Hey, New Englanders, looking for a good way to kick-start your Halloween celebrations? While normally I would suggest some good old fashioned virginal sacrifices mixed with a healthy dose of bloodletting, this year I’m ready to try something different: a Feast of Flesh!

For the seventh year in a row, local real-life undertaker and worshiper of all things zombie, J. Cannibal, is bringing his Feast of Flesh celebration to the Coolidge Corner Theater, one of the coolest theaters Boston has to offer! A night of rock and roll provided by Rock City Crimewave, naughty dancing courtesy of Black Cat Burlesque and a 35mm print of Peter Jackson’s Dead Alive await, starting at midnight on Saturday, September 27th!

Make your plans, tell you friends, and bring some beautiful women because, really, we can never have enough of those at any gathering. Cannibal and his crew will be handing out

Rating: 6.6 out of 10

James Kennedy must have quite the gash on his noggin' from smacking his head against the wall every time Dead City gets compared to Shaun of the Dead. I mean, can you imagine the frustration of having to follow on the heels of Pegg and Wright's international splatstick success? It must be about about as fun as getting the bubonic plague. Truth be told, Shaun was hardly the first zombie flick to mix the undead with other genres for the sake of a good joke. Mark Goldblatt's Dead Heat lampooned the buddy movie way back in '88, while Peter Jackson's Braindead even brought designer gore into the romantic comedy as early as '92. However, Dead City is also British which doesn't help, so what can you really do but make the connection and move on.
