Summary

AKA Sanguella, AKA The Island of the Living Dead, AKA Zombie Flesh Eaters, AKA Zombie, AKA Zombie The Dead Walk Among Us, AKA Gli Ultimi Zombi, AKA Woodoo, AKA L'Enfer de Zombies, AKA Zombie 2: The Dead Are Among Us and AKA Nightmare Island, this week we're talking about-- you guessed it-- a bananas Italian film. It's the 1979 Lucio Fulci vehicle "Zombi 2" and some special topics for your consideration include: How do boats work? But wait, how do radios work?, exceptionally terrible dubbing, epic eye trauma and a surprising connection to "Purple Rain."

Like Italian horror? Check out the best of our weird Italian films: Episode 41- "The Last Shark (L'ultimo Squalo)," Episode 84- "Demons," Episode 185- "Deep Red" or Episode 215- "Let Sleeping Corpses Lie."

We've got some really exciting stuff to promote this week! First, our sponsor, Squamous Studios-- a design and art studio who create super cool tabletop RPGs, particularly in the horror genre. Their Kickstarter for their newest game, Arkham Relics Hunt, IS LIVE NOW!! Check it out at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/323520698/arkham-relic-hunt

We'll be celebrating the first anniversary of our pals, the Ghoul on Ghoul podcast.
