I've been too busy to write but I wanted to share my reaction to the 2nd night of the Zompire film festival. Overall I was still very impressed as were my friends who joined me. While I liked some films better than others there were really no terrible films. The first block had a lot more humor oriented films. I think the standouts were *Recently Deceased* and *The Lyncanthrope* (yes that one is neither a zombie now vampire movie but still damn good). *Movie Monster Insurance* was cute and well done as was *Zombies In Love*. The second block was *The Lost Boys* which was fun to see in a theater of people who were into it. The third and final block for the night was dominated by the final film *Zombie Love*. Not that the other films weren't good but when put against a zombie musical, well, they just couldn't compete. It was especially a shame for *Why Must I Be A Zombie In Love?* which preceded *Zombie Love* which may have been better placed in another block. As for *Danger! 50,000 Zombies!* the Nick Frost and Simon Peg short film, it had some great moments but also seemed to drag a bit. I'm not sure I am satisfied with my pick for the 2 best films of the festival that was asked on the feedback cards. I may have to email them with different choices. I think that at the end of a second night of multiple hours of zombie and vampire movies it was difficult to accurately recollect how I felt about all the films. I think the film I didn't pick but would strongly consider picking was *Recently Deceased* as it was one of the most fun films in the festival. Or maybe the process of trying to narrow down to 2 will always leave me feeling like I'm not doing justice to at least 1 film. As for next year, I suspect I'll be back and may try to encourage more people to join me as the people joining me this year really enjoyed themselves.
