We all, probably, know the history of the cinematic zombie. Starting with voodoo zombies and then progressing to the flesh-eating kind with Romero's masterpiece Night of the Living Dead. But few people know about The Peoria Plague. This was an early 1970s radio broadcast that was very similar to the 1938 broadcast of The War of the Worlds by Orson Welles. It sounds like a normal radio broadcast, but things start to become increasingly scary as chaos begins to destroy the country. The undead have risen and this is what a radio broadcast would probably sound like.
Amazing stuff which should be known about among Zombie Aficiandos. So check it out!
Here's the link to download it, since it's quite hard to track down.
Enjoy :)

Last 5 Films Seen
Time for the last 5 films seen list. Complete with mini-reviews and clips! Hooray!
1) Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (1979)
Forget the Burton version of this Sondheim classic musical, that is NOTHING compared to the original stage version. The songs are better, the acting is better, the comedy is better, everything is better. Out of all the versions of Sweeney Todd none have quite come close to this particular version and George Hearn and Angela Lansbury are the best Todd/Lovett you'll ever see. Highly HIGHLY recommended!
2) The Capture Of Bigfoot (1979)
The 1970s was one of the most prolific decades for the incredibly underrated Bigfoot film. Sure the films were bad, and this is no exception, but they were a lot of fun too. This is one of the better ones complete with an evil villain with a maniacal laugh, a car chase, lots of snow and some sentiment thrown in there too.

Never Prank The Bigfoot!
If you saw a Sasquatch right in front of you, what would you do? Try to capture it on video? Perhaps. But what if you saw a Sasquatch whilst you ate Jack Links Beef Jerky? Well that's a whole different story. You're going to prank that hairy beast! But that may not be the best idea....

Leprechaun: America's Most Wanted

Colorado Police are after an unknown man dressed in a leprechaun costume. He was spotted by several slightly confused shoppers at a local supermarket dressed in all green, complete with a wee little ginger beard, and using his fingers as a gun and for more...obscene gestures! Police have still yet to capture this clover-loving fiend, meaning the little guy is still at large. Police are currently looking for a magical rainbow for further clues.
Was this some kind of prank? An escaped loony? Or was it actually the real deal? Nah, it was probably a loony.

200 Crop Circles Appear in Wiltshire
A jumbo sized crop circle has appeared in a Wiltshire field, a county known to be one of the UK's biggest UFO hot spots. (Why the hell an alien would want to visit Wiltshire, I don't know) The formation consists off 200 circles of various sizes. Is this just an elaborate hoax (even if that was soooo 90s)? Or are some hooded aliens graffiting our countryside?
Article from The Metro
Personally I very much doubt it's a group of hoaxers with nothing better to do. If you ask me, it's aliens. The circles are signs. Signs warning us off our destruction. Hello apocalypse!
Speaking of crop circles, here's a fascinating video on this mystery...
According to that video, perhaps crop circles are indeed a sign of the end of times. Is it just a coincidence that the crop circle (4:58 on the video) specifically mentions the 30Th June? What day is it today? The 30Th of June. Spooky.
