Dismember the Alamo '08 Starts Tonight!

A few weeks ago, we told you about the second annual Dismember the Alamo Zombie Film Fest. But in case you forgot to mark your calendar, we'd like to remind you that it starts TONIGHT! And this year's lineup looks like a hell of a lot of fun.

The fest kicks off with a screening of Bio Zombie, Wilson Yip's zom-com homage to Romero's Dawn of the Dead (at least in that it takes place in a mall, and features zombies). Perhaps more importantly, tonight's schedule also features a screening of Lucio Fulci's Zombi 2, widely considered to be one of the best zombie flicks ever. You know--it's the one where the zombie wrestles a shark! For real!

Tomorrow night's lineup features a special appearance by Max Brooks (son of Mel), whose books "The Zombie Survival Guide" and "World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War" are completely awesome, and fully zombie-related. Brooks' appearance will be followed by a FREE Horror Remix Zombie Triple Feature, featuring the best scenes from The Dark Power, Let Sleeping Corpses Lie, and Sole Survivor.

Saturday night, the Zombie Shorts Program and awards will get the ball rolling, followed by a screening of the ultimate zombie comedy (and one of our favorite comedies ever, period), Shaun of the Dead. Apparently, the Shaun screening will also feature a record throwing contest.

Best weekend ever? Yes. More details can be found here.
