Monster of the Day: Bubbathulhu

Source:  Dementia
Location:  Deep South
Threat Assessment:  3.  Has all the powers of his brother Cthulhu but Bubbathulhu is a bit more laid back.  Unlike his brother he's awake but he uses his awesome powers to force his insane followers to bring him beer and pork crackling.  He's actually fairly jovial as long as the TV reception is good.
Limitations:  Socially awkward driving people insane.

Cry Havok

Abraham Lincoln Vs. Zombies

God love you Asylum. Your mockbusters just keeping getting more insanely weird. Of course choosing to rip off "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Slayer" leaves little room for sanity. But for once I salute you.

The plot is pretty straight forward. Before being president Abraham had experience with the walking dead so he's not surprised to hear of them infesting a fort the North needs. So he enlists a small cadre of agents to come with him with his trusty scythe in hand to liberate the base. The charm of the film is besides Lincoln we meet Stonewall Jackson, a very young Teddy Rosevelt, and a conflicted John Wilkes Boothe. Don't worry there's plenty of beheadings and other mindless violence, but the historical asides just make it one demented scene to be sure.

The film rarely flags. While crazy, the characters don't act with the usual horror movie dumbness. The Lincoln make up was unconvincing. Some of the sets didn't work. Also, near the end they step over the line when Lincoln would proclaim "Emancipate this!" while beheading zombies. But overall, it was a fun film in a stupid way. Definitely a good film for a Saturday afternoon.

Things You Need To Know #171

Every man, animal and thing has a second story. Like a building the second story is built on the foundation of the first story but on the inside it can be completely different. Sometimes a man will find himself in his second story either through dream or some weird insurrection of reality. If there he might find heaven or hell or something stranger still. Remember, escape is always possible. Also remember, like the second story of a building, going out the window will have more consequences than leaving from the first.

This was something you needed to know.
