Zombie Movies!

Well, welcome to the first real post of The Author's Casket, where I talk about most things horror and all things Planet Dead, why? Because it's my blog and I write it, duh!

So I've decided to watch a shit ton of Zombie movies as I'm finishing up "Planet Dead: Bloodthirsty" and getting started on the second book in the series. I've asked for some help with making a list but as we all know Social Media can be a wicked lover, one minute she wants you and is blowing up your phone at all hours of the night tell you to come over and the next she's telling everyone who will listen that she doesn't know you and doesn't know what you keep saying that you're in a relationship.

Yes, Demi Lovato, I got the restraining order and it cut deep.

Anyway, I've decided to start my Zombiefest off and just let people jump in with their picks as I got.

Oh, the reason I'm going all out with the zombies is because my next book in the Planet Dead series is gonna be an all out gore filled thrill ride, with crazy zombies, funny heroes, and blood, lots and lots of blood. So I wanted to make sure I have my head on right when I start it.

As of today 03/29/2017 I've watched:

My Boyfriend's Back (1993)

Anger Of The Dead (2015)

Now I'm not gonna get into a big breakdown on these movies, but I will tell you what's worth the watch. Now I'm sure many of you have heard that sweet little song My Boyfriend's Back, right? Well did you know they made it about a real zombie boyfriend who returned 15 years ago and needed to eat people to keep himself from decaying?

No! You didn't hear that because that's not real. I'm not sure what inspired the song but I can tell you, My  Boyfriend's Back is an awesome zombie movie. You have your comedy, you have your love story, and a mob out to get zombie blood. I think my favorite thing about this movie is the mom...even after her son became a zombie she still made sure he was eating right.

Now That's The Real MVP.

Anger Of The Dead was a random movie I found on Hulu, don't sleep on Hulu guys, it has a pretty big and good library of movies. So I saw this movie and I thought 'okay low budget horror movie, that's gonna just play in the background' 

I was wrong, this movie was pretty good, it started off with a bang and went out on one as well. I'm not gonna say it's the best zombie movie ever but it was pretty good, it kind of felt like someone who watched a lot of walking dead and wanted to make their own fan movie.

Oh, shit haha it's like Walking Dead Fanfic. There is a Negan type person and A Rick type. They had a lot of concepts that were in the show and comics in this movie, like saying goodbye to your infected sister before shooting her. The whole opening felt like the beginning of the walking dead, I'm pretty sure they used the same song.  

I think for what it was, it was a really good movie and part of me wishes there was more because you are left with some unanswered questions. 

Anyway, if you wanna check those out I believe My Boy Friend's Back is on Amazon prime and like I said Anger Of The Dead is on Hulu.

Okay guys, it's time for me to get back to killing some zombies.

Oh I started up a wattpad account again, I'll write more about that later on.

You Know What's Hard....

I've been self-published for a little over a month now and while I could complain about a lack of sales and reviews, I won't. I love the fact that I even got it out there, it's the very first step towards what I want to do in life. Yet what I'm finding to be hard is the next step, my next project, my next move, my next anything!

I'm kind of at a stand still, I have my main novel that I'm working on and a mystery series that I'm plotting out, but I feel if I want to be a full-time author, I need to be taking more steps than just sitting down and writing every night.

I guess I feel that I should be bringing more to the table if I really want to make my dreams come true. So I started looking into audio books, online retail, and making a Youtube channel. I started looking up more ways to get myself out there, to find the people that want to read what I'm putting out.

What's hard is knowing you meant to be something and not fully understanding how to go about it. There are too many different avenues to go down, so I'm deciding here and now.

I'm gonna say fuck it and write....I'll figure the rest out as I go.

But I do want to do a YouTube channel, something horror based......

Someday
