Welcome to episode 62 of Bede Vs. The Living Dead.
After the release of Day Of The Dead in 1985, it would be another 20 years until George A. Romero would his next instalment of his Dead Series. However, it wasn't the only Romero related film that was released in 2005. The Taurus Entertainment Company tried on to capitalise on the release of Romero's Land Of The Dead by producing an *unofficial* direct-to-video prequel/sequel to DOTD, which they actually owned the rights to. For this episode, takes a look at the resulting film: the infamous Day Of The Dead 2: Contagium from directors Ana Clavell & James Dudelson (Creepshow 3).
Joining Bede to discuss this most reviled *sequel* are returning guests John Seavey (Half Price Horror) & Doug Tilley (Cinema Smorgasbord, No-Budget Nightmares). Highlights include wonder if Day Of The Dead 2: Contagium isn't as bad as everyone said it is, the bizarre swings it goes with its story, the mix-bag preformances of the cast, the weird fake movie that the characters are watching, is this both a prequel or a sequel? and so much more.
