Night of the Chicken Dead

For a friends birthday we all went out to Brookline last night for dinner at Zaftigs -the almost Kosher Jewish deli and then to see a midnight screening of the Troma film release of Poultrygeist, Night of the Chicken Dead...

Dinner was awesome. There is not much better than going out with friends of a similar intellect and imagination. Especially when that imagination tends to run along the lines of surviving zombie attacks. On the downside there was SO much good conversation that I didn't really even know where to start paying attention... overload!

Conversation snippets that I caught:
• "I've seen so many zombie movies at this point that a group of zombies could walk by outside right now and I would be like 'oh, zombies' whatever.' Then I would be like 'wait those were zombies!'"
• A great deal of time was spent arguing (good naturedly) about how to save the economy
• Spam (the food) ... as per usual... came up more than once, including a grand plan for a spam focused restaurant and carving boats out of spam, filling them with deviled egg mixture and giving them little sails made of bacon
• A great deal else
Birthday gifts included an entire book filled with zombie haiku.

We expected the movie to be terrible... terrible... terrible...
It was indeed infinitely terrible. Enough said. Check out the preview at the bottom of this page.
Thanks everyone for an awesome evening!
