Girl Attacked by Demon!! Caught on Camera

Posted November 25, 2008 at 10:55 pm by Jeffrey

This ghost video has been floating around for a while (no pun intended). This is a fictional video but it seems very realistic. For The Dead Travel Fast is pleased to present one of the most popular ghost videos on the web.

Dawn Of The Dead (2004)

Posted November 25, 2008 at 7:54 pm by Dave

Under the award winning direction of Zach Snyder, the 2004 remake of the 1978 screenplay from the mind of George Romero won the Golden Trailer for best horror/thriller movie for the year.

Unlike most horror movies of the day, this movie leaves out nonsensical themes like “love conquers all, cuddles and family values,” this one cuts right to the chase with one liner’s like “Tell him to shoot Burt Reynolds”. Cut to headshot.

This movie is entertaining to the audience of today, complete with armies of the undead, being decapitated with chainsaws and main characters being turned into flesh eating zombies.

This will keep you on the edge of your seat until the moment that the zombies enter your living room and get you as well.

Night of Terror in South Jersey

Posted November 25, 2008 at 6:41 pm by Jeffrey

Great Film.  This film is obviously inspired by movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre and house of 1000 corpses. There is the lead girl and an older male who enjoys to watch.  I thought this movie was much in the same light as those i’ve mentioned. It seems that these are also the most fun to watch in a dark sort of way.

Demon Appears in Photograph

Posted November 25, 2008 at 5:54 pm by Jeffrey

This video shows what looks like a dog. Its very strange. In mythological terms Demons can appear in many different apparitions. This doesn’t seem to be a fake photography. This could very well show that evil and good are right here with us. Do people carry around evil spirits?

Pet Sematary

Posted November 25, 2008 at 5:35 pm by Jeffrey

I am going to be writing reviews of a few older films in the coming days. I feel that the older horror films that may or may not be known are just as scary of the newer movies coming out day to day. The first movie i wanted to review is a movie called Pet Sematary.

I think we all know the plot of this movie. The creeds move into a new house. The family cat is hit by a truck. The neighbor Judd takes Louis to a secret Pet Sematary. Later, Louis finds the cat revived and with a new evil personality. When his son dies in a fatal accident Louis, hoping to revive him, buries his son in the pet Sematary.  He ends up unleashing evil.

This movie in my opinion is the best adaptation of movie to film done by king. The movie features outstanding central performances by Dale Midkiff,Fred Gwynne, and Denise Crosby and some really gruesome gore effects. Mary Lambert has a great visual sense. Lambert made an already creepy novel into a frightening viewing experience.

Lambert certainly knows how to scare the audience. The scene of Zelda, in my opinion, is by far one of the scariest images in a film I have ever seen.

Gage Creed is by far the most memorable part of the movie. He goes from being one of the cutest kids in a horror film to a monster. Obviously, he is still a charming little kid. What is memorable to me is how well he was depicted as evil towards the end. The line that stuck out most to me is when Louis has to give Gage a shot that will kill him. Gage goes from being an evil killing machine to a innocent child again who begins to cry along with his father. “No fair, No Fair, No Fair.” Its one of the best horror films i have seen.

Dead End

Posted November 24, 2008 at 5:18 pm by Jeffrey

In my opinion a lot of downfalls in horror movies these days is the lack of simplicity. If you think about it the majority of plots are simple, but ruined when written to make characters act out of logic. Dead End keeps it simple. The plot is essentially just a concept film; family driving in a car, lost on a road that seems to not end, encountering things beyond explanation along the way. The director in this film basically presents a story and lets it unfold in a way normal people react. It doesn’t try to expand horizons or create a new sub genre. It simply is telling a horror story about a family.

The film isn’t horrifying but only because the script continues to move on. It only stops when it needs to elaborate or scare you. This is why you will never be horrified but you will feel the hair raise on the back of your neck throughout the film. The tone set from the beginning is great. The acting is very is very realistic.

The movie strips away the glam that has become horror movies lately and leaves a story. A simple tale of a man and his family taking the back roads to beat traffic on a crisp christmas eve night. The story will scare you.

5 scientific reasons a zombie apocolypse could actually happen

Posted November 23, 2008 at 2:13 pm by Jeffrey

This is a very interesting somewhat comical article about real reasons a zombie apocolypse could occur. I hope you enjoy. You can view the entire article at the original page via [Cracked.com]

We found out recently that if you try to leave a little kid in a graveyard late at night, he’ll freak out. Even if you offer to leave him a gun to protect himself. Why? It’s because on some instinctual level, all humans know it’s just a matter of time until the zombies show up.

Our culture is full of tales of the undead walking the Earth, from our religions to our comic books. But, some sort of zombie apocalypse isn’t actually possible, right?

Right?

Guys?

Actually, yes. It’s quite possible. Here’s five ways it could happen, according to science.

#5.
Brain Parasites

As seen in …
Resident Evil IV

What are they?
Parasites that turn victims into mindless, zombie-like slaves are fairly common in nature. There’s one called toxoplasmosa gondii that seems to devote its entire existence to being terrifying.

This bug infects rats, but can only breed inside the intestines of a cat. The parasite knows it needs to get the rat inside the cat (yes, we realize this sounds like the beginning of the most fucked-up Dr. Seuss poem ever) so the parasite takes over the rat’s freaking brain, and intentionally makes it scurry toward where the cats hang out. The rat is being programmed to get itself eaten, and it doesn’t even know.

Of course, those are just rats, right?

How it can result in zombies:
Hey, did we mention that half the human population on Earth is infected with toxoplasmosa, and don’t know it? Hey, maybe you’re one of them. Flip a coin.

Oh, also, they’ve done studies and shown that the infected see a change in their personality and have a higher chance of going batshit insane.

Chances this could cause a zombie apocalypse:
Humans and rats aren’t all that different; thats why they use them to test our drugs. All it takes is a more evolved version of toxoplasmosa, one that could to do us what it does to the rats. So, imagine if half the world suddenly had no instinct for self-preservation or rational thought. Even less than they do now, we mean.

If you’re comforting yourself with the thought that it may take forever for such a parasite to evolve, you’re forgetting about all the biological weapons programs around the world, intentionally weaponizing such bugs. You’ve got to wonder if the lab workers don’t carry out their work under the unwitting command of the toxoplasmosa gondii already in their brains. If you don’t want to sleep at night, that is.

You may be protesting that technically these people have never been dead and thus don’t fit the dictionary definition of “zombies,” but we can assure you that the distinction won’t matter a whole lot once these groaning hordes are clawing their way through your windows.

#3.
The Real Rage Virus

As seen in …
28 Days Later

What is it?
In the movie, it was a virus that turned human beings into mindless killing machines. In real life, we have a series of brain disorders that do the same thing. They were never contagious, of course. Then, Mad Cow Disease came along. It attacks the cow’s spinal cord and brain, turning it into a stumbling, mindless attack cow.

And, when humans eat the meat …

How it can result in zombies:
When Mad Cow gets in humans, they call it Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Check out the symptoms:

  • Changes in gait (walking)
  • Hallucinations
  • Lack of coordination (for example, stumbling and falling)
  • Muscle twitching
  • Myoclonic jerks or seizures
  • Rapidly developing delirium or dementia

Sure, the disease is rare (though maybe not as rare as we think) and the afflicted aren’t known to chase after people in murderous mobs. Yet.

But, it proves widespread brain infections of the Rage variety are just a matter of waiting for the right disease to come along.

Chances this could cause a zombie apocalypse:
If the whole sudden, mindless violence idea seems far-fetched, remember that you are just one brain chemical (serotonin) away from turning into a mindless killing machine (they’ve tested it by putting rats in Deathmatch-style cages and watching them turn on each other). All it would take is a disease that destroys the brain’s ability to absorb that one chemical and suddenly it’s a real-world 28 Days Later.

So, imagine such an evolved disease, which we’ll call Super Mad Cow (or, Madder Cow) getting a foothold through the food supply. Say this disease spreads through blood-on-blood contact, or saliva-on-blood contact. Now you have a Rage-type virus that can be transmitted with a bite.

Just like the movie. With one bite, you’re suddenly the worst kind of zombie:

A fast zombie.

#2.
Neurogenesis

As seen in …
Laboratories around the world.

What is it?
You know all that conversy out there about stem cell research? Well, the whole thing with stem cells is that they can basically be used to re-generate dead cells. Particularly of interest to zombologists like ourselves is neurogenesis, the method by which they can re-grow dead brain tissue.

You can see where this is going.

How it can result in zombies:
You wanted the undead to make an appearance in this article? Well, here you go, you creepy bastards.

Science can pretty much save you from anything but brain death; they can swap out organs but when the brain turns to mush, you’re gone. Right?

Well, not for long. They’re already able to re-grow the brains of comatose head trauma patients until they wake up and walk around again.

Couple that with the new ability to keep a dead body in a state of suspended animation so that it can be brought back to life later, and soon we’ll be able to bring back the dead, as long as we get to them quickly enough.

That sounds great, right? Well, this lab dedicated to “reanimation research” (yes, that’s what they call it) explains how the process of “reanimating” a person creates a problem. It causes the brain to die off from the outside in. The outside being the cortex, the nice part of you that makes humans human. That just leaves the part that controls basic motor function and primitive instincts behind.


Reanimation research (artist’s rendering)

You don’t need the cortex to survive; all you need is the stem and you’ll still be able to mindlessly walk and eat and enjoy Grey’s Anatomy. This is how chickens can keep walking around after they’ve been beheaded (including one case where the chicken lived for 18 months without a head).

So, you take a brain dead patient, use these techniques to re-grow the brain stem, and you now have a mindless body shambling around, no thoughts and no personality, nothing but a cloud of base instincts and impulses.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is what we like to call a real, live, undead fucking zombie. So there.

Chances this could cause a zombie apocalypse:
Think about it. Under every legal system in the world, all rights and responsibilities are terminated at death. All it takes is someone with resources and a need for a mindless workforce of totally obedient slave labor.

How long until somebody tries this? We’re betting somebody in the world, maybe North Korea, will have a working zombie by Christmas.

Disturbance 2013

Posted November 23, 2008 at 1:00 am by Jeffrey

At for the dead travel fast I try to bring the best parts of the horror genre together. This is one of those times I not only found a quality horror short film.. but I find a gem. Directoer, Writer, Actor, and Producer Joe Burke and Studio Elantra Films put together an amazing story.

The Imdb says “DISTURBANCE 2013 tells the horrific story of three friends who find a mysterious girl’s dead body in their bathtub during the aftermath of a wild and crazy birthday bash the night before. Filled with gripping suspense, emotional drama, and a slightly dark comedic edge, this short film serves as a window to the darker side of the human soul. ”

That in my opinion sums up this movie. Its emotional. The actors are all amazing. Its very believable. Keep in mind it is pretty dark. That being said, This one I believe you are sure to enjoy.
