Ben Reads the Horror Classics: Murgunstrumm Enters the House of Flesh

UHD Review – Flesh Eater – Vinegar Syndrome

FLESH EATER is a movie that shouldn’t be nearly as enjoyable as the final product ended up being. You cannot blame Bill Hinzman for cashing in his claim to fame as the cemetery zombie in George A. Romero’s seminal classic NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. Hinzman doesn’t just coast on those zombie laurels either, in…
