Dead Alive
Web exclusive!
Meet Lionel, a momma’s boy with a serious problem — his mom is a zombie. In the movie Dead Alive, Lionel can’t bring himself to off his undead mom or any of her zombie friends, so he keeps them locked up in the basement. In between tending to his captives and running from a pile of human organs, Lionel works hard to be normal. He takes a zombie baby out for a walk — in a barbed wire-lined stroller. He does get some help from Father McGruder, a priest who moonlights as a zombie-ass-kicking kung-fu master (“I kick ass for the Lord!”).
