CONTEST: Movie Mystery Grab Bag!
When there’s no more room in movie hell, the zombie movies walk the earth. Or something like that. Horror hub Dread Central teamed up with producer Jesse Baget and IMAGE/RLJ Entertainment to bring us ZOMBIEWORLD. With IMAGE/RLJ doing such a great job with horror releases lately, I was stoked to […]
