Faithful listeners will have heard this very episode teased back in Episode 064… In case you missed it, in this BONUS episode of Jay of the Dead’s New Horror Movies, we begin a magnificent and ambitious little side project where we’re going through the Exploding Heads Horror Movie Podcast’s TOP 200 HORROR MOVIES OF ALL TIME, one film at a time, from time to time, as we take our sweet time — over time. Jay of the Dead listened to the three-part Episode 200 of the exceptional Exploding Heads’ countdown, which you can access by subscribing to their Patreon feed.

New Horror Movies Ep. 078: Dead Man Still Walking – Gaia (2021) and The Girl With All the Gifts (2016)
Time for Double Trouble with Dr. Bishop! This 25th Edition is a special “Double Episode” of DEAD MAN STILL WALKING, in which your intrepid host, Dr. Walking Dead Kyle Bishop, discusses Gaia (2021) and The Girl With All the Gifts (2016)! These two films feature depictions of the fungal zombie (aka “mycological zombie”), which is a type of zombification that actually occurs in the real world — just not among humans … yet. Kyle explores how these unusual zombie films are a little more “Science” and a little less “Science Fiction.” Speaking of which, you don’t want to miss Dr. Bishop’s creepy preface about ophiocordyceps unilateralis — the “zombie ant fungus”! Nightmare fuel, especially if you’re an ant. Join us!
