10 Fun Horror Films You Need To See

6. Poultrygeist: Night Of The Chicken Dead

Yes it’s another zombie comedy, but Poultrygeist has so much more going for it, including some surprisingly barbed satire as well as the kind of gore-drenched slapstick you simply don’t see in multiplex horror movies. There’s also musical numbers.

You see, by building an American Chicken Bunker on sacred Indian burial ground, big business has united displaced Native Americans and chickens sent to the “Concentration coup”, which can only mean one thing: chicken zombies will now walk the earth for revenge. As they attack the diner, breast implants are ripped out, an Oirish priest attempts to defeat them by brandishing a Mel Gibson DVD (“The power of the Christ compels you!”) and a redneck fry cook has his pride and joy torn off.

Whenever testicles aren’t being fried and eaten and the talking Mexican sandwich (don’t ask) is offscreen, characters are bursting into song. Typical of the numbers included is Slow Fast Food Love, a singalong anthem performed by topless women.
