Zombie Fest

I don't know what got me thinking about it, really... I think I found a copy of Dawn of the Dead (2004) on my jumpdrive, and decided I wanted to know more about zombie movie zistory. A quick Google search later, and I stumbled upon the following, which is an EXCELLENT resource for the aspiring zombie movie buff.
Zombie Movie History @ Best-horror-movies.com
Reading through that page gave me an insight into the long-lived history of the zombie movie, dating back as far as 1932, with White Zombie. One of my most vivid memories from childhood is watching the original Romero classic, Night of the Living Dead. I'm also a huge fan of Shaun of the Dead.
Basically what I'm getting at is I'd like to put together a ZombieFest, just some people getting together and watching a bunch of zombie flicks just for the sake of watching them. (Including, most likely, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead (1978), Zombi 2 (Zombie in the USA), and whatever else.
I'll probably end up just watching them by myself, which is totally cool, but if anyone else is interested, I'm searching around to see what I've got access to (public domain, Netflix "watch now", divx, etc.). And on that note, of course, here's Night of the Living Dead on Google Video (public domain).
Oh, another really cool part of the site I visited earlier was the "Ask a Zombie Master" section. Lots of fun Q&A.
I loved Shaun of the Dead, need to watch it again... been a couple years :)
I'm a huge fan of Shaun of the Dead. Problem is, the wife hates zombie movies, so I have to watch them by myself (and she complains. :P)
Hey, count me in. I heart Zombies.
