Oasis of the Zombies - DVD, $9.99 (This piece of Nazi/zombie trash, reissued for the first time since 2001, is worth seeing for a laugh. And wisely priced at under $10.)

Cool gifts. :)
Wow - thanks for the heads-up on The Living Dead book.
Stephen King *and* his son Joe Hill (nee King) doing zombie stories? That's a must read for me.
And Big Steve lives only two blocks from me!
Yep, my dad's got the book, and I've read a bunch of the stories. Great stuff.
Double thanks for the Living Dead heads up.
