Plot: a young woman wakes up, hung over, on New Year’s Day, to an apocalypse
In this episode, we follow a young woman played beautifully by Briana Evigan. She has just had a horrible night, but can’t remember much of it do to her hangover. All she knows is that she argued with her boyfriend and will do anything to find him. The catch – there’s a zombie apocalypse outside that she has to wander through in order to get to said boyfriend.
Our mother loves Steve Niles. He’s her favorite horror guru and this piece of work is no exception. The zombies in this episode are skilled, appear to have emotions and can communicate with one another. It’s very original and the story is great. There’s a lovely twist at the end that I defy you to see coming. Me and DJ were both surprised and both excited by the implications.
Don’t give up on the series before watching this episode.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
