Usually, zombies require a suspension of disbelief. The "get bitten, go feral" routine typically requires a few tropes and shrugs. Not these zombies - at least, not as far as anybody knows. Not yet. Nobody's seen them. They're all hunkered down in a radio station, broadcasting to a quiet little town suddenly full of jabbering cannibals. Turn up the volume with us this week for a remarkably weird radio horror movie that would make H.G. Wells proud.
