Basically just a clip compilation, though with some original linking segments. The zombie movie clips themselves show a lot of zombies and female nudity, including (thanks to Zombie Lake and The Invisible Dead) a fair amount of full-frontal nudity. Most zombie fans will have seen all these movies (a mix of classic and pointless clips from them are used), so it's disappointing some more obscure zombie films weren't put in the mix. There are some more obscure movies, yet they aren't zombie movies, but I guess ZombieandEuroHorrorThon doesn't roll off the tongue as easily. And they would have had to make some linking segments in which Howard Vernon chases people into the theater or something.
In the first of these linking segments, a woman dressed a bit like a schoolgirl is chased by a (rubber-masked) zombie in an overgrown garden, and takes refuge in an old movie theater... filled with zombies watching the zombie movie clips. This is followed by clips from Fulci's Zombie.
In the next, a sunbather is confronted with an armored or robotic zombie of some kind, and she too runs to the theater. This is followed by clips from Zombie Lake.
The third has a woman offering some dreamy narration over shots of crashing waves. Dressed in flowing white clothing, she goes down to the beach while a woman somewhere else uses a voodoo doll to revive a zombie, which picks up the woman in white and takes her to the theater. This is followed by clips from Oasis of the Zombies.
The next segment has a woman with her young daughter in deserted streets that a zombie also wanders. Surprisingly, this does not conclude with them going to the theater. There's a title card with a quote attributed to Hieronimus A. Steinback from the 17th century, "For centuries, theologists, philosophers and poets have delved into the universe in search of proof of the existence of the devil. It would have been sufficient to look into the depths of their own souls." This is followed by clips from the somewhat rare Fear AKA L' Ossessione che uccide (1981). There are no zombies in it, but because it features the gorgeous Laura Gemser, no one should object too much. Actually, there is a zombie in it briefly, in what I gather (from a review of Fear by Mike Martinez of Kult Movie Maximus) is a dream sequence. An axe and a chainsaw get used in it, and there's a lame giant spider and some fake bats. I'd like to see this one now!
The Fear clip returns us to the theater, where the zombie projectionist is having some difficulties and is making the zombie patrons impatient. When he finally gets things working again, there's clips from The Invisible Dead. This relatively little-seen movie is not a zombie flick either. Evidently Wizard Video, which produced Zombiethon, distributed this also and used their video box art for Invisible Dead to create the impression it was a zombie movie as well. This one seems like it could be amusing.
The woman and her child show up in the theater just as some odd random images are showing. The child is not phased at all, hitting a zombie over the head with a pink balloon, and bothering it with a party whistle. When the projectionist gets things rolling (he's not very good) a title "The Pre-Halloween Late Show" comes up, followed by clips from A Virgin Among the Living Dead.
After a brief shot of the zombies, we get clips from The Astro-Zombies. It's one of a number of really cheap horror movies John Carradine appeared in, copying Lugosi's career, seemingly. Director Ted V. Mikels directed a sequel to this 1969 movie of his in 2002! In the final segment, the zombies have a party in the theater. Supposedly Zombiethon features clips from White Zombie, but I seem to have missed those.
