Free gory goodie bags will be handed out to all, and J. Cannibal will award a number of prizes for the best zombie costumes from New England Comics, Regeneration Tattoo and Horror Business.

Best Naked zombies

Feast of Flesh

Twice a year at the Coolidge Corner Theatre, skull-faced gentle giant J. Cannibal presents FEAST OF FLESH, an undead extravaganza featuring live music, a zombie contest, and zombie-themed "grotesque burlesque" (where else can you see green, rotting tits?), all culminating in a cult-classic zombie B-flick, handpicked by the Cannibal himself. He used to be an undertaker, so the man knows his corpses. Feast of Flesh is generally packed to the decaying gills with the freaks and geeks of the local underworld (i.e., Hot Topic enthusiasts) and die-hard fans of horror kitsch, so plan your visit to the Feast early.

Following their set will be a bevy of grotesque burlesque courtesy of the infamous horror troupe, Black Cat Burlesque. Dedicated to putting the BUMP back into the night, Black Cat Burlesque has been raising pulses, the dead and a whole lot of hell since 2003.

For the night’s feature, Mr. Cannibal has hand-picked one of his all-time favorite zombie films: CEMETERY MAN. Not only is this an oustanding zombie film, but Martin Scorsese himself has called it one of the best Italian fims of the 1990s, period. Featuring flying heads, hot zombie sex, undead motorbike brats and the coolest gravedigger to ever swagger across the silver screen, this film actually inspired Mr. Cannibal to get into the undertaking business himself. You definitely want to catch this one on the big screen!

Free gory goodie bags will be handed out to all, and J. Cannibal will award a number of prizes for the best zombie costumes from New England Comics, Regeneration Tattoo and Horror Business.

J. Cannibal, producer and MC of the bi-annual "J. Cannibal's Feast of Flesh" zombie fest, brings you a program of horror shorts hand-picked from the BUFF meat locker. The real-life undertaker—crowned Boston's king of horror and oddities by local media—has put together an evening of cannibalistic cowboys, gun-totin' grannies, homicidal Christmas trees and nightmarish animations. With more than enough blood to wash it all down, there's something for every freak in attendance! Of the selections, J. Cannibal writes: "There are films here that made me laugh and clap, and a few that genuinely creeped me out. When you cut people open for a living it takes a lot to scare you, or make you laugh. Some of these images have stayed with me for weeks; I think horror fans will be very pleased." Admission to all Boston Underground Film Festival events is only $8.

The night's line-up is set to include:

Dead Bones / Olivier Beguin 2008
I, Zombie / Danny Curtin 2008
Guns and Butter / Nate Chapman 2008
