Oh yes, I'm well aware of Tabonga the Tree Monster of "From Hell It Came." It's a pretty cool monster!

One of my favorite drinking movies, very good with rum drinks, is George Romero's "Day of the Dead," which is terribly gory (this was in the unrated 80's), but a friendly film in certain other respects.

This is a movie where zombies have taken over the world and the few remaining humans live underground in a cave, where they do experiments on zombies to try to figure out how to deal with them.

Two of the humans have a little Tiki Retreat off in one corner of the cave (they believe in partying their way through the apocalpyse), and one of the two (the radio technician) is drinking constantly--I mean CONSTANTLY--through the film, carries a flask with him and everything. This character even drinks to make the unpleasant and frightening task of "zombie killing" a bit easier. I find this very funny--and also strangely realistic. Hey, who wouldn't do it that way?

Romero has always had a different way with a zombie tale.
