The remaining survivors exiled from the Strip Mall of the Damned find themselves in the world's smallest largest model of New York City. The place is in ruins, which leads Scrutinizer Zacharia to take the lead by proposing the latest conclave: Lance Mungia's 1998 film "Six-String Samurai," a rockin' and rollin' post-apocalyptic alternate future where a Buddy Holly lookalike strides across the ruins of the Old World seeking to claim the mantle of King.

Cinquisitor Ethan submits a field report about the 1979 film Lucio Fulci's "Zombie," a/k/a "Zombi 2," a/k/a "Zombie Flesh Eaters." This knock-off-slash-sort-of-sequel to George A. Romero's 1978 film, "Dawn of the Dead," isn't widely known, yet it's highly influential and features some grave sources of CINEMANIA.
