What came first, Troma’s Poultrygeist or Smear Pictures’ Zombeak?

I have no idea, but if you can’t get enough of the new zombie sub-genre, the Chicken Dead, then today is your lucky day.

Zombeak (official website) is hatching on DVD in the UK on March, 1, 2010. (I’m not sure about a US release date yet.)

“On the darkest night of the year, when Satan is allowed free reign to walk the earth, a motley crew of Satanists kidnap a sharp tongued southern waitress to be a given up as the Dark One’s bride and mortal host of the antichrist. But when her rowdy redneck friends botch up the ritual in a violent rescue attempt, all power of hell is inadvertently transferred into the most unlikely of hosts: a sacrificed chicken! Now, the Satanists and Rednecks battle one another as an evil most fowl threatens to swallow their souls and transform them into a demonic army of the walking dead! Who will survive the terror of Zombeak!?”
