Says Ant Timpson (Mr Incredibly Strange): "When the Incredibly Strange team were young we used to look forward to every Friday 13th on the calendar year because that meant a horror film would be on the big screen.

"However somewhere along the way distributors simply couldn't be fucked in providing some thrills for the kids on this very special day.

"We find that lack of showmanship pretty damn dire and to prove a point, we're going to screen some old school 35mm horror for the movie fiends in Auckland."

He describes City of the Walking Dead: "It's from the prolific and diverse mind of Umberto Lenzi, one of Italy's greatest genre directors.

"It's a zombie pic that delivers the meaty goods in a kooky pic that breaks all the rules of the walking dead. For starters these zombies are fucking fast and they're no dummies either, they're happy to either chow down or use a machine gun on your arse. The film has none of the mean-spiritedness of his Make Them Die Slowly but contains the utter lunacy and high gore factor of his Eaten Alive and Iron Master."
