MY ZOMBIE LOVER is a solid episode of the MONSTERS TV show which comes across as a romantic comedy horror. It's also an affectionate spoof of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, with many twists and turns in the plot that you won't see coming. It's original too; not bad for a TV episode with a 20-something minute running time.
The story involves a black family who are holed up in their house on one night of the year when zombies come out to play, leading to anarchy on the streets (shades of THE PURGE). Unfortunately for them, a zombie makes his way indoors, where he promptly falls in love with the teenage daughter. What follows is offbeat but surprisingly funny, with good performances from a game cast.
