Does anyone remember...

Many, many years ago there was a series that spoofed movies. It was sort of a knock-off of "MST3K" except instead of just making wisecracks during the movie, the entire movie dialogue as re-dubbed. There was an especially funny "Night of the Living Dead" I want my youngest to see. I can find other parodies of NOTLD on line, but not the one I'm thinking about.

Thanks!

It may have been on Comedy Central or HBO but I perhaps I'm getting confused with MST3K. We are needing a zombie fix now that "Walking Dead" is on winter hiatus and I thought that parody might be fun.

3. I remember it being on a uhf channel, like 1 am Sunday. It had a stupid name.

A two-word name, alliterative, I think. I looked up Fractured Flicks but that wasn't it.

I'm dating myself, but it was pretty entertaining stuff back in its day:

Host Hans Conried introduced short "flickers" pieced together from silent film footage and from other older movies, overdubbed with newly written comic dialogue and music. The voices for these were provided by fellow Ward mainstays Paul Frees, June Foray, and Bill Scott.
