Zombiemania: Tonight on Space!

If you’re Canadian, have digital cable and a love of zombies be sure to check out the world premiere of Zombiemania on Space tonight at 9:00pm Eastern / 6:00pm Pacific. Zombiemania is an hour-long documentary by Halifax based Sorcery Films that looks at cinematic zombies and why some folks, like me and you, are fascinated with them. Zombie culture notables George A. Romero, director of Night of the Living Dead, Tom Savini, actor and special effects make-up master, Max Brooks, author of The Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z, as well as Wade Davis, the anthropologist, ethnobiologist and author of The Serpent and The Rainbow are just a few of those interviewed. As well as interviews we will see clips from the past 70 years of zombie movie history.

My PVR is set.



DotD VW Ad


This is what you get when you take footage of George A. Romero’s 1978 zombie classic, Dawn of the Dead, add a funky song by The Doors to flesh out the soundtrack, mix it with a dash of creativity, overlay some amusing titles, throw in a VW logo and mash ‘em all together. Funny stuff.



This film started it all…


 

I give you Night of the Living Dead. Yes, it’s the whole damned film. As it is public domain it is legal to do. I have made it the first post and am using the date of it’s original release as the timestamp for the post (there were no blogs in ‘68 silly) as before it there should be no other.

All hail George A. Romero. They’re coming to get you Barbara!
