Aria De Winter has been enlisted by Death himself to kill 365 people in one year. Hard task? Well, it helps when Aria is planning an historic concert for the Diamond Dead, the world’s most famous underground rock band. It also helps that she’s the ex-girlfriend of the lead singer of the band. It helps even more that the band members have been dead for over a year. In other words, “There’s this boyband, and one of their girlfriends wants to sing in the group. They of course say no, as its a boyband. So she kills them by turning up their amps too high. She then feels bad, and makes a deal with the devil to bring them back. Unfortunately their noses and stuff keep falling off.”

[Theatre Review] ‘Night Of The Living Dead Live’ Is A Monster Of A Good Time!

“Night of the Living Dead Live” has just started its limited run in Toronto, Ontario at the Theatre Passe Muraille till Sunday May 19th. It’s brought to you by the good folks at Nictophobia Films and Co-Writer/Director Christopher Bond, who brought us the super-fun “Evil Dead: The Musical” a few years back. Catch it if you can! It’s well worth the effort.

In 1968, a little indie horror film by the name of Night of the Living Dead introduced moviegoers to a brand new monster; the zombie or as they were referred to by the filmmakers; the ghoul. Now, the zombie has been seen before in such films as I Walk with a Zombie and White Zombie but Co-Writer/Director George A. Romero redefined them not only by their look and performance but as well as their taste in food. NOTLD set such a strong template that even 45 years later, we’re still smitten by them. Presently Zombies are bigger than ever. From countless video games (Dead Island, Resident Evil 6), films (World War Z, Zombieland), television (The Walking Dead) to even zombie walks all across the globe, they’re a permanent fixture in pop culture.

Document of the Dead, a behind-the-scenes, all-access look at George Romero’s 1978 classic Dawn of the Dead, was originally released in 1985. Over the years, director Roy Frumkes has fleshed out his film school project with follow-up interviews and supplemental footage, resulting in several different versions. I would hazard a guess that most readers caught the version included in the Dawn of the Dead Ultimate Edition DVD. Almost 35 years after the project originally started, Synapse has released The Definitive Document of the Dead, Frumkes’ (supposedly) final version of his Romero stalk job. Re-edited and re-mastered, and with all-new exclusive material, The Definitive Document of the Dead is the longest version to date. Read on for the full review. READ MORE

Zombie film legend, George A. Romero was interviewed at the Lund International Fantastic Film Festival in Sweden by Twitchfilm, where he mentioned a little tid-bit about writing a secret book for Marvel Comics. Apparently the book does not involve any of their superheroes, so “Marvel Zombies” is off the list, but he promises it will involve zombies. He refused to comment any more on the project, but you can bet we’ll be digging. Check out the quotes after the jump. READ MORE

Horror Education of the Week: ‘Dawn of the Dead’

“These creatures are nothing but pure, motorized instinct. We must not be lulled by the concept that these are our family members or our friends. They are not. They will not respond to such emotions. They must be destroyed on sight!”

In George Romero’s 1978 Dawn of the Dead, zombies became a metaphor for the nature of consumerism. The zombies in Dawn of the Dead are there to function as walking symbols – synonymous with oppression and slavery. Writer Robin Wood said, “the entrapment in consumer-capitalism is from which structures and characteristic relationship-patterns the surviving humans must learn to extricate themselves or succumb to the ‘living dead.’”

The concept: Mass consumer culture deadens and alienates. Satirical horror at the pressure of social conformity. READ MORE

“I looked back at the diner to see if – if there was anyone there who could help me. That’s when I noticed that the entire place had been encircled. There wasn’t a sign of life left, except… by now, there were no more screams. I realized that I was alone, with fifty or sixty of those things just… standing there, staring at me! I started to drive, I – I just plowed right through them! They didn’t move! They didn’t run, or… they just stood there, staring at me! I just wanted to crush them! And they scattered through the air, like bugs.”

George Romero’s 1968 classic Night of the Living Dead helped modernize horror film from the gothic settings used at the time to create a new fear for today’s world. The familiarity of the storyline produced a terror that felt more real, even if outrageous. Night of the Living Dead examined the human will to survive and keep living, with or without the help of his fellow men – a theme that continues to this day. READ MORE

The anthology will consist of three 30-minute films:

“On Sabbath Hill” is a ghost story about a professor who is a stickler for student attendance. When his wandering eye causes a female student to kill herself, her ghost continues to come to class.

“Dust” tells the story of a security guard at a laboratory who steals Mars dust to cure his cancer-ridden wife. It works, but with some unintended side effects.

“The Gorge”: When Donna accompanies her fiance, Gary, and his best friend, Craig, on a morning caving expedition; she expects a fun hike, a few laughs, and maybe some kisses in the dark. But a sudden cave-in leaves them trapped with no way out. Gary’s leg has been crushed, and as the days go by, gangrene sets in. With everyone starving, Craig suggests that when they cut off the leg, maybe they should take just an extra few inches. Will it be enough to feed all of them? And how far will three people go to survive?

Exclusive Interview: Donald Rubinstein Discusses His Score From Romero’s ‘Martin’

Somewhere amidst the early 1980′s, I had gotten my hands on a VHS tape of George Romero‘s unique vampire vision, MARTIN.  Once John Amplas’ razor went the forearm of the woman on the train – I was hooked.  And not so much by the Tom Savini style gore, or George Romero reputation for entering legendary horror realms – but by the purity of it all – and the way the soundtrack, the film, the atmosphere and the abstract of it all blended together in such genre purity.
For many years after, the music has resonated in my mind.  It is the direct link to the lingering memories of an exceptional genre film – and what I like to think of as its signature. I had the honor of being able to speak with MARTIN‘s soundtrack composer – Donald Rubinstein – recently.  Although he is acclaimed and accomplished at Jazz and other score works that include George Romero’s BRUISER and KNIGHTRIDERS, we reflected on MARTIN alone, and how the magic, that is that score, came to be.

IN THEATERS MAY 28th The plot involves inhabitants of an isolated island off the North American coast who find their relatives rising from the dead to eat their kin. The leaders of the island feud over whether or not to kill their reanimated relatives or preserve them in hopes of finding a cure.

On a small island off North America’s coast, the dead rise to menace the living. Yet…the islanders can’t bring themselves to exterminate their loved ones, despite the growing danger from those the once held dear. A rebel among them hunts down all the zombies he can find, only to be banished from the island for assassinating his neighbors and friends. On the mainland, bent on revenge, he encounters a small band of survivors in search of an oasis on which to build a new life. Barely surviving an attack from a mass of ravenous flesh-eaters. They commandeer a zombie-infested ferry and sail to the island. There, to their horror, they discover that the locals have chained the dead inside their homes, pretending to live ‘normal’ lives…with bloody consequences. What ensues is a desperate struggle for survival and the answer to a question never posed in Romero’s Dead films: Can the living ever live in peace with the dead?

In Romero’s new pic, the zombies having taken over the world and those left alive are confined to a walled-in city that keeps out the corpse corps. Anarchy rules the streets, with the wealthy insulated and living in fortified skyscrapers. Drama revolves around a group of scavengers who must thwart an attempt to overthrow the city while the dead are evolving from brainless slow-moving creatures into more advanced creatures.

George Romero does for vampires what he has already done to zombies – an intense and realistic treatment that follows the exploits of Martin, who claims to be 84 years old, and who certainly drinks human blood. The boy arrives in Pittsburg to stay with his uncle, who promises to save Martin’s soul and destroy him once he is finished, but Martin’s loneliness finds other means of release.
