Finally, a class that covers the important stuff

Sep 10, 2010 08:05

I totally would have taken this class when I was in college.

Though I think I would have preferred one on vampires. (You know, "real" vampires and vampire lore. Not the pasty, waif-y, sparkly stuff that's going on now.)

( BGSU )

AHH! Zombies. After the Lycanthrope my all time favorite Horror Staple!

(I also wonder if they'll touch at all upon real zombies, humans who are poisoned with something akin to puffer fish venom and turned into the "walking dead." But that sounds like it's beyond the purview of this particular course.) I almost think they would have to touch on it. Before Romero, there had been a long string of Zombie movies of the traditional Voodoo type. (White Zombie, I Walked with a Zombie, the cringeworthy blaxplotation flick King of the Zombies and even Zombie on Broadway) These movies were about an individual losing their personality (becoming the walking dead) and being controlled by someone else. The zombies were not the villains. Whoever was turning people into zombies and controlling them was ( ... )

Geo says he's very impressed that you know about "Zombies on Broadway," because that's diggin' deep.

White Trash Zombie . . . Oh, yeah. I'm familiar. Have I mentioned Geo's re-write of that flick, White Trash Zombie?

Ironically, I read Geo's script of White Trash Zombie BEFORE I saw White Zombie and was able to recognize the scene he and J.T. had parodied.

And I haven't seen Zombies on Broadway- I only know it existed. Heard it was made by folks trying to squeeze out a quick flick from the interest generated by I Walked with a Zombie (used many of the same actors, props, etc.)

Of all the early Real!Zombie flicks, IWWaZ is my fav. I don't know if you've seen it, but if not, that might be one for our elusive "movie night". You can definitely get through that one without having to peek through your fingers. I made a bunch of IWWaZ icons that I was saving for Halloween, but you've inspired me to stick one up now. (Show Geo, he'll probably get a kick out of it) ;-)

Geo laughed at your icon.

He also says that if you want to see Zombies on Broadway, he has it.

He also asks if you've seen Tombs of the Bind Dead. If you haven't, he has that one, too.

I took "The Culture of Espionage" at BGSU. In reality we watched spy movies and read spy novels, but I liked letting people think I was training for the CIA.
