It’s official: the zombie apocalypse is here. The living dead have been lurking in popular culture since the 1930s, but they have never been as ubiquitous or as widely-embraced as they are today. Zombie Cinema is a lively and accessible introduction to this massively popular genre. Presenting a historical overview of zombie appearances in cinema and on television, Ian Olney also considers why, more than any other horror movie monster, zombies have captured the imagination of twenty-first-century audiences. Surveying the landmarks of zombie film and TV, from White Zombie to The Walking Dead, the book also offers unique insight into why zombies have gone global, spreading well beyond the borders of American and European cinema to turn up in films from countries as far-flung as Cuba, India, Japan, New Zealand, and Nigeria. Both fun and thought-provoking, Zombie Cinema will give readers a new perspective on our ravenous hunger for the living dead.

Zombies are cautionary forms of humankind's most universally cherished ideal--life after death. Ragged, ill-spoken, rotting zombies (or the post-dead) seem socially awkward beside the more popular and aristocratic undead, like Count Dracula. The humble zombie remains, for the most part, unappreciated and unacknowledged--until now. The first exhaustive historical overview of zombie films, this book's lengthy entries evaluate more than 200 movies from 16 countries over a 65-year period from the early 1930s to the late 1990s. It covers everything from large studio films to backyard videography, and touches on memorable television episodes and miscellaneous shorts. An introduction traces the evolution of the genre and interprets the broader significance of the zombie in contemporary Western mythology.

After producing three horror movies that went mostly ignored on YouTube, Justin and his filmmaking buddies decide it's time they create something noteworthy, something epic. They're going to film the Greatest Zombie Movie Ever. They may not have money or a script, but they have passion. And, after a rash text message, they also have the beautiful Alicia Howtz-Justin's crush-as the lead. With only one month to complete their movie, a script that can't possibly get worse, and the hopes and dreams of Alicia on the line, Justin is feeling the pressure. Add to that a cast of uncooperative extras and incompetent production assistants, and Justin must face the sad, sad truth. He may actually be producing The Worst Zombie Movie Ever... "Fans of Strand's other novels of outrageous circumstance...will not be disappointed. A delightfully ludicrous read."-School Library Journal on I Have a Bad Feeling About This

Since 1968, the name of motion picture director George Romero has been synonymous with the living dead. His landmark film Night of the Living Dead formed the paradigm of modern zombie cinema; often cited as a metaphor for America during the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights movement, the film used the tenets of the drive-in horror movie genre to engage the sociophobics of late-1960s culture. Subsequently Romero has created five more zombie films, and other directors, including Tom Savini and Zack Snyder, have remade Romero's movies. This survey of those remakes examines ways in which the sociocultural contexts of different time periods are reflected by changes to the narrative (and the zombies) of Romero's original versions.

White Zombie, the movie considered to be Hollywood's first zombie movie, was released in 1932, but cinema had already depicted creatures which, while not technically zombies, shared some of their recognisable characteristics. In James Young's Lola (1914), a grieving Doctor brings his kindly deceased daughter back to life only to discover that the permanent loss of her soul has turned her into a cold-hearted temptress; German filmmaker Robert Weine's classic 1920 expressionist horror, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, featured the wretched pale-skinned Cesare, a somnambulist under the control of a malevolent fairground showman. Other notable antecedents of the zombie sub-genre are two Czechoslovakian horror films: Arrival from Darkness, in which a wealthy landowner finds himself competing with a reanimated ancestor for the affections of his wife, and The Wedding Shirt, which tells of a young girl whose prayers for the return of her lost lover resurrects a malevolent spirit.Until George A. Romero transformed the sub-genre with Night of the Living Dead in 1968, the zombie was found shuffling listlessly around the movie-making basement, the domain of impoverished Poverty Row studios who cared little about art or characterisation. The films were cheap, and usually quite bad - but there was the occasional exception: Val Lewton delivered a nuanced, thoughtful addition to the sub-genre with 1943's I Walked with a Zombie (based in part on Charlotte Bronte's 19th Century romantic novel, Jane Eyre!); Herk Harvey's haunting Carnival of Souls (1962) provided an unusual perspective on returning from the dead, while Hammer applied their usual brand of quality to Plague of the Zombies, a chilling horror movie featuring a nightmare sequence in which the dead are seen rising from their graves that has provided inspiration for a whole generation of filmmakers.However, it was Romero's low-budget Night of the Living Dead that would prove to be the game changer. After his movie, filmmakers would no longer play on our fears of being turned into a zombie by some twisted madman; instead, they would terrify us with the prospect of becoming their prey, of having our flesh ripped apart by predatory - if shambling - monstrosities of nature made all the more horrifying by the fact that they were once like us.This book is the first in a series that aims to chronicle, review and rate every feature-length zombie movie ever made. The good, the bad and the indifferent will all come under scrutiny, with as much consideration given to the obscure, low-budget rarity as to major studios' blockbusters.
