Our long odyssey to find closure in the saga of Devil Comes Down and the American Zombie Film Contest has come to an end. This past Friday, MVP’s little zombie film opened before a raucous house at the historic Carolina Theatre in Durham. Devil Comes Down served as the curtain raiser for an amazing double feature of George A. Romero’s Survival of the Dead and Night of the Living Dead as part of the Retrofantasma film series. The Retrofantasma crowds at the Carolina Theatre are the best in North Carolina as they appreciate the genre and always set out to have a good time. Before the show – door prizes were given out including several one sheets for Romero’s latest film as well as three vintage Fangoria issues and an ultra rare G.H.O.S.T. t-shirt provided by Mutantville.com. The popcorn was plentiful, the screams raised the roof and the laughs kept coming as the packed house enjoyed the show from beginning to end. Romero’s latest film did not disappoint as it combined his trademark social satire with gut munching zombie antics.
As with all 
Retrofantasma showings – the movies were preceded by contemporary trailers to set the stage which on this night included Stanley Kubrick’s 2001, The Thomas Crown Affair, Barbarella, Herbie the Love Bug and many more! The very rare 35mm print of Night of the Living Dead looked crisp and sounded clear. Romero’s movie played as well as it always has with it’s stark imagery and social commentary carrying resonance even for today’s turbulent times.
MVP enjoyed another unforgettable night at the movies courtesy of the Carolina Theatre and Retrofantasma. If you are in the Raleigh/Durham area and you haven’t been attending the Retrofantasma shows – then you don’t know what you are missing. The Mutantville Players would like to thank Jim and the Carolina Theatre for allowing us to show our little movie in such a spectacular setting. We feel truly honored and blessed to have shared this moment with all of you.
