That’s right MVP, This post is about George A. Romero’s “Dawn of the Dead!” This is probably my favorite Romero film. It has blood, guts, zombies and it’s fun! At the Fright Night Film Fest, we were able to see a panel of actors from the film. It was fun to hear stories about production. Mutantville was also at the George A. Romero Film Festival in Charlotte, NC and were able to hear Romero talk about Dawn of the Dead.

STAGE FRIGHT: THE GRAND-GUIGNOL AND THE POPULARITY OF HORROR

While the phrase “grand-guignol” has become commonplace in describing anything bloody or gory, its origin has its roots in an almost forgotten theater at the end of one of Paris’ alleyways. This theater, which started out life as a Catholic church, became famous for showing blood, guts, dismemberment, thrown eyeballs, acid burned faces, and severed tongues.

The Théâtre du Grand-Guignol (literally, The Theatre of the Large Puppet) was born in a part of town well-known for its roughnecks and whores in 1897. By the time it closed its doors for good in 1962 it had entertained hundreds of thousands of people and had a lasting influence on the worlds of literature, art, film, and theater.

The theater did not start out with the blood and guts, but was a theater dedicated to showing reality; taking its stories from the local papers. The theater had been running for several years before it hit on the formula of turning the most salacious stories into popular plays. Once they began with murder and rape, their popularity soared.
