Day of the Dead on Scary Movie Saturday Halloween Edition!
George A. Romero's Day of the Dead
It’s the darkest day of horror the world has ever known – it’s George A. Romero’s Day of the Dead! In 1969, George A. Romero changed the genre of horror as we know it and the way films are made as we know it with his seminal zombie classic Night of the Living Dead. He followed that up almost a decade later with the now equally important Dawn of the Dead which ushered in an era of gore films. In the 80′s Romero found himself unable to secure the financing he wanted for his third entry in the zombie series and was forced to scale the entire project back.
When Day of the Dead was finally released – fans of his previous two films didn’t know what to make of the bleak nihilistic tale of terror that unfolded before them. With time – Romero’s Day of the Dead has come to be heralded as another classic in a series filled with classics. It’s a personal favorite of the Mutantville Players and we’re happy that someone uploaded it to Youtube so that we could share it with you here.
(Witness the darkest day of horror the world has ever known after the leap!)

Eli Roth lists his Top Five Horror Films.
The good scribes over at Slasher Studios have just posted a link to an interview with Eli Roth from the Daily News Los Angeles in which he discloses a list of his favorite horror films. Some of his choices seem to be no-brainers but a couple might surprise you. Check out the trailers to his choices below and then hop over to Daily News Los Angeles to read the complete interview with Mr.Roth.
“Sleepaway Camp” (1983): Ah, “Sleepaway Camp.” I remember watching this film at a sleepover with Lenny Mead and a bunch of friends in the mid-’80s, and when the movie ended we literally stood up out of our chairs and screamed at the top of our lungs until we ran out of air. I will not say why – and don’t go looking up the spoilers on the Internet because that will take all the fun away. Treat yourself to a wonderful surprise.

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
A Nightmare On Elm Street

This week on Classics Corner, we feature “A Nightmare on Elm Street.” As you all know, this movie starts Robert England as Freddy Krueger. We also get introduced to this young guy, Johnny Depp that goes on to be in a few other films. 
I still remember being a kid and hearing all the other kids talking about how scary it was. It’s funny how scary it can be to hear others tell you what happened in films. Many times what they think they saw or what happened in their minds are more horrifying than what really happened.
The film also stars John Saxon, Ronee Blakley, Marge Thompson, Heather Langenkamp, Nancy Thompson, Amanda Wyss, Jsu Garcia, Charles Fleischer, Joseph Whipp, Lin Shaye and Joe Unger.
So…how did Nightmare on Elm Street effect you? Do you still remember the first time you saw it? Please leave comments below! Thanks!

George A. Romero honored as Inspirational Filmmaker of the Month!
It was 1968. George A. Romero and a group of his friends and co-workers pooled their money and resources together to make a horror film. That horror film was Night of the Living Dead and it changed the course of horror forever by ushering in the modern age. George A. Romero celebrates his 71st birthday on February 4th. Mutantiville.com and the Mutantville Players would like to wish Mr. Romero a happy birthday. Mutantville.com would like to award Mr. Romero the Inspirational Filmmaker of the Month award for February 2011 for his influence on and undying dedication to the genre we all love. Thank you for the many amazing movies and here’s to hoping for many more.

Classics Corner: Carnival of Souls.
George A. Romero is often credited with being the godfather of modern horror and rightfully so. However, there is a little known horror film that came out a good six years before Romero’s Night of the Living Dead and served as a big inspiration on Romero’s work - Carnival of Souls.
Carnival of Souls is a creepy, atmospheric horror movie about a woman caught in a traumatic accident who finds herself wandering around a strange abandoned carnival. Carnival of Souls deserves a spot in MVP’s Guerrilla Filmmaker’s Pantheon as both the writer John Clifford and director Herk Harvey waived their earnings on the movie in order to get the film made on a minuscule budget of $17,000. That’s guerrilla filmmaking at it’s finest.
Check out the trailer:

George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead
Streebo, Dave and Jason prepare for the screening of Devil Comes Down!
As many of you know, our short film “Devil Comes Down” was shown before the early screening of George A. Romero’s newest film “Survival of the Dead” a while back. After the screening of “Survival of the Dead,” a 35mm version of “Night of the Living Dead” was shown at the Carolina Theatre in Durham. It was great to see this on the big screen.
During the Light Factory’s “American Zombie Festival” in 2009, I was able to hear Mr. Romero speak about the making of “Night of the Living Dead” the night of the screening. I also attended a seminar with Streebo. There were many stories that all filmmakers can relate with. Most of these are about overcoming obstacles and adversities (which is useful in life in general of course). It was very inspirational to hear he started from humble beginnings as well and above all else…..Finish it (referring to the film you’re working on).
As far as “Night of the Living Dead,” I enjoy that he uses a lot of emotion to pull the cast apart as opposed to many movies that are just chase films with no emotional attachment to the characters. There are some movies (I won’t name names…ah ah ah choothe New Friday the 13thooo…excuse me) that has tons of what’s the word….douchey characters that you could care less about. This movie you have someone to pull for and for the time period, it’s not the one that was probably politically correct.
In honor of getting to see this in 35mm on the big screen, here are some interesting articles about “Night of the Living Dead.”

Alice Cooper & Rob Zombie – Gruesome Twosome Tour
It’s after 1am on a Wednesday night. 8am meeting thirty minutes away tomorrow morning. But….It’s worth it. I just returned from seeing/listening to the Alice Cooper & Rob Zombie show in Charlotte. It was great!
The Gruesome Twosome Tour 2010 Rob Zombie & Alice Cooper
The wait is over! Alice Cooper & Rob Zombie will share the stage for a very limited time! Get tickets and more info at www.alicecooper.com and www.robzombie.com
The night started off with Alice Cooper. I’ve always seen his performances on TV and on film but never live…so once I was invited, I wanted to see his stage show. It was cool. Lots of theatrics, which were cool. Everything sounded good as well. There is still a lot of the tour and you can find more about it on Alice Cooper’s page. TOUR DATES!
I found this classic song by Alice Cooper! Enjoy.

Alice Cooper – Welcome to my nightmare (On Muppet Show)
Alice Cooper live on Muppet Show!
Next on the bill…Rob Zombie! Wow. He had a huge screen behind the drums and then 3 screens behind him on stage and 2 in front. He had cool film, footage, and effects going the entire show. They had some cool footage. For you horror fans, they had some “Night of the Living Dead” there was some Japanese Anime, some campy old school looking stuff, some gogo dancers, etc… It was a great show. As a guitarist, I was impressed by John 5. I’ve watched a lot of videos with him on YouTube and knew he was great at chicken pickin’ and loves Telecasters.
Thought I’d put a little Rob Zombie on here…but decided to go more old school Zombie!
