Think of a person that loved the scaries form the B&W thru the 70s. THen make that person a musician, with aloof tastes and self-expression in everything they touch. Mix a dark side, comedy/et.al and you have the creator of this lovingly-made hommage to past scaries - Mr.Zombie.

Artsy, full of represenation and love for the genre - not particularly scary, not evenn particulalrly gory...
(give him a break, he's a musician, not a filmmaker) ;).

Still, a wonderful, fun film. A respectful 'bow' to what has come before it.
Bravo.
