Are Zombies the New Vampires?
|
Halloween is right around the corner and pretty soon we’ll be seeing plenty of vampires and zombies take to the streets in their quest for human brains and blood…uhm, I mean, candy. While vampires are in the spotlight with the popularity of the Twilight series, Zombies have been the cult favorite for years now. Starz explores the evolution of the movie zombie - from early films to its present role as a pop culture icon.
Starz Inside: Zombiemania (premiering Tuesday, October 13 at 10:00 p.m. on Starz) is a fun look at the Zombie craze around the world. Featuring clips from a vast library of Zombie films and Zombie experts, including the “grandfather of Zombie films” George A. Romero and best-selling author Max Brooks. The documentary traces the evolution of the Zombie from its roots in African folklore and Haitian Voodoo to its current role as pop culture icon.

FYI - Starz Inside is an original series that takes viewers behind the people, cultures and trends of movie-making hosted by film critic Richard Roeper, who was co-host of “Ebert & Roeper” for eight years. The next Starz Inside special is Starz Inside: Sex and the Cinema (Tuesday, November 10 at 10:00 p.m.).

| Vampires are the new zombies who were the new vampires. People who think Twilight is a good vampire series are egregiously underexposed. LISTMANIA! [url]http://www.amazon.com/Great-Moments-in-Exsanguination/lm/R3VK4NYG1TOFYF/ref=cm_lm_byauthor_title_full[/url] | |

| i enjoy a good zombie film :) and it is true.. there are alot of zombie films out and i do think it's good but also agree that vampires are in the low count in the present.. twilight and vampire diaries are good teenage vamipre versions but bdb vampires are the modern vamp to the core!! (ok so bdb is a book series but still great vamps!!!) | |

| zombies are the new vampires | |
| i think that it could very well be the case with more and more people loving zombies but for me i love vampires and hate the fact that there have ot been many new great vampire movies i think that vampires have been modified so much these days that they have become boring they should stick with the old and maybe alittle new to keep it interesting but to change them all into blood bank creatures that walk in the day and love people takes the fun out of it. Don't get me wrong i am a twilight fan and a vampire diaries fan but we need to make more movies with that kick that alot of them have been missing since the 80's and early 90's. | |
