Night of the Living Dead - The Puppet Show - Djfunk Review

[DjfunkmasterG]

Well tonight, Sunday, here at Zombie Con the Angry Men Ltd group put on the Night of the Living Dead Puppet show. basically it is a 30 minute version of Night done with puppets made up by the group on a very minimal budget.

Billy Ray, a HPOTD member, is one of the brains behind this entertaining show, and when I say entertaining I mean whole heartedly entertaining and laugh out loud funny. In fact it was so entertaining Gary Klar and Joe Pilato sat in and enjoyed it immensely.

The group puts on a knock out stellar show that is a laugh a minute and much like Uncle George they throw in social messages throughout the show, but with a comedy twist.

This was just an enjoyable show from start to finish and was glad to have seen it live. Billy Ray and his group should be aplauded for finding a way to bring Night to scores of zombie fans and make it as entertaining as the original film but in such a way that audiences are leaving the show with a great feeling and having had a fun experience.

The audience gave Billy and company a huge applaud and I even gave them a standing ovation, not once but twice.

I highly recommend if you are in the Chicago or Milwaukee area you make sure you check this show out and guarantee you will be cheering it all the way from start to finish.

A+

Yeah, I would love to see his show. Billy Ray, if you ever make it down south here, let me know.

Sounds damned fun. A half hour run time sounds just about right, too.

Hopefully, Billy Ray and his troupe will get some mileage out of the thing and we'll see more of it.

Klar and Pilato in the crowd? Whoa....what an intimidating audience!:stunned:

Is Pilato still fat?

I'm still decompressing/processing from this weekend, (and it's Monday morning at work as I write this) so I'll keep it short.

Best weekend EVAH.

Gary & Joe - Greatest couple of guys in the world. They made US feel like the celebrities, even before they saw the show.

We did a short Q&A after, before we had to pack up everything (puppets, props, all of our lights and sound that we brought in) The Final party was set to be in the same room at 8:00. So we had a really small window in which to answer questions.

So Joe Pilato is in the audience, saying his piece, and the organisers are giving him the "wrap it up" sign. He turns and hollers right at them to Shut Up so he can keep telling us how much he dug what we did. He went Captain Rhodes on them!

Also, our entire crew now has the biggest crush on Kyra Schon.

I'll have more to say once I get some time. Prolly on the blog.

And DJ, great hangin' with you, buddy. One of the biggest highlights of a great weekend. But I gotta say you look nothing like your picture.:lol:

It was great meeting you and your team/group. The weekend was a blast and personally I can't wait to see the updated video with the extra Cletus segment we talked about at the party.

To those members in the Chicago/Milwaukee area, you guys really need to check this show out. Seriously it was the most fun I have had in a long time at a theater type show.
