    Night of the Living Dead: Reanimated trailer

    Beware the beast, man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him, drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.

    What, what?

    This looks fun! Can't wait to check out the you tube vid when I get home.

    Thanks for the share, Eyebiter!

    Not a big fan of the different styles of animation, but it looks like it could be fun...

    looks kind of trippy. i'm not sure if the animation style is something that i'll end up liking but i'll certainly give it a look.

    Looks quite cool in the trailer, but I think an hour-and-a-half of different seizure-inducing animations would drive me crazy.

    ha, interesting at the end there, there were some toys used in a somewhat Adam & Joe Show way - indeed, back when I was 15 a friend and I made a soft-toy version of Night of the Living Dead with a cardboard farm house and various bits and pieces lying around my bedroom.

    I then did a soft-toy version (with a bit more effort exerted) of The Evil Dead.

    pretty kick-ass first post. i thought the "real world" reference at the beginning was pretty funny, but think it would have been better overall if they'd kept the original audio (even the dialogue). i realize that would be tough, given that it's a live-stage show.

    welcome the the wonderful homepage of the dorks, by the way

    Well, thanks for the warm welcome, Prof!

    Confidentially, this isn't found footage.

    This is a project my theatre/drinkin' buddies have put on, two years running.

    I was curious what the hard-core fans think.

    I've lurked a couple times in the past, but I'm generally not a 'joiner' when it comes to the Inter-tubes.

    Yeah, I sorta came to realize that if I want this little pet project to really find it's audience, I gotta go straight to the source.

    We're a puppet collective located out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin who call ourselves the Angry Young Men.

    (Even tho' we're not all that angry, not gettin' any younger, and have a few wimmins in the group)

    (Sorta misleading, I s'pose)

    Anyhow, the whole project came about when a friend working promotion for the It Came From Lake Michigan film festival told me that the organizers were looking for other activities beyond the usual film screenings & workshops. She knew that I had been diving into puppetry with some gusto, so we received an open invite to 'bring something to the party'.

    I had originally thought about doing something along the lines of Dracula (shades of Forgetting Sara Marshall, I know, but we would've done it first ), but I wanted something a bit more...visceral for the audience of B-movie fanatics that would be attending.

    I had seen the 3-D NOTLD remake at the Midnight Movie a month or so previous. It was okay, but what it made me remember was the copyright issues surrounding the original film. Anybody could do a remake of this story.

    In other words, I wouldn't get sued.

    Getting my theater cronies on board was the easy part. I would simply go to each of them, ask "Do you want to be part of a zombie puppet show?", and get a resounding "hells yeah!!" from all of them.

    I had thought about doing a straight retelling. But I have a talent for cheap laughs and the pace of the original film is awful slow in places. Fine for building a sense of dread in a horror film, not so good for a funny puppet show.

    I took a page from the Rutles. Anybody remember those guys? Monty Python sends up the Beatles. The parody went so deep into the "Story of the Beatles", it was plain that the folks making fun also loved their subject dearly. That was the approach I wanted to take, 'specially considering my audience was going to be hard-core film nuts who would know the original inside-out.

    Skipping ahead, we did the show in Oct '07, folks loved it, and everybody involved wanted to know when we were doing it again. So we did it again last Halloween at a local venue (A shout out to the good folks at Bucketworks). More good reviews.

    So I'm trying to make it a yearly thing.

    Well, thanks for the compliment, Debbieangel!

    In March we're going to begin the process of "rebuilding the cast".

    I'll try to keep 'all up to date with pictures & such as it happens.
