Completely revised, expanded & updated, The Dead Walk is a
highly informative and entertaining study of the diverse zombie
film phenomenon. Included are a visual feast of wide-ranging and
often shocking films - from the monochrome epics of the 1930's
& 1940's, the science-fiction orientated zombie films of the
1950's, the graphic splatter films & so-called "video nasties"
of the 1980's before coming bang up to date to reflect the
re-emergence of the zombie genre again, only now racing rather than
shuffling towards box office domination anew. The Dead Walk
provides a fascinating insight into films from across the globe as
well as devoting proper attention to individual filmmakers such as
George A. Romero & Lucio Fulci who have made the zombie genre
their own. As well as detailing the historical origins of zombie
lore rooted within Haitian voodoo rites, films as diverse as Sam
Raimi's The Evil Dead series to Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork
Orange are featured, together with a separate chap
