Whether George Romero’s implacable, slow-moving monstrosities or
the fleet-footed terrors of 28 Days Later, over the last several
decades the zombie has ascended into the upper echelon of the of
the movie monster pantheon—an elite tier once reserved only for
vampires, werewolves, and Frankenstein’s monster. Featuring over
500 posters, lobby cards, pressbooks, stills, and props from zombie
movies across the whole of cinema history, The Art of the Zombie
Movie is an eye-popping, entertaining visual history of zombie
films written by six-time Bram Stoker Award-winning author Lisa
Morton. Included here is the story of the origin and global reach
of the zombie feature film; special features, quotes, and
interviews from key creators; a survey of such varied subgenres as
Blaxploitation, sci-fi, cowboy, and comic zombie films; and a
selection of foreign zombie movies from Mexico, Germany,
Czechoslovakia, Japan, and other countries. With unprecedented
range and detail, this comprehensive collection of zombie movie art
begins in 1932 (when The White Zombie, the first true entrant in
the genre, was released), explores the renaissance that was
launched by George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, and traces
the countless variations, innovations, and reinventions that
continue to ensure that the zombie genre will never truly die.
