Viewing Notes

Zombiemania talks about the history of zombies in modern culture and about why they are so popular. While I didn’t learn anything I didn’t already know it was great seeing George Romero get mad props and hearing from Tom Savini, Max Brooks, the Rue Morgue crew and others. A fun little documentary since I’m also a zombie fan.
