RIP French Writer/Director Jean Rollin

We just learned about the passing of French writer/director Jean Rollin, after a long illness, at the age of 72. Rollin was known as a great director in the horror genre, most widely known for his vampire films, but he was also an accomplished producer and actor also. Readers of the ZRC might know him as the writer and director of the great 1978 French zombie film Les Raisins de la Mort (aka The Grapes of Death, Pesticide), and director of the not so great Le Lac des Morts Vivants (akak Zombie Lake, The Lake of the Living Dead). Our condolences go out to his family and friends.

This is odd:

“A man known as the “Zombie Bandit,” suspected of robbing banks…was sentenced to more than 17 years in federal prison Tuesday for a string of heists. Authorities said Hurwitz (the “Zombie Bandit” -ed.)…earned his nickname for his mumbling and blank demeanor…”

US National Film Archive Is Thrilled By Zombies

_47014821_thriller466

Michael Jackson’s zombie infested Thriller video, along with 24 other films, will be added to the US National Film Archive this year. The films were picked by the National Film Preservation Board and by members of the public and their nominations. Films were picked for their “national significance”. George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead should of been the first zombie film included, but Thriller made it on it’s merits of pushing “the development of the music video”. Read the full BBC article here.

Zombies Protest at Sundance!

Utah’s Deseret News reported today that members of the Animal Defense League of Salt Lake City protested at Sundance today, dressed as zombies. They were there protesting the wearing of fur. Organizer Jordan Halliday explained “…we chose Sundance to educate” because it “is known for its fur-bearing attendees”. “We understand that some fur wearers don’t realize the destruction their garment may have caused.” It seems like using zombies is becoming a popular choice for protests and demonstrations these days because of their attention grabbing visuals and their ability to fit into many different arguments (toxic TV waste, “Buy Nothing Day”, wearing fur, environmental awareness and so on). On a side note, Sundance is showing Dead Snow!
