In recent years, zombies in popular culture have become an unstoppable (if sometimes slow-moving) force. Longtime Everett Herald film critic, Scarecrow Video historian, and zombie book author Robert Horton, tracks the history of zombie movies. His talk tracks the ways that zombie films have come in waves, from an early fascination with voodoo stories (I Walked with a Zombie, 1942) to George Romero’s films with zombies as reflections of American society (Night of the Living Dead, 1968) to spoofs of the genre itself (Shaun of the Dead, 2004). Robert leads this conversation, illustrated with (not overly gross) film clips.
