Zombie Movies

Well it’s the interview you all have been waiting for! We had the great pleasure to sit down with the writer, producer and director of the upcoming feature length zombie movie, Bong of the Dead, Thomas Newman and the following are his answers.

For those that don’t already know, Bong of the Dead is a creation of the warped mind of Thomas Newman. The blood and gore was put to full effect with the FX guru Mike Fields who is a veteran of every major gore and horror movie of note as of late.

Bong Of The Dead is a comical road adventure about two close friends who find a way to make the best of a mass zombie outbreak caused by meteorites from outer space. Tommy and Edwin are a pair of major stoners who one day discover a way of using zombie brains as a means of growing potent pot. Now that the world is abandoned and there are flesh eating monsters at every turn what more can one do except find a way to benefit from it. The boys manage to deplete their supply of weed and decide to take a road trip in search of more zombies in order to kill them and use their brains for fertilizer. Along the way they find themselves hostages to a psychotic zombie who has an evil plot to take over the world.

In the upcoming zombie movie Bong of the Dead by writer, producer and director Thomas Newman, comedian and actor Jy Harris plays the character Tommy. The following is an interview with Jy Harris about his involvement in the zombie movie Bong of the Dead.

1) Q. What attracted you to BONG OF THE DEAD?
The chance to work with Thomas Newman! I’ve seen his short films and I knew that he was on the right track to something big and I wanted to be a part of that.

2) Q. What was it like being Directed by Thomas Newman?
Easily one of the more easy going directors out there. Was able to compartmentalize all the stress and fatigue that must run rampant while directing a feature film. He is like a Persian Mel Gibson!

3) Q. What was it like working with your co-stars Mark Wynn & Simone Bailly?
Mark Sweatman: An intense, methodic actor, Mark’s energy was so infectious, I almost bought a biohazard suit. Simone Bailly: This beauty unleashed her beast within, and it was a glory to behold!

4) Q. Why do you think you were perfect for the role of TOMMY?
Well I think that Tommy and I are a lot alike in real life. And I don’t think he was able to get Johnny Depp like he wanted so I was next on his list.

5) Q. What was your favorite scene that you were involved in?
One of my favorite scenes was the major battle sequence where I got to really show my stuff! My character goes from being a major pot head to this heroic, cool figure with blades on his arms. Move aside Wolverine!

The upcoming comedy zombie movie Bong of the Dead is a movie I had the great pleasure to work on. I was a bit of do everything for the production including things as mundane as moving around lights and cables during the shoot to being a full-on raging zombie eating the living for fun and giggles.

The movie is a production of writer, producer and director Thomas Newman. No not THAT Thomas Newman, but Thomas Newman the horror film guy. This Thomas Newman is a Canadian working his butt off to do everything that a 30 person crew would do. The movie was shot on a small budget but from the finished scenes I have had the luck to view – it has a multi-million dollar look. This guy is going places!

Even though we never wish to get frightened, we all we all do love watching horror movies. Zombie movies are what viewers appreciate highly. They have all the ingredients that can make a viewer’s bone tickle. The sight of blood and rotten flesh is what you will find common in such genre of movies. A figure, which looks like a dead body and moves with great difficulty with a speed like that of a turtle, is how you will find a Zombie. These creatures are all the time looking for human flesh to eat and have specific words that they utter continuously after every few minutes. At one look, it seems that these zombies do not have a mind of their own. These imaginative figures have attracted people from all over the world.

The Zombie production became widely popular in 1968 after the release of the movie titled Night of the Living Dead. This was just the beginning of the popularity of this production and since then, it never looked back.

The zombie movie culture has been in existence since 1938. White Zombie Production was the first to release a movie of this genre and it was given the name, Dead Men Working in the Cane Field. It was based on a novel written by W. E. Seabrooks. This movie was to be released in the year 1934, but took a lot of time and finally got released 4 years later. The first zombie movie was produced and directed by the two brothers, Victor and Edward Halperin.

Who does not love watching a horror movie with a lot of dead characters moving from one place to another at the pace of a turtle? I surely love that sight. It not only gives you chills, but also can add the one thing that such movie needs: SCARY. White Zombie Productions were the first ones to come out with first of such movies and they were well-received by the movie-going public at large. Fans could not get enough of the zombie horror movie.

Since the release of ‘Dead Man Working in the Cane Field’, the production has never looked back. There has been a huge count of movies, which became a part of Zombie movie history, but few of them entered records for becoming the top grossed movies in such genre. Here are few of such zombie movies.
