Whenever I see one of these zombie reference books there is one movie in particular I check for as a test of how extensive the research behind it went.
The movie…
…Weekend at Bernie’s II.
Often overlooked as an entry in the zombie genre, but why? Unlike Bernie’s part one in which two morons pretend their boss is still alive so they can party at his beach house, part two involves real Voodoo, giving Bernie’s resurrection some serious legitimacy.
Good job Peter for not only covering this film in your book, but also featuring a full page photograph.
Matt D has been a manager, buyer and event coordinator at Forbidden Planet since 2005 or maybe it was 2006. Who can remember? We didn't even have computers back then. A native New Yorker from the borough of Queens, raised on Sunday Funnies, Monster Movies and Rock N' Roll. What better place to end up than Forbidden Planet where he can use his position to influence the city's pop culture. A responsibility he takes seriously more now than ever due to New York's consistent change for the worse. The last thing NYC needs is another cafe or bank so thank whatever it is you believe in that Forbidden Planet is here to stay. Beyond the walls of FP, Matt is a publicly recognized expert in cult and horror cinema with a focus on VHS. He is the founder of Horror Boobs a collective that books screenings and distributes weirdo films, the producer of the documentary Adjust Your Tracking: The Untold Story of the VHS collector, the publisher of the Blood Video zine, and is regrettably responsible for resurrecting the career of schizophrenic Shot-on Video director Carl J Sukenick.
