Tombstone 14 (Kim Paffenroth, Gospel of the Living Dead) (Part 2)

Welcome...to the graveyard.

Hello, and welcome to the second of my three-part interview with Kim Paffenroth, author of the book Gospel of the Living Dead. The book analyzes Romero's films Night, Dawn, Day, and Land of the Dead.

In this podcast we will discuss the films Night and Dawn of the Dead, and the themes presented in those two films such as:

* Why the characters in Night are not very likable.

* Why Ben could never be a hero in Night.

* How the posse in both films feel more like a lynch mob Vs. a force of good.

* How zombies can only represent the sin of gluttony (not just because of the obvious!).

* How the costumes in Dawn reflect the characters.

* Why the characters in Dawn are "empty" living in a mall full of stuff.

* The parallel between the zombies in Dawn and the Damned in Dante's Inferno.

and much more!

And as you exit the graveyard I would like to remind you to please...lock the gate behind you...we wouldn't want anyone to get out.

Until next time...
