    George A. Romero, cult films, and the Time Warp

    by W. Andrew Powell May 19, 2020
    by W. Andrew Powell May 19, 2020

    It’s hard to overstate what George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead did for horror. He was ahead of his time. The films helped set a style, tone, and visual language for what we imagine when we think of zombies, and he also used the films to talk about social issues.

    ‘Night of the Living Dead Live’ bursts from the grave in Toronto

    by W. Andrew Powell March 22, 2013
    by W. Andrew Powell March 22, 2013

    In 1968, director George A. Romero, the “Godfather of Zombies”, brought a new kind of monster to the realm of horror. The zombies, or ghouls, in Night of the Living Dead, were fresh–or as fresh as dead bodies can get–and his film helped spawn a whole new genre of horror; the splatter film.

    Movies, music and zombies taking over Yonge & Dundas Square

    by W. Andrew Powell September 10, 2009
    by W. Andrew Powell September 10, 2009

    This is pretty much it. Take a deep breath and dive in, because for the next ten days the city of Toronto is going to be filled with wonderful mayhem.

    If you’re not tripping over red carpets, or lineups for some of the 273 feature-length films, you’ll probably see a crazy festival-goer running from one event to another, or perhaps even an international celebrity on their way to one of said events.

    by W. Andrew Powell May 21, 2008
    by W. Andrew Powell May 21, 2008

    American history gets the adventure treatments once again in the often dizzyingly surreal National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets launches Ben Gates into another search for lost treasure as he also tries to clear his ancestor’s name from the plot to kill President Lincoln. Also arriving this week is the zombie-driven horror Diary of the Dead, futuristic anime in Vexille, the 80s hit comedy Short Circuit, and the first season of 24.
