A raw crop of campy zombi ads are cropping up on Broadway , promotingEvil Dead : The Musical . While the bill poster are all very ingenious , their comportment only unwrap what I ’ve long fear : the Disneyification of our beloved brain - eating zombie . These cute version of the undead are everywhere nowadays , and getting campier by the minute . Click though to see the slow decomposition of zombies , from funny version of the keep dead to the Broadway soft - shoe undead .
It used to be that the only time you were vex by over - avid silly zombie was on Halloween during the annual Thriller resurgence . Maybe it was Shaun of The Dead that opened the door for the last four - year craze of the undead on stage . I blame Shaun ’s good humor and marvellous writing of real character that take into account other people to regard zombies ( more recently in a fun and favorable path ) .
But instead of making a good zombi comedy or another lovely gory zombie classic ( such as the 2002 unexampled furore spin 28 Days Later ) filmmakers unleash a string of so - so clique or precarious handy River Cam gimicky undead flicks , each one sad than the next . Fido , Planet Terror , Zombie Strippers were all neat , but their undead hordes leaned harder and firmly on the crutch of encampment to get through each take .
We need to be onwards - thinking with our precious zombi good , people . And what has this campification and blatant misuse of zombies brought us ? The Broadway zombie . I have sex Bruce Campbell and would n’t mind seeing him singing and bump off on stage , but unfortunately he ’s not in it . And the Bruce - substitute is surround by happy dance undead . Pass . Also hap on Re - Animator : The melodic , Zombie Prom and Z : A Zombie Musical .
Our last hope for a zombie attack we can take seriously is the forthcoming World War Z movie — which is really a post - zombie narrative , since it takes place after the zombie state of war .
