Screen Shrapnel // 0800-0900 17.10.09
when man is ill, the dead shall be on the radio
Like Christmas, Halloween seems to come earlier each year, and with two weeks to go till All Saints’ Eve, cinema screens around town are echoing with the demented screams of zombies, vampires and ghosts of movies past.
But it’s not just onscreen that the dead are walking the Earth: this week Nick shuffled into the Subcity studio looking like an extra from Zombie Flesh Eaters, complete with blood-shot eyes, laboured movement and oodles of mucus. Despite the dreaded man-flu, however, he struggled on through.
This week’s releases include the bizarre (Thirst), the mysterious (Triangle), the hilarious (Zombieland) and the disheveled (The Imaginarium of Doctor Pernassus). We also discuss our ignorant socio-political theories surrounding the living-dead and choose our favourite vampire pictures.
These are the piercing sound fragments of screen shrapnel. Prepare to be underwhelmed.
