Getting Infected By Zombie T-Shirts
What a very exciting time to be alive if you love the dead. That may not have come out right, but it's still very true. The great thing about the world of zombies is that the more excited people get and the more widespread the audience, the more content will be produced. That means comic books, zombie t-shirts, literature, television shows, and movies will all be featuring our new favorite undead. Move over sparkling vampires, because a new monster is in town.
The popularity of zombies started in 1968 with an independent film called, "Night of the Living Dead." this film was so low budget that it was shot in black and white and they used chocolate syrup for the blood effects. The film was also the very first movie to ever star a black actor in a leading, heroic role. The director, George Romero, wanted to show that when society broke down, it didn't matter what color your skin was anymore. People were either living, or undead. It wasn't long before the first "Night of the Living Dead" zombie t-shirts started showing up.
Romero's take on such a previously underused horror genre continued well into the 80's. This expanded his career to the point where anyone who thinks or says the word "zombie", Romero's work is immediately summoned to mind. Many others attempted to create their own spin on the this horror genre, but they always came up short to the master. It was the immense popularity of these films amongst young film fans that laid the base for zombies to break into the mainstream later. It wasn't long before being seen in Romero zombie t-shirts started being cool instead of creepy.
In 2004 zombie films got its resurrection jolt from a young director named Zack Snyder. Snyder had not yet developed his sensory-overload style of film making just yet as seen in his blockbuster "300", but he definitely knew how to make a movie that reached out and grabbed your attention when he remade the cult classic "Dawn Of The Dead." The movie made many purists angry because it featured zombies that were aggressively fast on their feet, but I am willing to forgive him. Regardless of that, it created a million new fans of the zombie genre and thousands of people who wanted zombie t-shirts.
Zombies are now even more popular than they ever were, thanks to authors Max Brooks and Robert Kirkman. Both of these men have taken the Romero zombie torch and ran with it. They have seen heaps of success with their written works, and will be seeing even more now that "World War Z" and "The Walking Dead" are on film respectively. Since I've loved zombie since before anyone even knew what they were, I am extremely excited to see all of this amazing new content out there for me to absorb. You can also rest assured that I will have zombie t-shirts dedicated to both of these films before you can say "Zombie are cool."
