Night Of The Living Dead: Live From Wisconsin?!?!?!

Yeah, from Wisconsin and it was fun to watch!

If any of you have ever seen American Movie you are familiar with Mark Borchardt and Mike Schank. American Movie is a documentary on Mark and his faithful best friend Mike. It documents the making of "Northwestern" and when that falls apart the making of his movie "Coven". It is a fun watch if you can find it and better if you love documentaries and even better STILL if you are a filmmaker!

Mark is a fellow filmmaker from Wisconsin and has enjoyed some success since the documentary was released in 1999 I think. He has been in several movies and is currently working on a project called Scare Me. I am unsure what that project is or what it is about but you can bet that it will be funny but probably not scary.

Well last night the G4 network ran Night of the Living Dead, interspersed with the movie were comments from George Romero, commentary from Mark and Mike (Yeah I hope you Iowa readers get the irony), a live horror movie, live auditions, fan voting, and re-enactments from the movie. All of that was a blast!!!!

They did it all from their front lawn and had people from all over the neighborhood show up dressed as zombies. They had a cast member and long time friend Kenny cooking brats, and clips from Mark and Mike buying zombie hunting weapons at a local store. This presentation had nearly everything a horror fan could want and it was all just a party to watch!

I hope they do this every year and I really hope to hear more from Mark and Mike in their future endeavors!
