The Classic Film Series

The Classic Film Series highlights movies from the past, forgotten, overlooked and cherished alike, selected for their influence, relevance and worth. This edition focuses on classic zombie cinema, charting the genre's journey from the birth of horror cinema to the early 1990s, before the cultural zombie takeover of the new millennium. In a series of essays, Chris Wade explores and celebrates the earliest zombie flicks like White Zombie, Romero's game changers Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, plus other stand out entries in the zombie canon such as Zombie Flesh Eaters, Return of the Living Dead, and many lesser known, long buried gems.Chris Wade is a UK based writer, musician and filmmaker. He runs the critically acclaimed music project Dodson and Fogg, writes non-fiction and fiction books, edits Scenes Movie Magazine, and regularly makes both art films and documentaries on cinema history.
