There’re rumors of a Beatles movie being made where they’re re-imagined as zombies. I was somewhat intrigued until I found out the entire concept of the book. They sound more like vampires than zombies. But maybe they’re treating them like traditional “ghouls”. Anyway, I did my take on the Beatles as zombies with “She Said She Said” one of my favorites Beatles songs.
It was fun to do, but these things always take longer than you expect, even amateur stuff like this. Vampires and zombies are very popular now with the “Twilight” craze and “True Blood”. Hell, even “Underworld” has had two sequels. Now ABC is getting into the act with “The Gates”. The thing that I don’t like about the new vampire thing is that they’re basically romances. I like the old monsters where they weren’t falling in love all the time. I’m also not feeling those werewolves from “Twilight” and “The Gates”. Werewolves are suppose to have some kind of human features to them. I guess this started with “American Werewolf in London”. That movie still holds up after all these years, but I think it was the first werewolf movie where the person changing into a werewolf ends up looking like a giant mean dog. The Twilight werewolves look fluffy and pretty and nice. Haven’t seen the “Wolfman” with Benicio, but I hear they missed the boat on it. At least they tried to do the old school werewolf, but maybe that’s why it failed. Whatever.
When it comes to Beatles and zombies this clever trailer for “A Hard Days Night of the Living Dead” is an entertaining piece.
A group called the Zombeatles have been getting mad hits on YouTube with their Zombie Beatles tribute band.
