Different Romero-style zombies shown in "Zombie Party" music video.

Here's the "Zombie Party" music video. "Zombie Party" is a video feature we made in 1987. It is mainly a comedic spoof on the George Romero zombie films (there were three at that point). In addition to basing a lot of the jokes and business on scenes from the Romero films, we also included zombie makeup designs (to the degree that we could afford) based on zoms from the three films. The "Night" zombies were mostly pale paint. The "Dawn" zombies were noticeably gray in color,
with small generic wounds here and there. The "Day" zombies, generally the most elaborate, had bony prosthetic faces and more fanciful coloration.

An image of the Bill Hinzman zombie from "NOTLD" also appears, briefly, in a digitally-manipulated form.

When I first saw NOTLD in the 70's, the Bill Hinzman zombie just scared the living heck out of me. I'm serious! Typically, horror movies do not intimidate me, I love that stuff. But that zombie, and "NOTLD" in general...remain scary year after year. No matter how many times I see them.
