Inspired by the increasing popularity of zombie movies and television shows, men, women, and children across the globe use gruesome makeup and costumes to become a rotting mass of zombies staggering through city streets. Featuring interviews with Norman Reedus, Academy Award®-winning makeup artist, and director Tom Savini—who provides new insights into his collaboration with the godfather of zombie cinema, George Romero — Dead Meat Walking is a fun and riveting documentary that offers a unique focus into the extraordinary and ghoulish pastime that has devoured the imaginations of zombie fans.
