Quote: "The best one the series must be Dawn of the Dead. Just so cool. Day of the Dead is cool too."
Night didn't just have flesh eaters, it had a little girl slaughtering her mother with a mason's trowel. (unheard of horror for those days)
Also, the fear of radiation and outer space dug deep into people's minds as well.
It is no wonder that the film became a classic.
Yes, Dawn of the Dead gave us the first exploding head from a close range shotgun blast! (very cool for that era, and way over the top)
Day of the Dead was very cool too.
I have a thing for caves
, and that old limestone mine was a perfect set for a make shift bunker.
The bats you see were real bats that were flying around down there according to the actors, and it freaked some of them out a bit.
I like the scene near the end where the zombies rip out Rhodes' guts.
Those were real animal guts, and someone accidently unplugged the refrigerator that they were stored in for the weekend.
When the mistake was discovered, the guts were rank, but they used them anyway.
Some of the faces Joe Pilato was making were from the smell he had to endure during the shot. (yes, I watch the commentary versions too)
If I had to pick one, then Day of the Dead is my favorite.
Although, the Biker scene in Dawn of the Dead is hard to beat.
Back to the game at hand...
I have the radio playing my song, and I used the old , and . keys to adjust the music volume.
That overrides the ambience adjustments too, so the user can't make the Night into Day.
I fixed a few bugs in my character scripts, and made a few tweaks like muting sounds that were happening prematurely. (dang fire decals)
I also made a little girl (Karen) out of the MP4 Clerk by scaling her down and using the same face that I used for Helen so she would resemble mom.
Of course I needed a Zombie version of her too and that is done.
The only thing left to do is to make a zombie version of Helen, random wandering zombie groan effects, and set up all the zombies to spawn.
I also have to go down the list of entities and create my list for the Credits, and then make a video for that.
The credits will take me awhile, but I should have this thing wrapped up in another couple of weeks or so if things go as planned.
Edit
I attached a picture showing the new Karen.
The zombie wasn't scary enough (top) so I modifed the eyes a bit and got it looking better (bottom).
It is the same model as Barbara, and the clerk uniform looks enough like a school uniform that I left it alone.
Changing the face did make her look more like Helen though.
