Flesh-Eating Action at the Aero Theatre!
Zombies never look better than when they lumber across the
big screen at the Aero & Egyptian Theatres - you won't miss a single flap of decaying
skin as they pounce and devour in all their undead glory! Classics abound with a double
feature of DEAD ALIVE and CEMETERY MAN, a double feature of Sam Raimi's EVIL
DEAD II and ARMY OF DARKNESS, Lucio Fulci's ZOMBIE and - what Zombie
Weekend would be complete without it? - George A. Romero's original zombie-v.-citizens
masterpiece, NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. Come dressed in your Zombie best!
Friday, August 20 – 7:30 PM
Double Feature: DEAD ALIVE (aka BRAINDEAD), 1992, Lionsgate, 97 min. The
poisonous bite of a Sumatran rat monkey leads to an out-of-control zombie epidemic in
Peter Jackson’s deliriously entertaining gross-out fest. It’s over-the-top gore
and slapstick recalls Sam Raimi’s EVIL DEAD movies, but its off-kilter sense of wit
and New Zealand atmosphere are pure Jackson. Trailer
CEMETERY MAN (aka DELLAMORTE
DELLAMORE), 1996, 105 min. Director Michele Soavi (THE CHURCH, STAGE FRIGHT) adapts
Tiziano Sclavi’s darkly humorous graphic novel "Dylan Dog" into this
eccentric, sumptuously photographed zombie film. Rupert Everett is Francesco Dellamorte, a
lonely, romantic caretaker who needs to keep killing the undead that stubbornly keep
rising from the graves in his cemetery. Print courtesy of the Sundance Collection at

Sunday, August 22 – 7:30 PM
Double Feature: NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, 1968, 96 min.
Director George Romero’s unqualified masterpiece pits a handful of citizens holed up
in a farmhouse against a newly revived horde of flesh-eating zombies. The cast of talented
unknowns (headed by Duane Jones) are all alarmingly believable as they fight for life,
trying to escape a bad dream that gets uncompromisingly worse and more horrifying as the
hours crawl by. Trailer
ZOMBIE, 1979, Anchor Bay Entertainment,
91 min. A zombie epidemic breaks out in the Caribbean and non-stop carnage ensues in this
classic gorefest from horror maestro Lucio Fulci. Highlights include the world's greatest
fight between a shark and a zombie! Buy
