Blood Splatter: A Guide to Cinematic Zombie Violence, Gore and Special Effects

Craig W. Chenery

4.9/5 (33641 ratings)

Description:Author Craig W. Chenery has been a fan of the zombie genre for over twenty-five years and is well versed in both cinematic and literary zombie history. He has used his reverence and knowledge of the genre to write Blood Splatter: A Guide to Cinematic Zombie Violence, Gore and Special Effects, one of the most in-depth zombie movie reference books available. Researched and written over two years, Chenery takes a different approach than other zombie movie books on the market have taken. Instead of reviewing over 300 zombie films for their plot and acting and offering personal opinions on the narrative, the author has dissected each film, highlighting every gory and bloody bite, gunshot, disembowelment and dismemberment, totaling almost 5,500 special effect shots. Each entry is time stamped and listed chronologically to allow the reader to easily find the best in zombie gore and splatter. Chenery also includes six categories of rating criteria for each movie, including zombie count, zombie death count, human death count, gore quantity and quality and zombie quality with each film rating from Very Low to Very High. Additionally there are timed entries highlighting the first zombie appearance, first zombie death and first human death. Following the reviews is a “best of” section that lists the movies that ranked Very High in each of the six categories. Digging deep into the directors, special effects artists, actors and artists who have worked in the zombie genre, Blood Splatter includes thirty-five exclusive interviews with industry and genre staples including Tom Savini (Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead 1990), Greg Nicotero (Land of the Dead, Diary of the Dead, Survival of the Dead, The Walking Dead), John Russo (Night of the Living Dead), Lloyd Kaufman (CEO of Troma Entertainment), John Vulich (Night of the Living Dead 1990, Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis, Return of the Living Dead: Rave to the Grave), Everett Burrell (Day of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead 1990), Robert Kurtzman (Army of Darkness, The Rage, Undead Or Alive), Tony Gardner (Return of the Living Dead, Thriller, Zombieland) and Toby Sells (The Crazies, Zombieland, The Walking Dead). Going beyond the standard “what is your favorite/worst (insert the option)?” type questions, Chenery uncovers the backstory to not only some of the biggest films in the zombie genre, but also many beloved cult classics and everything in between. The interviewees offer pages of insightful and often hilarious anecdotes, stories and makeup tips.To complement the gore reviews and interviews, Blood Splatter contains over 320 rare and never before published behind the scenes photographs and production sketches. These high resolution images include candid production shots showing zombie and character makeup, prop and animatronic tests, film sets and storyboards that provide the reader with a rare look at how zombie movies come together. The final chapter documents Chenery’s once in a lifetime experience of going under the makeup brush to be made into a screen quality zombie by one of Hollywood’s leading makeup FX artists, Toby Sells, special effects artist on Zombieland, The Crazies and AMC’s smash hit The Walking Dead. In a rare opportunity, Chenery has been able to document and photograph the entire process from life casting to application. Generally makeup of this impressive quality is reserved for high budget film sets which have non-disclosure agreements that limit the amount of information that can be leaked. Chenery reviews the materials and the techniques used to apply a head to toe prosthetic makeup and the rarely discussed psychological elements associated with character makeup.The zombie genre is currently experiencing its largest surge of popularity to date. With the major success of The Walking Dead and box office hits like Zombieland and the Resident Evil saga, the timing is perfect to release Blood Splatter.Blood Splatter is a must have for any zombie, horror or special effects enthusiast and is guaranteed to whet the appetite of the most ardent gore fan.
