Night of the Living Dead

Tonight was our chance to see the Seattle Children's Theater production of "Night of the Living Dead", and I adored it. It was incredibly funny, in a "Plan 9 from Outer Space" way. During the radio and tv sections of the production, they dropped down a screen and projected images on it to go along with the reporter that was doing the newscast. The images were hysterical at times, like the 3 space chimps set up to coincide with the "NASA scientists" bit. Other bits of humor: Barbara's constant screaming, and just...well, everything. Even the cheesy effects were awesome, like when when the zombies pulled that thin red licorice rope our of one of the corpses and started gnawing on it, or not!yet!zombie!girl's imitation of "the exorcist", or the ending curtain call to "dead man's party", complete with "Thriller" moves.

It was a little scary, and a lot of fun. Go if you have the chance.
