Featuring over 500 posters, lobby cards, pressbooks, stills, and props from zombie movies across the whole of cinema history, <em>The Art of the Zombie Movie<\/em> is an eye-popping, entertaining visual history of zombie films written by six-time Bram Stoker Award-winning author Lisa Morton. Included here is the story of the origin and global reach of the zombie feature film; special features, quotes, and interviews from key creators; a survey of such varied subgenres as Blaxploitation, sci-fi, cowboy, and comic zombie films; and a selection of foreign zombie movies from Mexico, Germany, Czechoslovakia, Japan, and other countries. With unprecedented range and detail, this comprehensive collection of zombie movie art begins in 1932 (when<em> White Zombie<\/em>, the first true entrant in the genre, was released), explores the renaissance that was launched by George Romero\u2019s <em>Night of the Living Dead<\/em>, and traces the countless variations, innovations, and reinventions that continue to ensure that the zombie genre will never truly die.<\/p>\n<p><em>Foreword by John A.
