Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Terror

So the full title is Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Alien, Flesh Eating, Hellbound, Zombified Living Dead and is a particularly hard to get title.

The reason for this, is it's extremely low budget, made by one chappy and is more than a little obscure.

You ever noticed how Night Of The Living Dead seems to be on the TV in so many movies and TV shows? Thats because it's not copyrighted and therefore it's public domain, anyone can use it in their material without paying the creators (George Romero).

This is just the movie with it's audio wiped clean and some guy doing his own audio complete with sound effects and music. This could have been funny, much like some comedy dubs you can find on Youtube but sadly this was made by someone with a childish purile and intellectually limited sense of humour.

With the occasional intermissions which make absolutely no sense this is like presenting the Mona Lisa.................covered in monkey dung.

Embarrassing, cringe inducing, not a laugh to be had and an insult to Romero's work.

The Good:

Its the Night Of The Living Dead

The Bad:

All the new audio is embarrassingly bad

The intermissions are unfunny and pointless

Things I learnt from this movie:

Someone needs to copyright Night Of The Living Dead so hacks like this can't butcher it anymore

I sought this "film" out based on rave reviews by alleged aficionados of B-Movie overdubs, who compared it to Woody Allen's (1965) What's Up Tigerlily?, and the marvelous sendoffs of Comedy Channel's Mystery Science Theater 3000. That it was a parody of one of the most effective horror movies of all time only reinforced my curiosity that it might be a truly amusing outing into the deeply absurd. What one gets, instead, is a completely crass attempt at movie parody by a bunch of hacks who consider endless "poo-poo humor" and fart jokes to be the absolute end-all in belly laughs. This pathetically crude attempt at mimicry is compounded by guys overdubbing the voices of the female roles, that come off sounding exactly like. well, guys overdubbing high-pitched female voices. One could just as easily have convened a completely random assembly of 12-year old Jr. High School kids to script and perform a much better parody.

At this point in time, it is very reassuring that the art of foley sound overdubs is still alive and well in the form of true masters like Buzz Moran's marvelous "Foleyvision" troop operating out of Austin, TX.

Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Alien, Flesh Eating, Hellbound, Zombified Living Dead Part 2: In Shocking 2-D...geez, what a title. This is absolutely bizarre. That's all I have to say about this. George Romero's masterpiece of zombie horror, Night of the Living Dead, has never been seen quite like this. The filmmaker (if you can call him that) here has taken Romero's vision, wiped the soundtrack out, and re-dubbed the entire movie by himself...sound effects and all. But then, at random intervals, strange footage, songs, and jokes about former presidents and historical figures are placed in and I became completely stupefied. Some of the jokes work and some don't but it's still worth watching just to brag that you've seen it. As I understand it, this is one of the rarest videos ever. Good luck with the hunt.

Woody Allen's first project was "What's Up Tiger Lily," where he took a complex Japanese James Bond-like movie and added his own dub about a recipe for egg salad.

It didn't quite work, at least it seems that way today. But it did show some cleverness and a burgeoning understanding of film. At that time he was already hanging out with Godard and Balaban. But part of what made the thing work was that the movie was already a translation of sorts: it took the overly familiar Bond formula and made a completely nonsensical version. It is as funny as "Team America" even before Woody got to it.

So the deal was that Woody's project was satirizing the familiar by satirizing an (unintended) satire. That's worth checking into.

This on the other hand overlays a new dialog on a film that (by dumb luck it seems) spawned a whole new genre. It is exceedingly spare where the Japanese Bond was incredibly complex. So instead of watching two or three movies at the same time (a la "Timecode") we just watch one, the one consisting of fourth grade jokes.

Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.

i actually own this movie, and it is the funniest thing i have ever seen! it is kind of long, and monotonous towards the end, but Lowell Mason is hilarious throughout the entire movie. This movie was so popular at my high school, people were trying to rent it all the time. i know that in massachusetts a particular movie rental store has it....its definitely worth watching if you want a good laugh!
