AMC Visionaries : Eli Roth's History of Horror - Zombies (2018)

Made for AMC , airing October 14th in the US.
Season 1. Episode 1.
The story : Right now is the time of the zombies.
Today zombie movies and TV shows are everywhere , but that wasn't always the case.
There has been about four decades of zombie movies and since then the AMC TV show 'The Walking Dead' has become one of the most popular.
Movie directors Eli Roth ('Cabin Fever' (2002), Greg Nicotero ('The Walking Dead' (2012 - 2018) and Rob Zombie ('House of 1,000 Corpses' (2003) are together to talk shop on zombie films.
George Romero's 'Night of the Living Dead' (1968) is the one containing the main template of zombie rules for all the zombie movies which followed. 
There were many zombie movies before 'Night of the Living Dead' because zombies have always been reinvented.
'White Zombie' (1932) , 'I Walked With A Zombie' (1943) and of course the ultimate early zombie film , 'Frankenstein' (1931) to name a few.
In the 80s we seen no shortage of zombies.
From Michael Jackson's music video for his hit song 'Thriller' (1983) , directed by John Landis to Umberto Lenzi's 'Nightmare City' (1980).
In the 90s , many people were influenced and inspired by the zombie-ridden video game Resident Evil , which also became a movie in 2001.
By the 2000s , we were seeing zombies in comedy , as well as zombies who picked up the pace.
