The Dead Walk: Remaking a Classic1999

Tom Savini:
I was a combat photographer in Vietnam, I was seeing horrible stuff through my camera lens and the camera lens to me was a separation between me and this horribly anatomically correct gore I was seeing, real stuff. I had to click off my emotions in Vietnam as a combat photographer and not go nuts. Well when I came back, those emotions were still turned off, I *was* a zombie, coming back from Vietnam I was an emotionless person walking around, seeing that stuff affected how I was to create makeup effects from that point on. To me, if the stuff I created didn't give me the same feeling I got from seeing the real stuff in Vietnam it wasn't real enough to me.
