The Dead Walk: Remaking a Classic1999

Tom Savini:
Because of the parodies of zombies, there were beer commercials with zombies and Michael Jackson's "Thriller", you know, how can we make these things scary AGAIN? And my approach was we have to really remind people of what death was. I didn't want to ever use the word 'zombie' in the remake, these are dead things, death is the most important thing to try and make people scared of, AGAIN. So remakes are a difficult concept.
