Steven Shaviro's book 'The Cinematic Body' has a good chapter on Romero's zombies. B.K. Grant also has a good feminist analysis of the Romero films in his collection "The Dread of Difference," and Tony Williams provides a decent review of "Land of the Dead" in a recent issue of Rouge.

flicks? I'm interested in the political/ideological aspect as the paper is called Zombie Democracy. Also, in browsing the horror fan sites and imdb message boards, I'm quite struck by all the negative postings (ie, Joe Dante hates America, is a communist etc). Is the American horror fan the equivalent of the country music fan? He's been outright Dixie Chicked on some of these sites! Thanks for any help/thoughts anyone can offer.
cheers,
patricia
