Volume 7: The Horror of the Living Zombie

Volume Seven opens with clips from Evil Dead 2 and an interview with director Sam Raimi. Raimi talks about the 'laws to horror pictures' and then shares his thoughts on why he believes King's glowing review of the original Evil Dead resulted in the film's success. Raimi then briefly discusses his back-and-fourth homage game with Wes Craven. The segment continues with a brief commentary on Raimi's career, which was obviously still in its infancy back in 1989. The entire segment is 12 minutes in length and is one of the more enjoyable ones. Next is a short commentary and montage of clips from a variety of classic zombie movies, from White Zombie to Night of the Living Dead. The final segment is yet another look into special effects, followed by clips from several grindhouse movies. This one features interviews with effects artists David Miller and Tom Savini. Some decent behind-the-scenes effects footage is shown, but the real highlight is when they show Savini receiving the phone call giving him the green light to direct and produce a remake of Night of the Living Dead. Clips shown included Evil Dead 2, Thou Shalt Not Kill, Night of the Living Dead, White Zombie, Tombs of the Living Dead, Dead Alive, Bad Taste, Maniac, and Cannibal Ferox.
