In the mid 1920’s, cinematographer Claude Friese-Greene travelled around the UK with his (at the time) high tech colour film camera to create a famous series of films called The Open Road, subsequently restored and circulated by the BFI.
Last year, filmmaker Simon Smith retraced Friese-Greene’s journey through London, mimicking the timing, angles and location of the original sequences shot for shot.
If you’re at all familiar with London, the side by side comparison above is somewhat awesome.
An identification chart for the undead in the appropriately visceral style of a vintage medical illustration, successfully Kickstarter’d by Jason B. Thompson, who sez:
How many different forms of undead and not-really-undead have gone by the zombie name?

Headshot zombies, living zombies or writhing-severed-limbs zombies? Crazed, unreasonable people who are alive but act ‘zombie-like’? Voodoo zombies, cannibal zombies or rotting Etruscan curse zombies?
Full sized version here.

A groundbreakingly dark 1973 public information film narrated by the late, great Donald Pleasence which – depending on your vintage – will either amuse you, chill you or occasion a powerful wave of nostalgia for Saturday morning children’s programmes on BBC.
