Zombi in New York
I. Zombi is a documentary about Hayden Milligan who hosts Kentucky based cable horror show, The Witching Hour and a celebration of the man behind the make-up.
As a child, he was caught in a house fire and severely burned and he still bears the scars of this today. But he’s persevered and today, as part of the Horror Host Underground, he is striving to resurrect the TV genre of hosted horror shows – a genre that in recent years has lost out to the much cheaper alternative of “informercials.”
Not only does the film show how he has triumphed over tragedy, but it also shows how he and his fellow hosts are trying to keep a quirky part of their culture alive in an increasingly homogenised world.
And now the film is about to enjoy its New York premiere at the Two Boots Pioneer Theatre on October 7th. Click here to buy your tickets.
