Clara Isaksson, the wonderful super-intern for Undead in the Night at Lilith Performance Studio made Godnatt Ivar as her first stop-motion film in school. It’s excellent, and has a horror theme!

1. De ska skrämmas i skogen by Yvonne Erlandsson in Skånskan.se / Nöje. If you don’t read Swedish you can enjoy the great photos by Lars-Erik Gille!

2. Blodsugare i skånska skogar by Johanna Forsberg in EfterArbetet.

3. Döden lever sitt eget liv by Ingrid Stigsdotter at Sydsvenskan.se.

4. Vad är det som finns i skogen? by Ann Heberlein at Sydsvenskan.se.

Linnea Henriksson, Mari Tveito, and Angelina Lundh previewed their Undead in the Night soundtrack composition for us last night - it is incredible! This soundtrack accompanies the audience’s drive in a mini-bus to the woods. All I will say about it is this: if I were in a bus listening to this soundtrack while being deposited in the woods for a living horror film, you could not pay me enough to get out. Scary!

Ulf Kristiansson wrote an article called Livs levande döda for the Helsingborgs Dagblad newspaper. It includes great photos by Sven-Erik Svensson. Check it out!

Yesterday I mentioned Amanda Apocalypse: a self-professed “zombie nerd” who stars as one of the zombies in Undead in the Night.

Today, after her stellar performance for the media conference, she is the Malmö Lund City Paper cover girl! Judging from the published photos which entirely ignore the stunning vampires who lurked around the press, “zombies” are the sexier creature these days, at least for the author who erroneously conflated my definitions of vampire and zombie - a difficult mistake to make.

The full article from SVT, Zombievandring i mörkret is online! The TV spot features my ever-frightening vampiric and zombified friends Märta and Clara (V’s), Tom and Amanda (Z’s). Notice Tom’s vacant hungry stare, you wouldn’t want to meet him alone in the dark forest…

Check out this great online Zombie comic by Amanda C (aka Apocalypse Amanda), who when she’s not drawing ghouls stars as a Swedish zombie extraordinaire in my upcoming performance Undead in the Night.

Especially note the exposed guts of Santa zombie who clutches our heroine’s highlighted hair. It’s a lot less scary if you can’t read Swedish…

At the top of a list of notes about the zombie film I want to make one day is this sentence, “film from the zombie’s point of view” which as far as I know was not done before at any length - until now. Enter Colin, a new British horror flick that does just that. My friend Ellen Pearlman was the bearer of bad news.

From the press release:
“Our hero Colin is bitten by a Zombie; he dies and returns from the dead. We
follow him as he wanders through suburbia during the throes of a cadaverous
apocalypse.”

Mark Price who wrote and directed Colin, claims on CNN the film cost $70 to make through Nowhere Fast Productions, his own outfit. That seems highly unlikely and more of a publicity quote than anything. According to CNN, American and Japanese distributors at Cannes are vying for the prize - look for it soon!

The battle scene or us vs. them. In this case, it’s a question of who is who:

In case you thought this performance wouldn’t be scary…here are just two photos featuring vampire Emma and victims Mathias and Mikael, all non-professional and amazing actors. (Photos by Petter Pettersson…press quality available at Lilith’s website).

…we’ll see you in the forest after dark…

Undead in the Night sold out in only a few days, wow ~

Not wanting to give anything away, I will post photos of the actors in full makeup after the performance is over … but here is a tiny taste of what we’ve been up to this week at Lilith Performance Studio …
