Go Weird

Ha ha ha... this one's really cute :D .I remember when the first time in my life I watched a zombie movie (called 'Night of the living dead') ,for almost an hour,I was walking around in my house,acting like one of those zombies in the movie.I loved those zombie postures so much, I immediately added it to my 'crazy wish-list' to play that part in some kick-ass zombie-fest someday.

Come to think of it.Wouldn't it be so cool, scaring people with your weirdest walks and growls? I for one,would wear the quintessential zombie make up n dress and would assume that perfect 'Night Of The Living Dead' zombie posture which typically has a sloping shoulder line (one shoulder way up and other way down),one leg twisted in an abnormal angle (as much as a normal hip joint would permit ) and the other suspended loose in an attempt to make it look crippled,a walk that looks like a snail speed drag with a few sudden jerks thrown here n there,neck bent on the side of your drooping shoulder,one hand rather firm,held close to the body and the other stretched out trying to grab your victim,while making that loud grrhhh grrhhh sound :). But what use is a zombie without those million dollar facial expression? Mouth agape,staring big dark wicked eyes and face contorted to the highest grade of awkwardness and finally when that damsel hits you across your face with a religious symbol,usually a cross,you spin half a circle,let out a harsh scream,crash on the ground and lie motionless..Phew.

It's definitely not easy to play a zombie on screen.You really have to get into the skin of your character and really believe that you are that deformed, demented, ugly creature,otherwise you would never be able to make it look real on screen.You have to make sure your audience gasps and holds that breath in their chest as long as you are on screen.But perhaps,the most difficult part that needs a great deal of practice here, is to be able to control that irresistible laughter when you know you are looking your dumbest in front of the entire camera crew.You see it's not easy to do it..That's why I love you Zombie darlings.You are the best ! :D
