  • Alice in Zombieland SUMMARY
    Alice in Zombieland Gena Showalter Harlequin Enterprises Limited, 2012 404 pages SUMMARY: After a car crash kills her parents and younger sister, sixteen year old Alice Bell learns that her dad was right. The monsters are real. Now, Ali must learn to fight the monsters in order to stay alive. IF YOU LIKED THIS BOOK TRY… Wake, Lisa McMann Through the Zombie Glass, Gena Showalter Infinity, Sherrilyn Kenyon School Spirits, Rachel Hawkins WEBSITES: White Rabbit Chronicles, http://www.wrchronicles.com Official website of Gena Showalter, http://genashowalter.com BOOKTALK: Disclaimer: If (because of the book’s title) you are expecting a re-telling of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, you will be disappointed. However, don’t let that stop you from picking up this book. It’s a great read with a different twist on the whole Zombie concept. Yes, there are zombies in the book, but they’re not your typical zombies. Instead of being undead humans that crave human flesh, Showalter’s zombies are really infected spirits that eat the spirits of humans which then causes the humans to become infected. Not everyone can see the zombies. Sixteen year old Alice Bell doesn’t see them until after a car crash that kills her parents and younger sister. Alice moves in with her grandparents and attend a different high school. At her new school, Ali hooks up with a group of kids who turn out to be zombie slayers. Cole, the leader of the group, just happens to be the most gorgeous “bad boy” that Ali has ever seen.

  • Zombieland 106 Spring 2016
    2016 Exemplary Award Winner (ENWR106) Nicole Marquez Zombieland: A Post-Apocalyptic Nightmare or Adulthood Reality? In the film Zombieland (2009), directed by Ruben Fleischer, a young, anxious man known to the audience as Columbus – because of his hometown/ destination of Columbus, Ohio – encounters a man named Tallahassee and two sisters, Wichita and Little Rock. The group has their ups and downs and eVentually becomes what Columbus identifies as his “family”. While the film appears to be a mere zombie flick about good guys kicking zombie ass while trying to find somewhere to go in a post-apocalyptic world, Zombieland actually offers a notable look into the way that society is on a quest for a sense of simplistic innocence that perhaps is only possible to experience as children – deeming our quest pointless since aging and mortality are ineVitable. The zombie, having no regards for human life and being “hateful and Violent”, as described by Columbus, is itself a representation of what we can become as adults. We are left on our own to fend off the terrors of the real world with no direction, in recoVery of complicated parental relationships and a lost childhood. As children we create monsters out of the unknown (which is plenty when we are so young and full of blissful ignorance). As adults, we fear the monsters we know to be real. We fear the things that we’Ve already witnessed to be possibilities. Yes, we fear death and things still unknown to us as adults; howeVer, more damaging, we fear losing loVed ones, relationships or the lack of, not being loVed in return, being alone, and finding ourselVes in “Zombieland.” The film, Zombieland, reveals the way that growth into adulthood can desensitize us or inflict so much fear to the point of mental instability.

  • Screenwriters/Executive Producers Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick
    The post-apocalyptic zombie road trip comedy Zombieland (2009) centers on four survivors of a viral pandemic: Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson), Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg), Wichita (Emma Stone), and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin). After most of the world’s population has turned into zombies, surviving humans are locked in an ongoing battle against the hungry undead. The seemingly-mismatched central characters journey towards an alleged safe haven in Los Angeles, following a strict set of survival rules and zombie-killing strategies as they travel. Script to Screen is delighted to welcome screenwriters/executive producers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick for a virtual Q&A. The conversation will be moderated by Pollock Theater Director Matt Ryan. Zombieland can be streamed on Amazon Prime Video, Google Play, and iTunes. Screenwriters/Executive Producers Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick Writer-Producers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick met in high school in Phoenix, Arizona and have been creative partners since 2001. The pair wrote and executive-produced Twentieth Century Fox’s Deadpool, starring Ryan Reynolds. The 2016 superhero action-comedy remains the highest grossing R-rated movie of all time and was nominated for Best Picture (Comedy or Musical) at the Golden Globe Awards and Best Adapted Screenplay by the Writer’s Guild. Reese and Wernick subsequently co-wrote and executive-produced Deadpool 2, which became the third highest grossing R-rated movie of all time. Reese’s and Wernick’s first feature collaboration was Zombieland, which they wrote and executive- produced for Columbia Pictures in 2009. Reese and Wernick also wrote the screenplay for its sequel Zombieland: Double Tap (2019).

    Holy Horror: A Quantitative Analysis of the Use of Religion in the Yearly Top Grossing Horror Films From 2000 to 2009 Jason Wheeler Submitted to the faculty of the University Graduate School in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Arts in the Department of Communications, Liberty University May 2011 1 Acknowledgments To my Mom and Dad, thank you for all of your support, both physically and financially, throughout the process of writing this thesis. Without your help this accomplishment would not have been possible. To my brother, thank you for everything you did that allowed me to be able to accomplish this thesis. Without your help, I could never have made it. While these past two years were difficult, you brother made it easier, and that is something that will always be very special to me. I would also like to thank the rest of my family for your support throughout this process. 2 Abstract The yearly top-grossing films from 2000 to 2009 were analyzed to see if correlation exists between overt religious content and box office success. Also, the films were analyzed to see if correlation exists between overt religious content and IMDb.com user ratings. Neither box office success nor IMDb.com user ratings were found to be correlated with over religious content. 3 Table of Contents Acknowledgments…………………………………………………………………………1 Abstract……………………………………………………………………………………2 Chapter 1: Introduction……………………………………………………………………4 Chapter 2: Literature Review……………………………………………………………...7 Chapter 3: Methodology …………………………………………………………………20 Chapter 4: Study………………………………………………………………………….25 Chapter 5: Discussion……………………………………………………………………49 Bibliography.……………………………………………………………………………..53 4 Holy Horror: A Quantitative Analysis of the Use of Religion in the Yearly Top Grossing Horror Films From 2000 to 2009 Introduction The popularity of the horror genre has risen significantly over the past few decades, but opinions on what makes these films so popular is widely varied.
