There will be blood - Western students bring ‘Night of the Living Dead’ to the stage

Director Don Lillie has a message for those who go to see “Night of the Living Dead” at Missouri Western’s Potter Theatre.

“I would suggest that the first three rows might come dressed in things they don’t particularly care about,” he warns. “We’ll just say that Gallagher would be proud.”

Taking his advice might be wise as the zombie classic comes alive on the stage from Oct. 28 through Nov. 1. The 1968 George Romero film inspired a play that has become a popular show in theaters throughout the country. With Halloween rapidly approaching, it seems like a great time for the folks at Western to embrace their inner-zombie. Read more …

The Fourth Kind 2009 - Poster, Plot, Review, Photos and Trailer HD

The Fourth Kind is a 2009 American science fiction-horror film, starring Milla Jovovich, Charlotte Milchard, Elias Koteas, Will Patton and Mia McKenna Bruce. The title is derived from the expansion of J. Allen Hynek’s classification of close encounters with aliens, in which the fourth kind denotes alien abductions.

The film was a moderate box office success, earning over US$46 million worldwide.

The Fourth Kind 2009 Plot

In 2002, Chapman University hosts a televised interview with psychologist Dr. Abigail “Abbey” Tyler. She tells her story of a close encounter incident at Nome, Alaska in October 2000.

In August 2000, Abbey’s husband, Will Jammeson, is mysteriously murdered one night in his sleep, leaving her to raise their two children, Ashley and Ronnie. Dr. Campos, a physician from Anchorage, encourages Abbey to take some time off but she refuses, stating that Will’s research must be continued.

Abbey returns to Nome to tape hypnotherapy sessions with three different patients, all of whom have the same experience: every night they have each seen a white owl at their window staring at them. Abbey puts a patient named Tommy under hypnosis, who then begins screaming and spasms erratically. After Abbey awakens him, she asks Tommy what he saw but he refuses to answer and leaves. Later that night, Tommy holds his family at gunpoint, demanding to speak to Abbey. After a brief conversation with her, he screams “Zimbatu Eter!”, demanding to know what it is, then kills his family and himself. The local Sheriff, August, suspects that Abbey’s hypnosis is to blame.

The next morning, Dr. Campos arrives in Nome to see Abbey. He joins her for a session with another patient named Scott. While under hypnosis, Scott starts shaking, foaming at the mouth, levitating, and screaming in a barbaric, unknown language. After awakening him, Abbey suggests that Tommy and Scott were possibly victims of a Non-human kidnapping. Abbey’s secretary, who was earlier instructed to make a transcript of Abbey’s tape recorded notes from the previous night, hands her the tape and hastily leaves the room. Abbey plays the tape which starts with her talking normally, until the tape goes quiet. Abbey is heard breathing heavily then screaming hysterically and a metallic, static voice is heard speaking in the background in the strange tongue. Abbey is shocked and terrified by the recording, not recalling any of those events happening. She then returns home and finds scratch marks in the floorboards that match up with her broken fingernails. Read more …
