‘Doc of the Dead’ and a Zombie Wedding

Have you ever officiated at a zombie wedding? Of course you haven’t. But do you know who has? Bruce Campbell! The Evil Dead star and all-round horror icon recalls his lead role at some deliberately nightmarish nuptials in a new film, Doc of the Dead. Directed by Alexandre O. Philippe (The People vs. George Lucas), the documentary tracks the rise of the zombie phenomenon and, in addition to Campbell, features contributions from Shaun of the Dead actor-writer Simon Pegg, Walking Dead makeup overlord Greg Nicotero, and George A. Romero, among others.

Doc of the Dead premieres at SXSW onMarch 10, and then screens on Epix on Saturday, March 15, as part of an all-day “Zombie-thon,” which will also boast World War Z and a Max Brooks-introduced showing of Romero’s classic Night of the Living Dead.
