DEADPIT Interviews: Stars of Day of the Dead (Bub & Rhodes)

Jay Reel and Ray Boucher who run the TX DEADPIT Chapter had a lot of fun at the 2008 Texas Frightmare Weekend. They got some great interviews along the way including this one with the stars of George A. Romero's Day of the Dead, we have Howard 'Bub' Sherman and Joe 'Captain Rhodes' Pilato!

The 2008 remake was way too comic book and could never hold a candle to the 1985 version. Also Bub was THE best zombie ever!

Day of the Dead is my personal fave zombie film. Rhodes was such a prick, but yet I think he's cool. Bub just rocks to no end. Bub is my fave zombie of any Romero film.

I'd love to chat with Joe or Howard.

Joe Pilato is one of the greatest actors of all time really if he had the chance he might have become even more badass than chuck norris! ok i´ll admite it maybe he´s just cut off to do action stuff etc but this guy could do it! unfortunately we only got to see this in day of the death

[buubaby]

I love all of the dead movies and unfortunatly day is hard to come by but thanks to my dauhter I got a version not seen in the uk. I love both these guys an Mr pilates is so different from his character I really hated Rhodes

Sherman Howard was also the most brilliant and crazy Lex Luthor on the Superboy TV series between 1989-1992.

Such humble people and yet brilliant actors. No offence to Romero but the movies and performances we had back then are SOOO superior to the stuff we have today.

I mean, Day Of The Dead back in '85 was seen to be something of a shell to its predecessors, and yet has turned out to be one of the most dramatic and powerful horror movies I've ever seen.

On the other hand, while watching Diary Of The Dead recently, I lost interest after about 20 minutes because the acting was just so dire.

@zombiemod I agree the pie in the face scene was stupid. Yes, too many zombies going around with just blue face, but give George some slack as he only had 650k to make Dawn. For Day he had 3.5 million

But you must admit that the sense of dread and the documentary style gave the movie a more realistic effect, especially the helicopter shots where you can see hunters walking for miles shooting zombies.

[JRHulbret]

@TitaniumByFire Yeah he was a prick, and very self centered, but he was also in a severe state of trauma. He had been bit( we have no idea what a bite can do to one's mental state) and was awake for his own arm being cut off.
