On my way to catch a train from DC to New York at 3 in the morning, I had an unwelcome setback as Johnny Law guided me, the lone car on the bypass, off to the shoulder with his traditional blue-and-reds dancing in my rearview. Upon arrival in the Big Apple, I snagged breakfast at an enticing diner that served freshly brewed Columbian engine oil, two cups of which I desperately chugged to gain some sense of alertness.

There was a time when horror fans had to wait what seemed like eternities for George A. Romero to trot out his legion of ever-evolving, human-flesh-devouring zombies again. Heck, after 1985’s splatterific (and only recently revered) DAY OF THE DEAD, they had to wring their undead-deprived hands for two decades until, in 2005, Hollywood eventually helped the celebrated filmmaker bring his bigger-budgeted LAND OF THE DEAD to light.

We’ve tracked down some of the tormented boys and girls who suffered those awful night terrors to tap their memories of that infamous street—in waking life and in terrifying dreamscapes…
“Since I made my first short film, I thought that I could make my first feature. So as soon as they called me to direct THE NEW DAUGHTER, I felt I was ready,” says Luis Berdejo, who did indeed make his debut foray into full-length filmmaking with the Kevin Costner-starrer.
