JUST FOR HALLOWEEN

WWWWWaaaHhhahahahhahhehehehheeeeeeeeeee (Evil laugh)

This is “Night of the Living Bread,” my one claim to fame (at least, the only one I’m willing to publicly claim).

It’s a funny, 8-minute parody of the George Romero classic, “Night of the Living Dead,” except, here’s a clue:  it ain’t zombies that come to life and go around stalking people.  It’s … white bread!!!  how scarey is that!  What,— NO FIBER?  Nope!  None at all!  SCAREY!  And scarier still – This is NOT a low-carb movie.  Nope!  It’s 100% chock-full of carbohydrates, people.  You’ve been warned.

Anyway, this little gem is the brainchild of geniously delicious filmmaker Kevin S. O’Brien, now living comfortably in Australia with a yard full of tiny lizards that hop around when the sun starts to go down, confusing small rabbits at times and imitating rocks the rest of the time.

Me and my ex husband did the music for the film, which Mr. George Romero himself said was “wonderfully and perfectly appropriately cheesey” for the film.  That’d be the first time that I’d take “cheesey” as a compliment.

Columbia Pictures bought Night of the Living Bread, packaged it with the remake of Night of the Living Dead, sold it on DVDs and video, broadcast it on MTV and local TV stations, and showed it around the world in movie theaters.  It also won “Best of Fest” in the Hamburg Film Festival, and every fall for many years, it was featured at the Drexel Theatre in Columbus, where people would show up with lighters, toasters, which were held up in the air at appropriate moments, and garbage bags full of white bread, from which slices were thrown madly around the room at certain junctures.   (I am not sure, but it might be that they stopped showing the movie because they really cleaned up… not by making money, but by cleaning up pieces of bread, hahaha.  They don’t appear to be showing it this weekend.)

That’s the end of my brag fest.  I may never brag again as much in my entire life.  (superblush.)  OK, I’m over it.

And even though there’s no harp music in the film, it was done by a harpist, (me), so there.

Enjoy!  And make sure your toaster is in proper working condition…!
