Monthly Haiku Corner – July

Happy July! Summer is in full swing and Halloween countdown is on. Code orange alerts (fan notifications of retailers displaying seasonal products) are already being reported. America will soon be celebrating its 247 birthday and there’s nothing more American than the zombie film.

Chicago born director, Victor Halperin introduced audiences to the Haitian mythos of zombies when White Zombie opened in 1932, and in 1968, New York filmmaker George A Romero changed the Hollywood landscape forever with his first horror film, Night of the Living Dead. Yes, indeed, the zombies as American as Apple pie, which is why the theme this month is Red, White, and Ghoul. All haiku in July will connect to tell the story of a good ole fashioned American zombie apocalypse.
