Well, it's about time Midnight Madness got its very own theme song. Thankfully, fate aligned this year that we found something that completely works with our program and that we can use unofficially, so as to not have to pay for it.
Our tune comes from a band called The Sprites, aptly titled "George Romero". The song praises the Diary of the Dead director (left, opposite, talking to Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright) for the educational value of his back catalogue with lyrical gems like:
"It's the end of the world; I want to live inside a shopping mall".
Not only does the song help educate a new generation of freak shows just like you and me, but it also sends props to other stars of this year's Midnight Madness like Dario Argento (Mother of Tears) and Stuart Gordon (Stuck). The song also mentions Tom Savini and Sam Raimi.
So, there's your 2007 theme music courtesy of Colin Geddes and the Madness gang. If someone can manage to play this song loud enough for Colin or any of our bloggers tonight, I'm sure we can work out some kind of prize to give you.
