People just can’t seem to get enough of flesh-eating zombies (or maybe it’s the other way around). These days, the fantasy of a modern society fighting off zombies appears in nearly every medium of visual entertainment. Michigan-based artist Matt Busch takes this concept to a whole new level in his Hollywood is Dead series of classic movie posters featuring an undead twist.
How did it all begin? Four years ago, Lucasfilm asked Busch to create six versions of the classic “Star Wars” posters with a little zombie flair. “While they [Lucasfilm] spawned the initial idea, the real joy for me that keeps me doing them is my love for movie posters,” Busch told Crave. “I’m such a fan of the classic artists like Drew Struzan and Bob Peak. So to be able to study their work up close is a lot of fun for me. And then, yeah, ripping it to a bloody mess by giving it the zombie treatment is a guilty pleasure, too.”
