Pōkā ʻoi aku ka hanana ma mua o kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, a ʻo ia kēlā me kēia mea weliweli e ʻike ai. Welina mai hoʻi, e kaʻu mau Nasties liʻiliʻi! ʻO kāu pal aloha i haʻalele ʻO Manic Exorcism ma aneʻi mākaukau hou e pana i ka wahi hoʻomaha o kekahi o nā mea hana nui a Horrordom. No laila e ʻohi i kahi ʻūpā a e ʻeli pono i loko.

I kēlā me kēia manawa a pōmaikaʻi ka poʻe e hoʻoweliweli nei me kahi keu keu o ke keu o nā hiʻohiʻona weliweli, nā makaʻu, a me nā leʻaleʻa macabre! Pōkā he kiʻi ʻoniʻoni like kēlā.

I ka makahiki 1982, ua mālama ʻia nā mea pā i kahi smorgasbord aloha a me nā haʻalulu, a me kekahi mau pepehi leʻaleʻa, ʻoiai ʻekolu mau haku o ka macabre i hui pū i kā lākou mau taleni kū hoʻokahi e hāʻawi i ke ola i ka mea i lilo koke i mea haku punahele punahele ʻia. Kahului.

ʻO kēia trinity hemolele o ka iwi kuamoʻo-wili ke ʻano o nā hihiʻo weliweli a ka luna aloha George A Romero (Ala o ka poʻe make, lā o ka poʻe make, Martin), kahi papakaumaka i kākau ʻia e ka haku moʻolelo moʻolelo hoʻoweliweli ʻO Stephen King (ʻO Sematary Pet, Ke Mālamalama, IT) a ua lawe ʻia i ke ola e nā moʻolelo kaʻao kūikawā, ʻO Tom Savini (Pōʻalima nā ʻāpana 13th 1 a 4, Ke Alaula o ka Mea Make, Mai Kahi Ahiō a Ke Alaula) a lilo koke ka papahana liʻiliʻi i ʻano hana hoʻomana haipule.

Hoʻohui ʻia e ko lākou aloha aloha no ka hale waihona puke hoʻoweliweli lauoho o ka EC komikina kahiko (ʻO Vault o ka weliweli, ke ʻano o ka makaʻu, nā moʻolelo mai ka crypt) Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Stephen King a me kā mākou mea aloha i haʻalele ʻo George A. Romero i kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni kupaianaha o ka ʻuā a me ka ʻakaʻaka maikaʻi loa ʻana e haʻaheo ʻo Cryptkeeper iā ia iho e hoʻokau i kā lākou lanakila lanakila.

ʻAʻohe kānalua kēia mau kāne i waena o nā mea ʻoi loa o ka weliweli, a ʻo ia mau nō. ʻAʻole lākou i loaʻa pehea e hoʻōho ai iā mākou, akā ua maopopo iā lākou (ka mea nui) he mea nui ia no ka poʻe hoʻolohe e leʻaleʻa i ka nānā ʻana i kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni.

He laina weliweli ia e kaulike ma waena o nā makaʻu a me nā hoʻomākeʻaka, hiki i kahi mea makamae ke huki pono, a e like me nā manawa he nui, ua hōʻoia ʻia pehea e hiki ai i nā mea hewa ke hele. ʻAʻole pēlā me Kahului. Hōʻike ia i ka mālamalama hoʻokahi-o-a-ʻano ʻo Romero lāua ʻo King ka hana a me ka hoʻomākeʻaka nani.

Ma kona puʻuwai Pōkā he kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, leʻaleʻa. I ka hoʻohālikelike pololei ʻana i ka mea a mākou e manaʻo mau ai mai ka cinema weliweli, hoʻohana kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i nā waihoʻoluʻu a me ka hoʻomākeʻaka manawa kūpono e hoʻopuka ai i kāna mau haʻalulu. A ʻo ia kahi ʻāpana o ka mea huna i kāna leʻaleʻa make ʻole.

I kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, lawe ʻo Romero iā mākou i kahi manawa maʻalahi. Hoʻi i ka wā kamaliʻi. I ka wā a mākou e hūnā ai i nā mea hoʻomākeʻaka weliweli mai ko mākou mau mākua me he mea lā e hoʻowalewale ana mākou i nā lāʻau i loko o kā mākou mau kaha sock. Kūpono kūpono, wehe ʻia ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni me kahi makuakāne huhū (Tom Atkins) maʻi e ʻike i kāna keiki Pōkā puke hoʻohenehene ma lalo o kona hale.

ʻAʻole i loko o kēia hale, e ka haku wahine. Maikaʻi ʻole Billy (ʻO Joe Hill) nalowale kāna mele ʻoluʻolu a hoʻokuʻu ʻia mai ke kino mai iā ia. I kēia manawa, kāna cranky olKīloi koke ʻo Pāpā i ka pāhenehene i loko o ka ʻōpala me he ʻeke lā o ka ʻiole popo popopo, a no laila ʻike ʻole ʻia i loko ka noi nā koa pāʻani ʻeleʻele ma ʻō aku o kāna kaohi.

Ke kakali nei ʻelima mau moʻo hoʻoweliweli e weliweli ai ka mea nānā ke hiki ke loaʻa i ka wā e hele ana. He pentagram hewahewa o nā kulu weliweli, o nā mea i makemake ʻole e noho make (a i ʻole a hiki i ka loaʻa ʻana o kā lākou pōpō ma ka liʻiliʻi), a no ka hele pono ʻana ma luna o nā mea hoʻopunipuni kolohe loa.

 

Ke hoʻomanaʻo nei i ka moʻolelo nāna i lawe mai ʻo 'Creepshow' i ke ola

Ua hala koke ʻo George A. Romero i ka makahiki 77, a ua ʻano nui ko mākou honua me ka ʻole ʻo ia. I ka poʻe i ʻike maopopo i ke kāne, he naʻau lokomaikaʻi a akahai ʻo ia. He ʻuhane pumehana ʻo Romero me ka minoʻaka hōʻeuʻeu.

Inā ʻaʻole no ka hāʻawi a Romero i ka weliweli i loko o nā makahiki he kanalua ʻole e loaʻa iā mākou nā mea like Kupa o ka hewa - kahi i hoʻolauleʻa ai i kahi kūleʻa nui hou me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia o Kupa o ka hewa 7 i kēia makahiki - a i ʻole ka hyper-makemake Ekahi Lee moʻo. I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, aia i kēia manawa nā franchise holoʻokoʻa (a me nā ʻoihana he nui) e ʻaiʻē i kā lākou kūleʻa a pau i ko Roma waiwai hoʻoilina.

 

Ua lawe hou aku ʻo Romero iā lākou i ko lākou mau aʻa voodoo a hoʻolilo iā lākou i mau mea make e ola nei me ka makemake nui ʻole i ka ʻiʻo mehana o ka nohona maikaʻi ʻole. Ua wāwahi ʻia kona mau manaʻo, e haʻi liʻiliʻi.

No ke aha e ala mai ai ka poʻe make mai ka lua kupapaʻu me ka pōloli nui ʻole no ka ʻiʻo ola? No ka mea ua ʻōlelo ʻo Romero. No ke aha ʻoe e ʻimi ai i ke poʻo e pepehi i kahi zombie? No ka mea ua ʻōlelo ʻo Romero pēlā. A ʻike he aha? ʻAʻole mākou e nīnau i kēia mau lula. ʻO lākou ka maʻamau a me ka hōʻoiaʻiʻo ʻole e like me ka pōkā kālā i ka puʻuwai werewolf. Noho ʻo Zombies i kēia lā mahalo a pau iā George A. Romero.

Akā ua nui aku nā mea i ke kāne ma mua o kāna mea i mahalo ʻia make franchise. E kamaʻilio pono kāua ma aneʻi, ua hana ʻo Romero i ʻekolu mau kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i kona ola holoʻokoʻa (Ka Po o ka Make Make, Alaula o ka Make, a La o ka poe make) hiki iā ia ke lilo i ke koena o kona mau lā ma ke ʻano he ʻaha kūkā aloha a hana maikaʻi loa nona iho.

Akā ʻaʻole ʻo ia i ukali i kēlā ala no ka mea he kanaka kaha kiʻi kā ke kāne mālama iā ia iho i ka hana ma nā papahana a hiki i ko mākou nalo ʻana iā ia.

He ʻoi aku ka nui o nā mea i ka Makua Makua o Zombies ma mua o nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni zombie. Pōkā ʻo ia kekahi laʻana i waena o nā mea he nui wale o kona leʻaleʻa a me kāna talena, a hōʻoia i ka laulima hana a Romero ma ke ʻano he mea haʻi moʻolelo.

Ua hoʻomaopopo ʻo George Romero i kēia mea nui - i kekahi manawa pono mākou e pani i ka nūhou (a i luna), pata i kekahi popcorn, a laila noho i hope a hoʻopoina i nā mea āpau o ke ola ma o ka vibe o kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni maikaʻi. Ua hāʻawi ke keonimana lokomaikaʻi iā mākou i nā mea he nui loa e koho mai a e hoʻomau ʻia kāna hoʻoilina i nā hanauna e hiki mai ana. ʻO kāna māka ma ka weliweli ʻaʻole e pani hou ʻia a hoʻohālikelike ʻia.

No laila ke hoʻopau nei mākou i ka ʻāpana I o a Pōkā retrospective, hoʻohanohano mākou i ka hoʻomanaʻo a me ka ʻoihana o kahi kanaka akahai nāna i hāʻawi iā mākou nā ʻakaʻaka a me nā ʻoliʻoli he nui. E hala ana ʻoe, e ka haku maikaʻi. A poina ʻole ʻia.

RIP ʻO George A. Romero.
