Ralph Langer first attended Weekend of the Dead back in 2020. He had waited a long time to be part of Weekend of the Dead and now I’m delighted to say officially, he is returning like the Dead for 2024!!!
I’m so pleased to say Ralph will be with us for the next event. He has championed us ever since his first visit.
If you didn’t already know Ralph, he was the man behind the footage shot at the Mall on his super 8 camera, back when Dawn of the Dead was being filmed. Fans will be treated to a showing of his footage at Weekend of the Dead with his brother’s commentary.
Ralph will be speaking about his overall memories being on many of George’s movie sets including of course being a zombie in not only Dawn of the Dead, but Day of the Dead and of course the remake of Night of the Living Dead. Ralph will also be bringing his original camera and green shirt he wore on the set of Dawn of the Dead.
Ralph was the Zombie in Day of the Dead that ends up munching away on John Amplas arm, after he’s shot by Rhodes. It’s down to Steele to take a pot shot at him as he tries to escape the horde of Flesheaters.
His zombie in Dawn can clearly be seen in the ice rink scene where he gets caught up in the nets.
So make sure you join us this November to get the opportunity to meet the man behind the footage behind George’s films.
The Dead are rising in Manchester, will you be among them!!
