[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Tonight's Featured Avatar (Page 1 of 2)
Posted: 8/15/2013 4:32:10 PM EDT
Tonight's featured avatar belongs to the member, wwace - a member of the site since 2010.
The girl in the avatar is Kyra Schon, an actress playing the part of Karen Cooper in the 1968 Romero film classic Night of the Living Dead. Karen is one of seven people who have sought refuge in the farmhouse from the zombies. 
She had been bitten and was the first to turn into a zombie. In the below scene, Karen has already turned and is feasting on the arm of her father. She then turns on her mother and kills her with a trowel. (Zombie fans will notice that Karen is violating one of the traditional and rarely broken zombie rules by using a weapon to kill.) 
Here is a more recent photo of the zombie girl: 
The entire movie can be seen here:
....and now you know.

Good night.  I work with Buttcrust
I never would have gotten substandard since he isn't wearing the top hat |

Looks a lot like Chloe Moretz, the girl that played hit girl from kick ass, and the vampire girl from the remake Let Me In.
Actually, that's who I thought that was. Figured it was a snap from Let Me In 
Pics I found on google for anyone that doesn't know who she is: 
ETA: These featured avatar threads are interesting. Learned something from each of them so far

Good night. I don't know, mine is a personal photo and has an interesting back story. |

Just FYI I selected her as my Avatar because her look most describes my feelings at the time, my utter disgust with the administration and that hint of danger her eyes focus foretells. I first watched that movie when I was around 13 in 1973 and it was a favorite of my gang of friends. We would scream what they should be doing at the TV and planning our rounds at the mall to get adequate supplies to defeat the Zombie Horde.

Some other notable trivia: - The film was the ultimate in low budget films. It was made for just a tad over 100K. - The man who played Karen's father in the film....was her actual father. - NOTLD shook up film audiences in a couple of ways...the first was that a black man was featured as the hero and main character surrounded by white characters. It also mixed things up by the hero getting killed in the film - something that rarely happened. - There was no rating system in play at the time, so children were watching this movie at Saturday afternoon matinees. Quite a big change from when Romero came out with Dawn of the Dead which was banned in many areas. |

Is this going to be a new running feature, sort of like the Sunday metal threads and the top post count thread? I dunno. Maybe until something shiny distracts me. I miss your old "guns in the news" threads. I did a parody for about a week, shits a lot of work. |

The news interviewer at the end of the film with the Sheriff was the local host of "Creature Features" Saturday night movie show at the time. The places and evacuation centers listed on the TV are/were real places.
