L.A. Connection Comedy Group Dubs "Night of the Living Dead"
The L.A. Connection Comedy Group dubs Night of the Living Dead at the Laemmle Royal Thursday June 10 at 10pm with a special bonus screening of the hit TV series Mad Movies.
The L.A. Connection (LAC) is proud to announce we have signed on with The Laemmle Royal Theater to dub a different classic film on the second Thursday of each month at 10pm, followed by a half-hour episode of the cult hit TV series “Mad Movies with the L.A. Connection” with a live appearance from creator/host Kent Skov.
The Sherman Oaks based comedy troupe has been dubbing old films since 1982. The process began with a live performance of “Attack of The 50 Foot Woman” at the Fox Venice Theater. Since then the group has dubbed hundreds of movies live and has produced the cult hit series “Mad Movies”, which was Nickelodeon’s top rated show for two years. LAC was also nominated for a CableAce Award in the “Best Comedy Special” category for dubbing a Sherlock Holmes classic on The A&E Network.
The concept is simple. The actors sit in the front row armed with microphones and a live sound musician. LAC then eliminates the original soundtrack and the actors dub in a brand new hilarious comedy soundtrack live.
“Night of the Living Dead” was created in 1968 and is one of the best horror movies ever made, featuring dead bodies returning to life to feast on human flesh. A group of survivors seeks refuge in a farmhouse, hoping to protect themselves from the hordes of advancing zombies. In LAC’s dubbed version, the first female President is trapped by zombie lobbyists in the temporary White House with the first black Vice President, a paranoid press secretary, a hot intern, a starving orphan and the man from FEMA. Thus another LAC DUB-A-VISION Classic is born.
