Walz and Bishop

Walz, Lawrence A. "Mary Henry's journey from Owl Creek Bridge." Literature Film Quarterly, 00904260, 1995, Vol. 23, Issue 4.

Bishop, Kyle. "Raising the dead: unearthing the nonliterary origins of zombie cinema." Kyle Bishop. Journal of Popular Film and Television 33.4 (Wntr 2006): p196(10).

Walz develops a complex reading of Carnival of Souls, relying on "the Pavilion" and "up/down" as essential ways to understand the movie. With these in mind, ponder the role the zombies play in the film. What do they signify?

Bishop refers to the concept of the "uncanny." What do you think he means by this? How has it shown up in the films we've seen thus far?
