Nice meeting Mr Peter Jason a true gentleman was always a thrill seeing him in many of John Carpenter films became a tradmark RIP

Peter Jason (Duty Sergeant: Escape From L.A.) (1944 - 2025)

"Peter Jason, one of the great character actors in cinema, has died. His first movie was Howard Hawks' RIO LOBO. He was a dear friend and I'll miss him terribly." - John Carpenter, X

Peter is a household name for JC fans and also collaborated with John on Prince of Darkness, They Live, Body Bags, In the Mouth of Madness, Village of the Damned and Ghosts of Mars. He was indeed one of the great character actors. Always memorable and charismatic. He will be fondly remembered.

Very honored to have spoken with this nice, fun and open guy on the phone. Despite his limited screen time he had great stories to share. When I called him afterwards to ask for permission to use a photo I all of a sudden ended up talking to a swede (like me) who just happened to be there and was part of the family somehow. How about that.

Nice write up of flowers for the DEAD
Rotten Ink

While we took a look at the films that cashed in on the legacy of NOTLD, I also want to take a brief moment to talk about a cool tribute short movie called “Flowers For The DEAD” that was released in 2013 and is directed by Joe Barbarisi who clearly loved the classic work of Romero and even shot parts of the film in the Evan City Cemetery that the original film shot in. The films plot is about Linda a woman whose parents have passed away who finds herself in the cemetery during a zombie outbreak and to make things worse she is being stalked all through the massive cemetery by zombies who want to make her their dinner and she has no signs of help. Now Lisa must fight for her life and find a way to out step the dead and get back to her car! Does she make it out alive…or does she become another meal for the living dead…watch this film on YouTube and find out for yourself! This short film is well shot and making it black and white was a very nice touch as it helps make it feel right at home with NOTLD. The zombies as well are well done for an indie film with some being make-up and others wearing masks, and again this added to the vibe and feel of the film. I want to also say that I really dug the films score as it fit the film perfectly, and to be honest I would love to have it on CD! I love indie horror, and this was a fun one that someday I would love to show at an Indie Horror Showcase event that is put on by Horrorama Dayton and Blood Scream Comics! So I want to just say good work to Joe Barbarisi and his cast and crew for making such a fun and classically spooky Horror Short film.
