Trek writers original works

[Greg Cox]

You do realize that the title could be taken another way, right?

Granted, but hopefully the zombie thing raises different expectations.

Just as a tease, the first line of the story:

"Being a zombie makes me feel alive."

Being a zombie makes me feel alive.

Hmm.

But Lucy, I'm engaged to Mina... and you're dead.

I'm not dead. I'm undead.

Yes, well, I'm not unengaged.

From the Mel Brooks movie?

From the Mel Brooks movie?

Yes!

Yes, we have Nosferatu! We have Nosferatu today!

(And I'm absolutely certain that I used that joke in connection with a showing of Murnau's Nosferatu [with Robert York's live accompaniment on the "Mighty Austin" at St. Luke's, Long Beach] at least a year before the first time I saw Dracula: Dead And Loving It.)

Personally, I think that the only reason why Dracula: Dead And Loving It was a butt-monkey among Mel Brooks movies is because Young Frankenstein was such an impossibly tough act to follow.
