A Halloween costume making event where you make costumes based on public domain characters! And have pizza!

Hey current FCNYU-ers,

A few years back, around Halloween, we did a screening of Night of the Living Dead (which is in the public domain through a weird set of circumstances) alongside a screening of a project called Night of the Living Dead: Reanimated. It was logistically a bit difficult, but ended up being fun.

If anybody's interested in doing it this year, I could help put these two together for whoever wanted to run this event there.

Currently planned:

Games remix night: we come up with Chess variants and play them. The most fun gets a prize?

Ubuntu install party this 22nd, probably.

Ideas we've had

Remix cinema festival: take scenes from visual works now under public domain and splice them. Create cohesive and awesome story. Also, confusing.

I have always thought that the 1940s Superman shorts from Fleischer Studios would be a really fun and profitable thing to remix:

At the very least, it would be easy to record better dialogue, which should be completely unrelated to the particular banalities of Supermandom; there is a lot of good visual material there for all sorts of general science fiction and adventure stories.

Also, you could mix in dialogue from Shakespeare!  Or Old Time Radio recordings from the 1940s!  Or Old Time Radio recordings of Shakespeare from the 1940s!

Thanks,
Richard

The Night of the Living Dead: Reanimated screening was quite fun, as I remember :)

It would be great to have an all-out Halloween PD fest, with as many zany horror remixing gimmicks as possible.  It's rather a genre that lends itself to this type of wonderful thing.
 
Thanks,
Richard
