Clip of the Week: Night of the Living Jews

By Carla Sosenko / April 1, 2008

As Passover approaches, let us take a moment to remember those Jews we’ve lost—you know, the ones who consumed “matzoh with a dark history” and were transformed into the living dead only to be hunted down by the goyim they preyed upon. Wait. What?

Add Hasidic Jews to any situation and it instantly becomes funnier—that’s the theory behind Sam Falconi and Oliver Noble’s Night of the Living Jews, a Heeb Magazine–produced film about Jewish zombies who use their lethal peyos to attack gentiles. The film premiered in October, though if you happen to live in Australia or Canada you can catch it this spring. It features Melissa Leo, Homicide vet and star of the Sundance darling Frozen River, as Jewish Mother Zombie. (It could have been worse—she could have been cast as Bagel Zombie.)

Will the zombies be taken down by the power of a bacon double cheeseburger? You’re going to have to watch to find out.

    paradox is only for those that don't understand – there is no paradox – just a 'higher' view – there is no clue! ! (it's about the limitation of language)

    I'm not even going to bother trying to explain this to you – because our holy rabbis forbid, picking up small coins – because it brings disgrace on the holiness of the rabbi.

    I in fact love the producers of this sick film thing more than I love the stupidity and shallowness of your posting Naftali – because i hope for something so much greater – but my dreams are ripped apart by your our shortsightedness. May forgive me God!

    L'shem Yichud – Yechi Andonay Noo – Echad!!

    Naft – please ignore me – I really bore you.

    One post about love, the next about hate, and then how much you understand holiness.  Buy a clue.

    If i wasn't anti-semitic before this – i am now – p.s. i was anyways – but i hate jews like these – it's not funny – it's just sick – but that's the reaction they probably want – i don't have to wish the producers of this any ill – because they are already.
