1910 music and zombies!

Okay, I was going to start two threads for this but I decided against it. I’ll test it out as one.

What I’m looking to make is a film about the Titanic rising and all flavors of nasty zombie shit being unleashed upon the world.

My first request is for some music that would have been popular in the UK around the 1910s (read: stuff the people on the Titanic would’ve liked). Could anyone name me some tracks?

Also, in Dawn of the Dead, I know they used a green/grey make-up on the faces of the zombies. I’m just wondering if anyone would know anything about what stuff they used for the effect.

Thank you for your help, fellas.

You might start here on the music.

But why limit yourself to 1910? The Titanic went down in April, 1912.
And there are others on this board much better at Zombies.

Go to www.tinfoil.com, where you can actually hear some of it. Great music, the early '10s. . .

Lucky for you pop songs lasted years instead of weeks back then… Particular songs that were popular from 1908 through 1912 (and may be somwhat commonly identifiable today) included:

  • By the Light of the Silvery Moon (1909)
  • I Wonder Who’s Kissing Her Now (1909)
  • Let Me Call You Sweetheart (1910)
  • Down By the Old Stream Mill (1910)
  • Alexander’s Ragtime Band (1911)

That’s all I can come up with right now…

…if it’s of any help, there’s always The Titanic “urban legends” page to prove inspiration. Including a legend that there was a curses Egyptian mummy in the 'hold.

And, as I recall, when Steven Spielberg made the movie “A.I.,” he contracted with an agency of disabled actors to cast amputees as some of the film’s robots—so they could remove and reattach their “cybernetic” limbs onscreen. You might be able to do something similar for your zombie film…sure, it’s not real “P.C.”, but hell, it’s a zombie movie, not “The Grapes of Wrath.”

Look for the CD “And the Band Played On (Music Played on the Titanic)” by I Salonisti.

“I’m Ray, can I play a 1910’s style zombie?”
“Ah, a 1910’s style dead Ray.”
