Zombies, Skulls, Gore Vidal

Studio 360

Studio 360 is ready for Halloween with plenty of gore. That’s Gore Vidal, novelist and political firebrand, who captures his memories and the images to go with them in his new book. Things get spooky for real when George Romero, one of the great horror filmmakers, debates the scariness of monsters with Ruben Fleischer, director of the hit “Zombieland.” And Kurt talks with Del the Funky Homosapien, who has also carved out a niche as hip-hop’s oddball.
