Zombie, Evil Dead, and Dellamorte Dellamore are required viewing if you want to get to know me. These films may help explain my love for some of the Day of the Dead art found at the Eye's Gallery on South Street. A diorama of skeletons at the dentist office? Sign me up! In addition to brightly-colored (and reasonably priced ) tchotchke from the "Dias de los Muertos," you can find folk art, instruments, and more eye-candy per square inch then anywhere else on the formerly eclectic South Street. Looking for a gift? You're bound to find something in this multi-storey affair, even if your pal is not so interested in skulls and death art. The place acts as a museum where all is on sale. Still, as always, I'm hung up on the death art. To quote Ken Foree in Dawn of the Dead, "When there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth." If they're this colorful and fun, what's the problem!?
