The Zombie Apocalypse Means many things to many people. Preparing for it is another story. You may think you're ready, or may know you're not. Regardless, those who think about the Zombie Apocalypse often think about how they would protect the ones they love. What if the one you were trying to protect was too little to protect themselves in any way? What if you were their only protection in a Zombie Infested world? What if you... were bitten? What if the greatest threat to the one you cared most about, was you? A new indie-short called "Cargo" explores all … [Read more...]

Dead Before Dawn - Ellen Dubin - banner

(Written by Zombie Zone News reporter Daniel Potts) All right zombie fans, get ready for the North American release of a new zombie movie that shows a slightly lighter side of our beloved genre. Dead Before Dawn 3D is not your run-of-the-mill zombie flick - it's a mix of the supernatural, an 80’s teen movie and a new world Apocalypse. In Dead Before Dawn, Ellen Dubin - a strikingly leggy 5’10&1/2” native of Toronto - plays Beverly Galloway. Her character is the mother of Casper (Devon Bostick - Diary of a Wimpy Kid) and Christopher Lloyd, of Back to the … [Read more...]

Picking Brains with Wednesday Lee Friday: Tom Berdinski

Is it possible to love low-budget horror TOO much? Maybe. In the case of Michigan director Tom Berdinski though, his passion is our gain. The Italian Zombie Movie pts 1 and 2 is a truly staggering achievement. Sharp and funny, like Troma films meets Backyard Wrestling. It looks cheap because it was made with a budget of zero dollars and zero cents. When you watch, it's not difficult to figure out where all that money went. Ha! Copies of The Italian Zombie Movie are getting scarce. If you are lucky enough find see an available one, by all means, snag it! Tom … [Read more...]

I hate The Evil Dead: Explained, because you asked for it.

As a life-long zombie fan from the great state of Michigan, I am met with varying degrees of surprise when new friends learn that I loathe The Evil Dead movies—and indeed, all of Sam Raimi's horror. "Even Army of Darkness?!?" they say in feigned hipster shock. Yes, 'fraid so. People have been asking me to explain (read: justify) this for at least 20 years now. I wanted to explain it, but I honestly didn't know—until now. This might end up being more about me than the film itself, but hey, you asked. See, I don't just "dislike" Evil Dead. I loathe it. I've … [Read more...]

Midnight Monster Movies. Is there anything better in the world than a passionate horror host with a paltry budget bringing the horror love to the people? Yeah, there probably is—but you gotta admit that monster movie hosts are Real Horrorshow. One such host is Columbus Ohio's own Doctor Bob Tesla. His Midnight Monster Movies feature a dizzying array of sound, spectacle, audience interaction, and general horrific whimsy. Luckily for us, he's also a witty guy, and was kind enough to answer a few of our most pressing inquiries. WLF/ZZN: Hey Doctor Bob, thanks … [Read more...]

The Dead Gives a Fresh Feel to the Living Dead!

The Dead, a new Blue-Ray and DVD release from Anchor Bay Films, hit the shelves o across the country this week with a vengance! It has been hailed as the greatest Zombie Film of the year. It goes where few (if any) Zombie movies have gone before: Africa. The movie follows the story of an American mechanic who was part of an evacuation that went wrong, and an African military man who is simply trying to find his son. Like most Zombie flicks, the duo struggle to find survivors, food, water, and ammo. Unlike most Zombie flicks, almost all of the Zeds are black, and … [Read more...]

For Love of Zombies: Wednesday Lee Friday Reviews

For Love of Zombies “For the Love” is a way of describing creative work that you don’t get paid for. It can be web design, writing, music, or in the case of For Love of Zombies, short film. I was kindly sent a screener by writer/director Ron DiPrimio and Little Red Wagon Films; and it took me over a week just to watch it. This is the best Night of the Living Dead fan film I have seen since 1990’s Night of the Living Bread. The film begins with two pitch-perfect horror nerds on a road trip to drop their girlfriends off at college. The whole cast … [Read more...]

Picking Brains with Wednesday Lee Friday: Nikolai Pigarev

If you're not watching a lot of foreign horror, you're really missing out. There's the French and their love of literal bloodbaths, the exquisite torture found in so many Asian horror classics, and good ol' zombie chomping action a'la the Spanish REC, and Denmark's Opstandelsen. The United States have, by no means, cornered the horror market. With that in mind, I was stoked to check out the new trailer for the new Russian film, Meteletsa (Translation: Winter of the Dead). The film's director, Nikolai Pigarev, was kind enough to sit down and answer a few of my … [Read more...]

The Road To Hell is Through Zombie Valley

Creating your own decent micro-budget Zombie Film takes much more that just a camera and some make-up, and sometimes less. A lot of work goes into making any film but even more when that film is horror... and if you are thinking Zombies... it may be easier to go construct your own full-sided pyramid from scratch without any modern tools. What makes it so challenging? Well, first you need a story. Then you need to make that story into a script. Then you need volunteers... er, actors and crew, so that you don't cut into your already non-existent budget. You'll … [Read more...]
