Picking Brains with Wednesday Lee Friday: Brian & Dr Brain Rotz

Rotz FI

The split-personality is a delightful horror premise even if it has very little basis in real-life psychology. We're all intrigued by the idea of an alter-ego who can do things we'd LOVE to do but could never get away with. If there were no repercussions at all…who's to say we wouldn't rob a bank, knock on a door and run away, or even start our own series of macabre online vids. Dr Rotz Laboratory is good stuff. Happily for us, internet get-about Dr Rotz has agreed to answer some of our most pressing Q's. If you haven't seen Dr Rotz collection of awesomely … [Read more...]

Regular readers surely know by now that I dig Zombie Hunter. Nathan Greene is a cute-as-a-button redneck who also happens to be the finest zombie killer north (or south, for that matter) of the Mason-Dixon line. The new season just dropped, and it's everything fans want it to be: bloody, hilarious, and emphatically NSFW. Zombie Hunter Season Two—why wouldn't you subscribe? ZZN spoke with writer/director Jesse Dedman where he laid out his vision for the show. Today we pick the brains of lead actor Elvis Quintero, and new cast member Natalie Hernandez. … [Read more...]

Zombie Hunter Season Two Preview is Here!

Zombie Hunter: Season Two. The first-season adventures of a largely incompetent zombie hunter featured plenty of things I'd never seen before. The music rocked hard. These guys crack me up. Sure, they're silly and low-budget. They're also hilarious, bloody, and well on their way to a second season. That's right, Jesse Dedman and Elvis Quintero lead their band of zombies into what promises to be another fun season. I had the pleasure of speaking with Jesse Dedman about the first season of Zombie Hunter. I was pretty stoked when this preview dropped earlier … [Read more...]

For Love of Zombies is one of my favorite zombie fan films EVER. It appeals to the zombie nerd in all of us. It's clever, hilarious, well-written, and unique. I was stoked that screenwriter Ron DiPrimio was able to talk zombies, Romero, and Evans City Cemetery with us. WLF/ZZN: Hey, thanks for taking the time to answer some of our questions. Your new movie is titled For Love of Zombies. I'm intrigued. Tell us about it. It's the story of two zombie loving geeks who drag their less than enthusiastic girlfriends to the world famous Evans City Cemetery for a … [Read more...]

Livin' with Steve. Zombie-based humor is huge these days, which is to say, there's a lot of it. I enjoy a good Zomcom so long as I get a solid script, some genuine laughs, an enthusiastic cast, and some compelling scenes of undead carnage. The Australian web series Livin' with Steve provides just that. Livin' with Steve is seven yukworthy episodes of animated sitcom chomping. The premise is simple: Buddies Nate (a living human) and Steve (not so much) hang out, have fun, and try to make the rent before they get booted out of their pad. Nate doesn't seem to … [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...]

Zombie Hunter S1 DVD: Wednesday Lee Friday Reviews

Low-budget zombie shorts. Can we ever get enough of them? Well, I can-- but that's because a lot of them suck. How is this possible? Decent acting, a good script, and passable special effects can be had for cheap, if not free, can't they? All you really need is a good idea, a dedicated cast and crew, and some free time, right? Not so much. In reality, it's pretty expensive to produce quality audio, video, editing, and special effects. Plus, I'm told, actors and crew members often enjoy things like meals and water on the set. It's not easy or cheap to create a … [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...]

In a recent review, ZZN reminded readers that quality Zombie Shorts DO Exist! Here at ZZN we pursue the latest high quality Zombie items like... well, the Living Dead seek flesh, so when we received and email about HUGS, we had to check it out! A student production company from Baltimore's Stevenson University called Future Gun Productions created an amazing Zombie Short where viewers are treated with an introduction to a "man" named Harry. Harry doesn't want much. He doesn't want you money, or your house. He doesn't want to steal your woman. No, its … [Read more...]

Zombie Hunter Title120x120

From the website: Zombie Hunter, a mockumentary on the various hunts of an incompetent but overly confident zombie hunter, follows Nathan Greene as he investigates infected areas, follows-up on some bizarre leads, and exploits products design to guarantee survival in this zombie crisis. I gotta say, one of my fave things about YouTube is the proliferation of small filmmakers making small but passionate zombie vids. With us today is one such purveyor, Jesse Dedman, whose Zombie Hunter is a fun, stylized look at how rednecks hunt the living dead. WLF/ZZN: Hey … [Read more...]
