FANGORIA will host a free screening of the satirical dark comedy/mockumentary AMERICAN ZOMBIE at New York City’s Two Boots Pioneer Theater (155 East 3rd Street and Avenue A) on Saturday, July 5 at 11 p.m. The festival favorite follows writer/director Grace Lee and fellow non-fiction filmmaker John Solomon (playing themselves) as they set out to capture the struggles of Revenants, i.e. high-functioning zombies, living and working in Los Angeles. As Grace strives to get to know the zombies “on their own terms,” John is eager to uncover their darker side and rallies to get the crew permission to shoot at a three-day, zombies-only retreat called Live Dead where the shoot takes an unexpected—and dangerous—turn.

The Fango/Pioneer AMERICAN ZOMBIE screening will be a free show; to obtain tickets, send an e-mail to fangoscreening@starloggroup.com. You must list “AMERICAN ZOMBIE” as your subject line. Offer is good for you and one guest. Plus tell us your full name and whether you want to be added to the FANGORIA newsletter list so we can tell you about future Fango screenings and events.

AMERICAN ZOMBIE has been called ”Highly original and funny” by Salon.com, while SLUG (Salt Lake Underground) magazine described it as “Fresh, entertaining and creatively awesome.” The San Francisco Chronicle summed up AMERICAN ZOMBIE best as “A winner all the way”; see our article on the film in Fango #272.

Derry’s historic city walls could soon be over-run with hordes of flesh-eating zombies, if Ulster film director George Clarke gets his way.

Mr. Clarke wrote, produced and directed ‘Battle of the Bone’, the North’s first ever kung-fu zombie movie, which is set for release next month.

The film is one of a trilogy of films in the pipeline and depending on its success, the director could soon base a sequel here in the heart of the city.

‘Battle of the Bone’ takes a surprising slant on the contentious marching season. An army of the undead invade Belfast city centre as Orangemen and nationalist protestors clash, forcing rival gangs from both sides of the community to team up and fight for the greater good. The low budget gore-fest has already attracted global media attention, much to the delight of its director. Speaking to the ‘Journal’, George Clarke (30) revealed: “‘Battle of the Bone’ has got everyone talking. It’s a fun spin on the usual heavy Troubles themes that dominate films from Northern Ireland, so we thought we would make the mother of all Troubles movies, with an absurd kung-fu zombie storyline!

“The ideas are now flowing for a trilogy of films and we’ve suggested that filming in Derry, around the walls, would be a great idea. We like to keep things home-based and Derry’s Walls are very historic and feature in the Troubles in their own way, so they would be a perfect place for a sci-fi horror twist,” he said.

Marketing research firm Intellisponse’s inadvertent leak of multiple internal documents detailed a total of 14 new Spider-Man game concepts from publisher Activision.


Included in the massive list was Spider-Man: Agile Warrior, which is controlled with the Wii Balance Board, Spider-Man: Hero Evolved, set in 2064, Marvel Team Up: Spider-Man Meets the X-Men, and Spider-Man vs. Marvel Zombies.


Agile Warrior is a Wii exclusive, while the latter three are slated for PS3, 360 and Wii.


As Intellisponse helps test market response for products, it is difficult to know which titles are merely proposals and which are in full-blown development.

What do you get when you combine the best (or at least most coherent) superhero universe in comics history with a race of mindless, flesh-eating monsters? Duh! Marvel Zombies! This weekend at Wizard World Philadelphia we talked to Marvel talent consultant C.B. Cybulski, who gave us some good news about the popular horror-tinged Marvel series.


“We’re planning on issuing Marvel Zombies 3,” said Cybulski, “which is by Fred Van Lente and Kev Walker. “It’s a series we have where the zombie universe is going to be coming into the Marvel universe. And there’s a new creative team for that. Prior, it was Robert Kirkman and Sean Phillips, and they were too busy, so Fred and Kev came on board. If you can’t quite remember, the overriding plot or premise of the original series was that almost all super-powered beings on Earth have become flesh-eating zombies after being infected by an alien virus.


If that doesn’t sound incredible to you than you need to get new ears. Or maybe just have them chewed off by a zombified Hulk…

The zombie apocalypse seems to be starting in Indiana County. At least for Clyde residents.


Filming for the movie “12/24,” a zombie horror film that is set during Christmas Eve, is ongoing in the area around Holiday Lake.


The independent film studio Gargoyle Entertainment, of Pittsburgh, is shooting scenes for this project around the lake, using many residents’ land as sets. The shoots have been going on for the last few weekends, and are to resume tonight, (as in Saturday night) with about four days of shooting to go before they take a wrap.
While scouting for sets, the Clyde area was suggested to Matt Bonacci, partner in Gargoyle Entertainment and producer of the film, by Bonacci’s brother, a resident of the area.

If you were traveling near the University of Alabama campus earlier today you may have seen a strange sight walking the streets.

Students in a class studying zombies in American literature and film dressed up in full zombie garb and took to the university campus for the class’s annual Zombie Walk.

The class, taught by University of Alabama English professor Sean Hoade, spends the three weeks of the interim term taking a close look at the evolution of the zombie horror story throughout the history of film and literature. Topics included the philosophical, symbolic and moral implications present in movies like George A. Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead,” “Dawn of the Dead,” and “Land of the Dead.”


The class took a $10 donation in order to participate in the walk, with all proceeds going to the West Alabama Food Bank.


The class raised over $500 with this year’s walk.
