Award Winning Spanish Language Film ZOMBIE DAWN Rises May 4th at Rosemont 18 MUVICO Theater

April 27, 2012. Eagle One Media and iFN are proud to announce the nationwide theatrical release of the Spanish language horror action film ZOMBIE DAWN with the film debuting exclusively in the Chicago metro area at the Rosemont MUVICO Theater. In a special arrangement with MUVICO and theaters, cinema ticket buyers shall receive a free limited edition copy of the ZOMBIE DAWN: Safehouse comic book that contains a prequel tie-in story to the feature film. The complimentary 28 page comic book was specifically commissioned for the film and created by comic industry veterans David A. Rodriguez and Dheeraj Verma and will be bilingual in English and Spanish.

Debuting at MUVICO the same weekend as AVENGERS, local movie fans will be able to treat themselves to a Superhero-Zombie Mayhem time at the theater. Along with ZOMBIE DAWN, the award winning computer animated horror short HAMBUSTER will be shown before the main horror feature as an added bonus.

ZOMBIE DAWN is an action horror Spanish language film that has won praise for its presentation and kudos for the film makers in assembling such a feature while working with only a micro budget. ZOMBIE DAWN recently won awards at the Zixion Sars film festival in Chile for directors Cristian Toledo and Lucio A. Rojas, and art direction.

Zombie Dawn

Glowing reviews are in regarding ZOMBIE DAWN:

“ZOMBIE DAWN is low budget zombie horror done right. It has that gritty feel as if it were made right about the same time as DAWN OF THE DEAD
while embracing films like Peckinpah and the old spaghetti westerns by focusing on a morally grey merc and his men.” AINITCOOL.COM

“‘Zombie Dawn’ Arrives in America with Originality, Micro-Budgeting” YAHOO!

“The passion for the genre is here, down to the trigger happy ‘good guys’…there’s a cultish charm to everything” INDIEWIRE.COM

5th Annual Chicago Zombie Pub Crawl, April 28, 2012

by on Mar.27, 2012, under Chicago Zombie News & Events

Chicago Zombie Pub CrawlThe CZPC is based on other successful Zombie Pub Crawls around the US, specifically Minneapolis. Former pH Cast Company Member, Alaina Hoffman formerly lived in the Minneapolis area and thought it would be an amazing event for Chicago. She pitched it to Co-Artistic Director Jason Geis, and the two were off and running in planning the first CZPC in 2008. The first Crawl took place in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood and we hoped to have 100 people. Needless to say it was a much bigger hit. Almost 400 zombies wandered the streets of Andersonville into Simon’s, Charlie’s Ale House and Hamburger Mary’s. The 2009 edition nearly doubled in size and we added In Fine Spirits to the crawl family. Almost 700 zombies rotated in and out of Simon’s, Charlie’s Ale House, Mary’s and In Fine Spirits. In 2010 we added the fine folks at @mosphere, The Call and Mary’s Rec Room added to the already amazing Hamburger Mary’s stop. Last year we added Farragut’s to the Crawl and they were a welcome addition to the family. The 2012 Crawl is the 5th year anniversary and we promise we are going to make it the best yet.

by on Nov.07, 2011, under Chicago Zombie News & Events, Zombie Books & Readings

Zombie CensusIn celebration of the release of Martin Mundt’s REANIMATED AMERICANS, Creeping Hemlock Press is pleased to announce THE ZOMBIE CENSUS.

Are you a zombieholic? A cadaveriffic cadet? An undead aficionado? Have you always wanted to see yourself through milky uncomprehending eyes? Or are you just going as a zombie for Halloween? If you said “Yes” to any of these questions, you should know that speaking responses aloud to internet questionnaires is actually unnecessary! And also that this contest is for you… They want to count you among the living dead!

It’s simple: email them a photo of yourself as a zombie, DMV/photo ID style, just like the pics on this page. You can use make-up or Photoshop or both (but please, none of those silly zombie apps—show some creativity).
