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.

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

It’s that time again, zombies! The 5th Annual Zombie March Chicago will take place on June 16th at 3:00 pm, starting in Millennium Park at The Bean.

If folks want their makeup done, Colleen Jones and David Lasley are available to take appointments – find and message them through the official ZMC Facebook Group or Event Page. If you don’t have the time to make an appointment, don’t worry! We will have a crack team of zombie makeup artists to zombify you!

We are also working on getting a hotel to host the makeup space and for those who need a place to stay for the event. Check out the ZMC Facebook Group for answers to your questions, and find specific time and location information on the Event Page.

The 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.

Spooktacular Chicago – Zombie March 2011 from Dan Heuser on Vimeo.

Zombies gather to march down the streets of Chicago.

New Millennium Theatre Company Brings Zombies Home for the Holidays.
Fun Family Christmas will NOT be ruined by some silly “apocalypse”.

On December 2, Christmas is coming and the zombies are getting fat this Holiday Season as New Millennium Theatre Company (NMTC) decks the halls with a salute to George Romero in Silent Night of the Living Dead,an original play by NMTC company members Sean Harklerode and Chad Wise. It’s the perfect holiday distraction for anyone that has stifled an uncomfortable laugh or tried to hide behind a water glass or slink under the table to avoid being criticized for their life choices while passing the mashed potatoes.

Barbara Cooper is home from college and she’s brought her new man-friend Ben to meet her family. And Mr. Cooper will be DAMNED if some zombie apocalypse nonsense is going to get in the way of Mrs. Cooper’s perfect Cooper Family Christmas—even if he finds himself with an insatiable craving for brains! It’s a race against the kitchen timer as the Zombies close in, threatening everyone’s Christmas cheer.  What will become of Barbara’s family?  Can Ben save Christmas??  Will the turkey be dry??? Grab the nearest blunt instrument, and gather under the mistletoe to find out on the Silent Night of the Living Dead!

For the past five years, NMTC has been producing its unique brand of Fa-la-la-la-la with the type of holiday fare that stands out like The David Bowie Christmas Special 1977 and Sinta Claus City. NMTC, also no stranger to horror parody, brings a combination that pleases its long time fans along with the holiday theatergoer looking for a little spike in their holiday nog. Writer Sean Harklerode (Plans 1-8 from Outer Space) explains  “This show started out with a simple premise:  What if Night of the Living Dead happened on Christmas Eve?  Many of us wind up sleep walking through the holidays.  So, what’s the difference between that and a bunch of zombies? Aside from the brain eating?” NMTC Artistic Director, co-writer and veteran director Chad Wise (Evil Dead The Musical!, Boomstick!, Sinta Claus City, Villains, ) adds “This show appealed to me because the idea of a family trying desperately to retain the veneer of a perfect traditional Christmas through enormous odds seemed like the kind of  shared human experience I could sink my teeth into. As if a drunken guest, an overbearing matriarch, and an inappropriate encounter between the man of the house and the next-door good-time girl weren’t enough, 2/3 of the Cooper children are now more interested in brains than the Roast Beast. Harklerode adds, “Plus, there’s a talking snowman and lots of guts and brains.  Wonderful, wonderful brains. “

Silent Night of the Living Deadwill run December 2 through December 18 with performances on Fridays at 10:00 PM, Saturdays at 11:00 PM, Sundays at 5:00 PM with special performances on December 29-30 at 8:00PM at Theater Wit (1229 W. Belmont Chicago IL). Tickets are $18 Fri-Sat, $15 on Sundays.412 Industry tickets are available for Sunday performances. There is a $2 discount with the donation of a non-perishable food item. A limited number of half price tickets are available through goldstar.com and Hottix. For more information or to purchase tickets call 773-975-8150 or visit www.nmtchicago.org.
