Deadheads

Meet the Filmmaker

Pierce Brothers

Director
Synopsis
In a world of putrid zombie movies, DEADHEADS is a breath of fresh air, says horror icon Bruce Campbell about the debut feature from the sons of Bart Pierce, the special effects photographer on the classic EVIL DEAD. A return to 1980's style comedy-adventure movies like BACK TO THE FUTURE and THE GOONIES, the Pierce Brothers winning combo of gory horror action, smart humour and heartfelt emotion follows zombie slackers Mike and Brent as they travel across country to find the former's old girlfriend and love of his life. But will those nasty bounty-hunting agents with a secret agenda catch them before they do? As a zombieland Abbott and Costello, actors Michael McKiddy and Ross Kidder's chemistry and timing are superb. And you'll just love Markus Taylor as the lumbering Cheese in this Road Trip of the Living Dead that's hilarious and surprisingly sweet

Chillerama

Meet the Filmmaker

Adam Rifkin, Tim Sullivan Adam Green, Joe Lynch

Director
Synopsis
It's the closing night at the last drive-in theater in America and Cecil B. Kaufman (HATCHET's Richard Riehle) has planned the ultimate marathon of lost film prints to unleash upon his faithful cinephile patrons. Four films so rare that they have never been exhibited publicly on American soil until this very night! What could possibly go wrong?

In the spirit of classic anthology films like CREEPSHOW and TWILIGHT ZONE: THE MOVIE and containing films that not only celebrate the golden age of drive-in B horror shlock but also span over four decades of cinema, CHILLERAMA offers something for every bad taste. With titles like WADZILLA, I WAS A TEENAGE WEREBEAR, THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANKENSTEIN, and ZOM-B-MOVIE and featuring appearances by Joel David Moore (AVATAR), Lin Shaye (INSIDIOUS), Ray Wise (X-MEN: FIRST CLASS), Kane Hodder (FRIDAY THE 13th), Eric Roberts (THE DARK KNIGHT) and more cameos than you can count, CHILLERAMA is sure to have you screaming for more. From the depraved minds of Adam Rifkin (DETROIT ROCK CITY), Tim Sullivan (2001 MANIACS), Adam Green (FROZEN), and Joe Lynch (WRONG TURN 2).
