Last year we screened two great indie horror films. The films being IT’S MY PARTY AND I’LL DIE IF I WANT TO and the world premiere of ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE. How in the world could we top that? Well we decided if two great indie horror movies were good then a whole weekend has to be better. So while it is our second annual screening it will be the First Annual Drunken Zombie Film Festival. We’re taking open submissions for indie horror films. So if you have created an indie masterpiece or know someone who as then be sure to submit. No submission fees! We are teaming with the Peoria Theater to bring this to you. Best part about the Peoria Theater? It’s a Brew and View. Yes you can have some drinks and watch some coeds run for their lives. And this time we’re doing it on the weekend. So you out of town folks have no excuse this time. So mark your calendars! November 6-7. Features and shorts galore. So prepare as Drunken Zombie brings the movies to you!!!!!

Night Of The Living Dead Reanimated (2009):
We are excited to present this new take on an old classic:
| Night of the Living Dead: Reanimated is a mass collaborative artistic re-envisioning of George A. Romero’s 1968 cult classic, Night of the Living Dead.
International artists and animators were invited to select scenes from the film and reinvent them through their artwork. Open to all styles, media and processes the results ran the gamut with scenes created in everything from puppet theater to CGI, hand drawn animation to flash, and oil paintings to tattoos. |
|
| This cacophony of works was organized and curated across the original film’s time line in order to create a completely original video track made entirely out of art. | |
| The result of this project is an experimental take on the cult classic. What it forfeits in visual continuity, it gains in variety.
If you are looking for a tried and true horror film, then go see George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead. If you are looking for a film that approaches the horror genres from an entirely new direction, then prepare yourself for the mindbending artistry that is Night of the Living Dead: Reanimated. |

Don’t Go Into The Woods:
A group of friends venture into the woods to disprove a local urban legend only to find it very very real.
The great thing about this movie is that it was written and acted by a group of teenagers and it turned out to be a lot of fun. Their uncle helped them shoot it and do some computer effects but this movie was definitely a labor of love and it really shows through. So enjoy!
The Dead Have Risen:
The Dead Have Risen is a great short film about characters trapped in a hospital during a zombie outbreak. Fantastic special effects, great locations, and tons of extras help make this one of the best zombie shorts I have seen in a long long time. Click on the poster for their website.
Fast Zombies With Guns:
Collateral damage….sometimes it’s unavoidable. Paul Varlo’s attempt to kill the man who is going to rat him out by poisoning his water supply leads to an outbreak of zombie carnage. To make matters worse, these zombies are different, they’re faster, meaner and they’re armed. With the town being over run by fast zombies with guns, one group of people are attempting to make their escape to Chicago to survive. Meanwhile, Jake and his girlfriend Laura are on their way to Spring Grove to bring Varlo a priceless heirloom and collect their 2 million dollars. They make it to Spring Grove and discover an empty town, its streets paved in blood. Will the group survive the terror that has befallen them? Will Jake and Laura get their 2 million? Will the zombies run out of bullets?
