SCREAM FARM Becomes A Comic Book!


Hello, SCARS Readers!!!


My zombie film SCREAM FARM (see the featured article in the current issue of SCARS Magazine) just finished a successful run on cable television and is now set to become a comic book! Being a life-long fan of comic books, graphic novels, and zombies, this is exciting news to me.




For those of you unfamiliar with SCREAM FARM, shame on you!!! Ha ha ha The movie follows a group of students who build a Halloween haunted house to help raise money for their senior class trip. The students get more than they bargained for, however, when they come across a substance in the building that begins turning them, and the townspeople, into flesh-craving zombies.





The movie features myself, Ted Alderman (VAMPYRE TALES), Kimberly Lynn Cole (DEAD CLOWNS), and Maria Kil (THE DEEPENING) with tons of zombies and martial arts action!









Critics say:

“SCREAM FARM is an action-packed fun fest with zombies like you’ve never seen
them before!”
--- Horror Movie News

“There’s no shortage of bloody mayhem!”
--- Horror Yearbook

“Well thought-out action sequences.”
--- Zombie Movie Database

“A delightful flick full of blood, guts, fighting, dead people, nudity, quirky scenes, zombie diners, zombie dinners, delectable language, and just crazy fun.”
--- OmegaCon Film Festival Review




SCREAM FARM was originally released on DVD and on cable under the title THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE, but I’m told that it is now going to be re-released under its original title (SCREAM FARM) to coincide with the release of the comic book.








All of this is “breaking news,” so it’s going to be a couple of months before we begin to see any artwork, but I’ll be sure to share some of it with the SCARS readers as I learn more.













In the meantime… I hope you enjoy these photos from the set of SCREAM FARM!

Hello, SCARS Readers!!
