There's no shortage of independent horror news sent our way and we're back with another edition of the Indie Spotlight. Today, we have information on a short film from the makers of DeadHeads, a limited run of Geeks vs. Zombies, and much more:
Geeks vs. Zombies: "Four geeks have survived the initial onsluaght of the zombie apocalypse and continue to survive based on their knowledge of all things zombie. They find themselves in an abandoned civil war fort where they run into another group of survivors… but not quite the geeks they are.
As the fort is surrounded by zombies and the zombies start to get in the fort, the geeks must decide what their next step is. Everyone knows that when two groups join up in a zombie movie, it means people are going to die. Do the geeks abandon these new people, kill them, or what? In this new world of zombies, the geek is king and these new people could destroy all that."
The show is located at The Ruby Theatre in Hollywood and plays Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays at 8pm and Sundays at 7pm until September 23rd. For more information, visit: http://www.seatofyourpantsproductions.com/

Smush! - A DeadHeads Short Film: If you enjoyed the indie zombie comedy DeadHeads, you'll be interested in Smush!, a short film from the same creative team that just premiered at FrightFest:
"The Pierce Brothers (Brett & Drew Pierce) of FroBro Films are proud to announce that “SMUSH!” a short comedy/horror film starring Markus Taylor (DeadHeads), Travis Betz (Lo, The Dead Inside), Greg Dow (DeadHeads), and new-comer, 7 year old Georgia Rose
Matlack (Horror House) will get it’s world premiere screening at the 13th prestigious FILM4 FrightFest on Saturday August 25th, before the premiere of OUTPOST 2: Black Sun.
“Smush! – a DeadHeads Short” is the tale of a little girl left home alone amid a zombie outbreak, who makes unlikely friends with a flesh-starved intruder.
“We were homesick for DeadHeads. We missed the crew, the cast, and the characters so we got the old team together, went out in the woods, and got the cops called on us for old times sake. There’s nothing more fun than making movies,” says Brett Pierce, one half of the writer/director brother duo.
“Smush!” is a short film prequel of the zombie comedy hit DeadHeads that screened at FILM4 FrightFest last year and was released on DVD/Blu-Ray in January. It features fan-favorite zombie, Cheese, in an early misadventure."
We've included photos from Smush! below and hope to have more screening and release details in the near future.
