If you enjoyed the indie zombie comedy DeadHeads, you’ll be interested in SMUSH!, a short film prequel from the same creative team. The short premiered this past August at FrightFest and is now online for all to watch:
“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.”
