Emmerdale’s Dominic Brunt and Mark Charnock (Paddy and Marlon) are Zombie obsessives. In fact much of their spare time is spent mulling over the conundrum of surviving a zombie holocaust. You may find this sad and nerdy, but you won’t be quite so smug as you see them looking down on you from their secure penthouse apartment far above the zombie-ridden city with glasses of wine in one hand and a big bit of cake in the other, watching your limbs being devoured by the undead hordes. No, mate. You won’t mock them then! You will envy their forward thinking as a zombie vicar runs off with your lower intestine!
Sorry. Began to rant a bit there. Anyway, in their fanboy wisdom they are putting together the first Leeds Zombie Film Festival at the City Varieties on April 20th. It’s all in aid of charity, namely WSPA (World Society for the Protection of Animals) and will be a great night out (but not for the whole family.) Dominic and Mark will give a short intro to each film and explain why it was chosen. The movies will be both old and new, giving fans of zombie culture a chance to see classics from the past on the big screen for the first time and some more recent contributions to the genre that may have passed many fans by.
It’s going to be BLOODY great. (See what we did there?) Come along for noon and leave at midnight, twitchy and paranoid, as you wonder what creatures may be lurking in the dark. And then wonder why you didn’t see the apocalypse coming like Dom and Mark did.
Envy them their wisdom. See you there, zombie lovers. (Not literally zombie lovers - that would be disgusting.)
THE FIRST LEEDS ZOMBIE FILM FESTIVAL
