What happened to all the chimps fired into space and lost?What if one came back a pissed off zombie?Find out in this B-horror gorefest!
June 11, 1969, a research chimp, JED, is launched into space. Tragically, JED's shuttle suffers a catastrophic meltdown and he is lost to the stars. As he sails across the heavens, a mysterious green light engulfs his floating metal sarcophagus and awakens JED's corpse from its slumber…
...Killer Zombie Monkey From Outer Space.
42 years later JED's ship returns to Earth, crash landing in Antarctica. It is discovered by a small group of US researchers stationed there. Unaware of the evil they will soon face, the crew brings the seemingly deceased chimp back to base. A NASA team is hastily deployed to join the crew and retrieve the shuttle and its pilot. The team is headed by an aged Dr. Enos, the same devious scientist that launched poor JED into space years ago. Before the team can collect their bounty the zombie chimp rises and begins his gory rampage, hunting down the crew one by one and passing the undead curse to his victims. The crew now find themselves trapped by the Antarctic weather in a blood-drenched fight for their lives against the ever-growing number of flesh hungry zombies and a deranged Dr. Enos hell-bent on concealing the dark secrets of JED’s heinous resurrection.
Read the first two chapters of the script here: Chapters 1 and 2.
"Killer Zombie Monkey From Outer Space," follows in line with classic B-horror from the 50's and 60's but with new age gore and wit. The story is jammed pack with blood curdling gore, suspense, pop culture, screamingly hilarious dark humor...and of course nudity. (You can't have B-horror without some nudity...just ask Roger Corman.)
Your Help:
The script is completed and now we are asking for your help to turn it into the graphic novel it deserves to be. We are looking to create a full color ebook, with a limited amount of printed copies for backers. The book itself will be over 100 pages of amazing zombie gore and humor. Funding will go toward supplies, software, printing, fulfilling rewards and other production expenses.
We have asked for the bare minimum of 9,000, but ideally we are looking for more. For all your help we have come up with some awesome (yeah I said awesome!) swag for backers. If we surpass our goal we can up the awesome with more rewards like hats, key chains, hard covers, etc. Please Like us on Facebook, and wish us luck with the project.
NOW ON TWITTER TOO.
Thank you.
