Camp St. Zombie is a horror / comedy hybrid sure to please genre fans with a mixture of over-the-top gore, dark humor, and other staples of classic exploitation cinema. 

Our film will tell the story of St. Lazarus, a camp for wayward children run by the Catholic Church. After two inept military soldiers dump a barrel of toxic waste into the lake, the children begin mutating into flesh-hungry zombies. Now a young priest and the rest of the camp counselors must defend themselves against a horde of undead children.

MEET OUR ZOMBIES!

We know a horror movie lives and dies on the strength of its monsters. It takes more to create a memorable zombie than finding an actor with bad balance and covering him in gray face paint. We're collaborating with some of the most talented makeup and conceptual artists currently working in independent film.
