We posted earlier that Abraham Lincoln Vs Zombies has started filming in Savannah, GA. Well we have just received confirmation that they are in need of more zombie extras for THIS Thursday – February 2nd 2012.

If you are interested in being an extra in the film make sure you send resumes and headshots to emancipatethedead@gmail.com and do so ASAP. It’s only a couple days away and I’m sure the spots will fill up quickly.

There are a few things to keep in mind though:

• The filming will take place on February 2nd, from 12:00pm to 6pm
• Participation is on a volunteer basis only
• We cannot accept any neon colored hair due to the film taking place in the 1860s
• You must have a pair of black shoes that you can wear to set on Thursday. Tennis shoes are okay if they are all black, but preferably dress type shoes or boots.
• Dinner will be provided

We won’t post on every zombie contest that we see but Dead Wait’s Zombie Apocalypse Survival Plan sounds like an absolute blast. It’s a bit vague on the exact prizes (and I doubt they include their cool nail filled zombie bashing stick) but it’s a fun contest to actually enter if you have some time to do it. Hope it’s enough time for some of our readers to come up with something interesting and submit it to Dead Wait!

Everyone has a plan for what they’ll do when the undead take over the world and we want to know yours! So we are having a contest to see which of our fans know how best to avoid getting their brains eaten by the undead!

How to enter:
1) Create a YouTube video telling us what exactly you’re going to do when facing the Zombie Apocalypse.

2) Share it on our facebook wall.

3) Get everyone you know to go to the Dead Wait facebook page and “like” your video and share it on their walls with “Dead Wait- The Web Series” tagged in their post..

4) The video with the most “likes” and shares by midnight on February 10th will be crowned our new Zombie King or Queen! His or her highness will win two free tickets to the Bloody Valentine Ball, where they will be crowned in a coronation ceremony of Zombie Awesomness on the Record Bar Stage!

We haven’t forgotten about our fans outside of the Kansas City area. You still qualify!! We’ll broadcast your filmed crown acceptance speech for the crowd at the Bloody Valentine Ball and ship you your crown and a Dead Wait goodie bag of Zombie Awesomeness.

Rules:
1) Winning entries cannot use any copyrighted materials.
2) Videos must conform to all of YouTube and Facebook content guidelines.
3) Entries, shares and “likes” must be submitted by February 10th at Midnight CST.

Now, get to making those videos, people! Let us know how you’ll survive the Zombie Apocalypse!

I missed this last year and that was really depressing. Fortunately it’s back in Chicago and I may just have to make some free time to head out to this with my wife. It’ll be a night of culture and something I can review. A perfect mix!

Back for a second bloody year, this “Musical Zom-com” (zombie comedy), Musical of the Living Dead is an original musical parody of classic zombie films and musical theatre. Featuring music inspired by everything from Gershwin to Green Day, Musical of the Living Dead follows the lives of ten very different people trapped in a farmhouse during the breakout of a zombie apocalypse. They are all brought together seeking refuge from the brain-eating zombies outside and, following classic zombie genre rules, we see who gets eaten, who comes back to eat someone else and who lives to fight another day.

Musical of the Living Dead features several sequences of carnage – each one more visceral than the last. This year the cast will be bloodier…the first few rows of the audience will be bloodier…and everyone will have a bloody good time – laughing and being horrified all at the same time

You can find out more and order tickets at Musical Of The Living Dead’s Website.
