Episode 5 Viewing on April 13th!

What's up, fellow Zombie Hunters!

MNN (Manhattan Neighborhood Network) will be premiering Episode 5 of "Zombie Hunters: City Of The Dead" on Monday, April 13th, at 11pm. This episode shows what the Hunters do after one of their own gets shot in a weapons deal gone bad, and features great music by Bernadette McCallion and NYC's own Kissy Kamikaze!

NOW, if you're happy to be safe, snug, and at home in Manhattan to watch it, that's great. By all means, enjoy! BUT - they'll ALSO be showing it at The Perfect Pint, 203 East 45th Street bet 2nd and 3rd Avenues, on the 3rd floor of the bar, on the same night ...same time. So, if you'd like to meet members of the cast and crew, they'll be there from 9:30 onward, so try to make it down and hang with us for the Manhattan premiere! And who knows? There might even be some Season One DVDs floating around!

We've also got an Episode 7 clip up on YouTube. Check it out here!

Rondo Awards and a New Convention Appearance!

Hello all!

First off, I'm excited to announce that we came in third place in the 2008 Rondo Awards for Best Independent Feature. We placed right behind the one and only Christopher Walken reciting The Raven for an animated feature, so this is pretty great news to us. We're getting there, guys, we're getting there! So thank you all for voting for us, and here's to next years Rondo's! To see all the winners, go to http://www.rondoaward.com.

My many thanks also for the support of the Cult Radio A GoGo family of shows and stars, and especially to Corpse S. Chris of HorrorHostGraveyard.Com, who helped is get nominated to begin with! You guys should all check out Chris' site, and CRAGG on Saturday nights at http://www.cultradioagogo.com.

In other news, we're doing something pretty damn cool this weekend. On Saturday, March 28th, we'll be showing Episode 1 at The Institute of Horror, Fantasy & Science Fiction Convention, in the Flushing Queens Library at 41-17 Main st. Flushing . The event itself starts at 12:00 noon in the main theater, with the art gallery opening around 11:30 a.m. They will be showing Zombie Hunters at around 3:00 p.m., and then have a Q&A session with the cast.

The Con is sponsored by Blood Moon Rising magazine, which just did an interview with us and a review of our first DVD. The new issue, Blood Moon Rising #37, is now online, and you can see it by going to www.BloodMoonRisingMagazine.com; click the cover icon on the left hand side bar to bring you into the mag. Once you're inside, look for (Interviews) and the (Graveyard Cinema) to see both things about the show. This is a brand-new convention for us and I'm sure it's going to be a good one.

Hope to see you guys on Saturday, bring as many people as you'd like! And as always, Happy Hunting!

Some Pictures from Saturday's Shoot

What's up, zombie fans? We had our shoot for "The Cure" episode this past Saturday, and it went really well. We not only had a huge cast of zombies waiting for their headshots, but were lucky enough to have Vinny from Sci Fi Ninja Theater and Tibbie X from Kissy Kamikaze spending the day and joining the team. Check out some pictures from the day:

Patrick and the crew get some technical direction under control.

New Year, New Zombies!

Hi guys! 2008 was a great year for Zombie Hunters: City of the Dead. Let's take a little trip through the year that was, to catch you up:

- Not only did we premiere on QPTV, but we ended the year playing in Manhattan (Channel 67) and Brooklyn (Channel 56 if you've got Time Warner, Channel 69 if you've got Cablevision). We were on the radio with Ron and Fez and Cult Radio A Go Go, and we were at the Chiller Theatre convention (you may have caught us on Sci Fi Ninja Theatre!).

- We were reviewed on podcasts like the ever-awesome Mail Order Zombie (more on that coming up) and on sites like The Jaded Viewer, and made some more new friends along the way.

All in all, it was a crazy, fantastic, amazing year. And 2009 is only going to get better! Stick with us - we're going places!
