Uploaded a video about writing Attack of the Zombie Vampires
The original inspiration for attack of the zombie vampires or zompires came years ago when I had an idea for a series of short films.
They were a parody of a Van Helsing type character who would disguise himself as a typical victim and after defeating the monster loudly proclaim 'the menace has been defeated'.
I can remember wanting to call one of them 'the phantom menace' and having a chuckle about the thought of someone clicking on the video and instead of enjoying a George Lucas epic they would see this strange little movie instead.
Yes, I have a pretty weird sense of humour.
I never made the films but the idea of the character stuck and after having various discussions about what a vampire / zombie hybrid might be like, I had the seed of what became 'Attack of the zombie vampires'.
It was always going to be slightly comedic because it just sounds like some trashy straight to video flick from the 1980s and probably reads like one too.
I enjoyed writing it and there is definitely potential for a wider universe there.
Maybe some day.
Until next time.
