Zombies Enter the Video Vortex Tonight at the Alamo Drafthouse

The Alamo Drafthouse Yonkers is pulling out their VHS copy of Zombie Army for a screening in their Video Vortex series tonight.

Directed by Betty Stapleford and written by Roger Scearce, Zombie Army, released in 1991, was shot on video in Delaware and Pennsylvania.

Alamo Drafthouse says:

"It features exploding heads, guts-thrown-on-walls, samurai sword attacks, tiny tanks being driven through tiny hallways, two randos having awkward sex in a bunker, and songs with titles like “Stinky Loving” and “You Zlay Me.” Plus, when the initial batch of soldiers is obliterated by the legion of gut-chompers, the government calls in an all-women battle squad to do the job right. This makes ZOMBIE ARMY the first -- and only -- feminist shot-on-video zombie movie!"

The Alamo Drafthouse Yonkers is located at 2548 Central Park Avenue in Yonkers, NY. You can buy tickets at the box office or online.

Emily has the vision and her mom has the driver’s license. Together, their journey is an enlightening look at a growing world of young moviemakers and the bloodiest mother/daughter story you’ve ever seen. - ZombieGirlTheMovie.com

Hagins began writing her feature in 2004 and had it completed by 2006, when it premiered at the Alamo Drafthouse.
