Patrick
Griffin of Griffin Studios LA and Committed Artists Entertainment is teaming up
with Maria Olsen of MOnsterworks66 to bring kids and zombie lovers alike the
brand new web / TV series Our Zombie Mother!
Post-production
is just getting way on the pilot episode of this hilariously horrific new
series, which introduces us to the world of Jon and Wendy and tells us what
happens when two kids wake up to find their mother has suddenly become a
zombie, and they are forced to quickly cope with the curious consequences.
Both
Griffin and Olsen have been incredibly active in the film scene over the last
couple of years, with Griffin scoring movies and TV series such as the
Emmy-winning Dan Vs and the action-packed Renegade Force. This is, however, the
first time he’s taken the reigns, and Our Zombie Mother, which promises to both
tease and terrify, is entirely his concept.
Of
the two, it is Olsen – and MO66 – that has been most active in the horror world
and has, over the last eighteen months alone, partnered up to produce several
features including Seth Metoyer’s Squeal: Blood Harvest (pre-production),
Brandon Scullion’s Live-In Fear and Christopher Dye’s Something Sinister (both
in post-production), Carl Lindbergh’s Blood Angel (development) as well as the
web / TV series Edward Payson’s Sunday Night Slaughters (filming). Olsen, who
is best known for her turn as Mrs Dodds / The Fury in Fox’s Percy Jackson and
The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, has also worked alongside and learned from
horror icons like Bill Oberst Jr, Lynn Lowry and Rob Zombie. She also
absolutely adores playing the challengingly non-verbal title role that Griffin
has created for her in Our Zombie Mother.
Supporting
Olsen are both Tyler and Naomi Griffin, and, as of Friday the 13th of September, Tyler will be extremely
well known the world over for his pivotal role in James Wan’s Insidious: Chapter
2. Naomi, whose hobbies include writing Xena: Warrior Princess fan fiction,
may, at the moment, have fewer credits to her name than her industrious
brother, but is still a name to watch.
Our
Zombie Mother might be a series that’s specifically aimed at pleasing the
youngsters, but it does have scares enough to enchant all zombie lovers - it IS
rated DD (Double Digits: 10 AND UP) after all – and it will also engage kids’
parents as anyone of us could turn into a zombie at any time, right?? The
show’s tagline “BRAINS Before Beauty” says it all!
Eerie
and amusing, creepy and comical, Our Zombie Mother is sure to be a hit among
the World War Z, The Walking Dead and the Shaun of the Dead zombie-loving army.
Promotional trailers will be released sequentially on Youtube so be sure to
subscribe to the fanatical horromedy of it all!
