Horror Channel’s favourite queen of screams, Emily Booth, is also set to
star in a post-apocalyptic horror thriller, SHED OF THE DEAD, directed by
Drew Cullingham, which will shoot later on in the year.
Emily
said today: “I've always loved those bleak bold films that explore mankind's
own destruction - it's a very potent theme so I'm really looking forward to our
new Apocalypse season and more importantly introducing such amazing films like
Planet Terror and The Day from a genuine ex RAF military base! Plus, I'm going
to be appearing in a new UK zombie apocalypse film, but do I survive? Watch
this space”.
