Yes, Anti-Zombie movies are cropping up everywhere, and the Independent film world is chock-full of aspiring filmmakers who want to make their mark in part by demonstrating that they, too, don’t like the Differently Animated.

RIVERTON, Kan. — If zombies are spotted outside of Riverton this spring and summer, the likely explanation is that they are actors in the zombie apocalypse comedy “Zompocalypso.”

“The Midwest isn’t just a collection of flyover states on your way to the coasts. It’s America’s heartland, and it’s alive with stories,” reads the Corn Bred website.

Anderson said improvisational actors Chris Meister and Mike Manship play rural brothers Dale and Darren in the movie.

We’ll keep an eye out for further developments.
