We got linked to this trailer for an upcoming Zombie Musical (yes, really!) on Twitter and it seriously blew our minds.

What to think about ‘Rigamortis: A Zombie Love Story’? Well, the best way I can describe it is Dr. Horrible meets Zombies. And it looks seriously Zombie Friendly!

The story:

After humanity quells an undead uprising, the last two remaining zombies pair up
in search of sanctuary, but instead find love.

Rigamortis takes place shortly after humanity has put down a recent zombie outbreak. The last two zombies left “undead” are looking for their place in the world, while one lonely zombie hunter’s newfound fame and glory can’t fill the hole in his heart left by the recent loss of his now undead love. The characters are forced to confront zombies, angry mobs, double-barreled shotguns, and an ever-dangerous thing called love, until fate brings them all face to face in an explosive finale.

Can the zombies avoid a gruesome second death at the hands of chainsaw-wielding mob and find a place in which they can live in peace? Can the zombie hunter complete his quest and rid the world of zombies, or will his past relationship with his prey cause him to falter? Can any of them hit the high notes?

Check this out:

The trailer is amazing, jaw-dropping. The Zombies are the good guys! The Zombie hunter comes off as a misguided zealot, a bit Captain Hammer-esque too (again, reminding me of great things is not bad). However, according to the synopsis we get to see the story from both sides of the Living/Undead divide, a divide that the ZRC is well aware can only be bridged through tolerance and mutual self-respect.

Violent, shotgun-wielding ‘apocalypses’ don’t serve anyone’s best interests. We suggest that people read pamphlets, attend get-togethers and try to work out their differences peacefully.

Perhaps by screening this movie. We’re so incredibly excited, and hopeful, to see the final result here at the ZRC.

So very, very hopeful.
