FEARnet Hits the Road in ‘Zombie Roadkill’

FEARnet brings critter carnage back to life in Zombie Roadkill, their newest original program set to air Spring 2010 on the website and the FEARnet On Demand VOD network. Creepy creatures will be resurrected in six, 4-5 minute episodes directed by David Green.

“Academy-Award nominated actor Thomas Haden Church co-stars as a tough as nails Park Ranger who teams with an unsuspecting teenager, played by David Dorfman, to escape a cursed stretch of highway that resurrects roadkill in the form flesh eating zombie animals. This new breed of terror is not just playing dead.

Zombie Roadkill centers around a group of college kids as they are driving on an unfamiliar road. Everything seems fit for a road trip to the lake but, when the group accidentally runs over an unsuspecting squirrel, they quickly realize there will be a price to pay. The cursed road brings the zombie squirrel back to life to haunt the kids. After the kids crash and everyone is injured except the younger brother, he is forced to set out on a journey to defeat the ancient curse and save his brother and friends before it is too late.”

Creature effects are being done by Frank Langley and Tom Bacho of Quantum FX (Where the Wild Things Are, Star Trek, Watchmen). With Thomas Haden Church (Spider-man 3, Sideways) and David Dorfman (The Ring, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre) in the leads and nasty, zombie animals do you see another successful series for FEARnet?
