Zombies are so hot right now, with entries in a local movie-making competition proving the undead are still a rich source of ideas for up-and-coming filmmakers.
Zombies on a Boat, Street of the Dead, Nazi Zombies and Zombies and Combies are all
entries in Make My Movie, a competition offering the chance for local filmmakers to win $100,000 towards making their dream movie.
The winner will be the person or team that comes up with the best pitch and poster art for a movie they'd like to see made, as judged by a panel of industry experts. Public votes will also be incorporated into the final decision.
Of the 211 posters entered since the competition began two weeks ago, documentaries and horror films - especially those starring zombies - are proving to be popular topics.
On the horror side of things, there's Sandman (tagline: "What if a game could release hell?"), Zombies on a Boat ("If you can't run, you can't hide") and the recession-themed tale Slaughter on the Slopes ("When the cost of living gets too high sometimes we have to cut some of our luxuries").
