R.L. Stine is back on the big screen with Zombie Town this weekend, a family-friendly horror movie that’ll be playing exclusively in movie theaters on September 1, 2023.
A tale of teens battling the undead, Zombie Town is based on a 2012 book written by Stine. Dan Aykroyd and Chevy Chase star in the comedy-horror movie.
To whet your appetite, you can check out an exclusive clip from Zombie Town below. The clip marks the arrival of Dan Aykroyd’s character, an infamous filmmaker.
Aykroyd tells BD, “Union guidelines and solidarity with my fellow artists constrain me from publicizing story elements of films in which I am involved. But I can speak for the professionalism, skill, talents, commitment and dedication of our Sudbury, Ontario crew who did everything they could to serve the director in making a worthy addition to the R. L. Stine series of funny, scary stories and working with Henry Czerny and the whole cast was a treat. Can’t say anymore. I guess everyone will just have to go and see Zombie Town to find out.”
In the film, “Amy (Madi Monroe) and Mike (Marlon Kazadi) uncover a centuries-old secret when they decide to watch an exclusive film reel. Before they know it, their town has been turned to the undead before their eyes. The duo must track down an infamous filmmaker (Dan Akroyd) and navigate a town of hungry zombies to break the curse before it’s too late.”
Peter Lepeniotis directed the film, which was recently shooting in Ontario.
Peter Lepeniotis, Michael Samonek, and Michael Schwartz wrote the screenplay.
Zombie Town was published in 2012. You can pick up a copy right here.
