Let’s be honest.  The title, Hairmetal Shotgun Zombie Massacre: The Movie screams “WATCH ME DAMMIT!” Watch it we will when the film gets a release date and distribution.  A mash-up of references to the classic hair bands and horror films of the 80’s, the HSZMTM promises, also a hint of This is Spinal Tap and Shawn of the Dead.

A hair metal band struggling to find its own identity decides to record its first full-length album in a creepy cabin located in the middle of a notorious cemetery. Chock full of weed, coke, and booze, the band discovers a secret in the cellar and unwittingly open a gate that allows demons to possess the corpses in the surrounding cemetery. Forced to have to survive the night and with the odds getting slimmer, the band must battle hordes of the demonic undead and hope to get a record deal.

Joshua Allan Vargas said in an interview, that the film stemmed from a “‘drunken joke’ of a movie that Justin (co-writer) and I would ramble about when we were wasted 11 years ago”. Of course, like the animated zombies outside the cabin, good ideas never die.  The seed was planted and the idea grew into a film.  While no release date has been set, the film has just released this trailer.

Rock ON!  We will keep you posted.
