Frontman of the popular horror rock band Living Dead Island, Peter Thorndike, has intrigued his fanbase by announcing his pivot to filmmaking with his upcoming zombie horror feature, Plaguepits.

UPDATE: Peter Thorndike’s zombie feature PLAGUEPITS, due to start filming in the spring, is so stoked to welcome the tremendously talented Bill Hutchens to its cast.  Bill starred in HUMAN CENTIPEDE II and HUMAN CENTIPEDE III as well as CURSE OF THE BLIND DEAD, the eagerly-awaited latest movie in the classic TOMBS OF THE BLIND DEAD zombie franchise created by cult auteur Amando de Ossorio.  Bill is also the star of Kasper Juhl’s powerful 2017 horror classic,  YOUR FLESH, YOUR CURSE.   

Thorndike studied under the great Ken Russell (The Devils,  Lair of the White Worm) at Southampton Solent University,  and is now applying his talents in creating the FX make-up and other assorted special effects for his first feature. With funding now secured, and shooting scheduled for spring 2020, Thorndike hopes to surprise his fans with his new artistic endeavor.
