‘Zombie Girl’ Doc Gets DVD Release This November!
After winning the Spirit Award at the Slamdance Film Festival and playing before enthusiastic audiences at Comic-Con, Hot Docs, AFI Dallas, Fantastic Fest, and the Mill Valley Film Festival, ZOMBIE GIRL: THE MOVIE is now coming to a store near you. The is a MUST-SEE documentary about the passion of making horror – even at the young age of 12!
A documentary LA Weekly says “has raw passion and real spirit,” ZOMBIE GIRL: THE MOVIE tells the story of 12-year-old filmmaker Emily Hagins and the two years she spent directing her feature-length zombie movie, PATHOGEN. Bitten by the movie bug at a young age, Emily wrote to Peter Jackson — of LORD OF THE RINGS fame — letting him know about her aspirations. Jackson put her in touch with fellow Austin resident and legendary film guru, Harry Knowles, who introduced her to the zombie genre. With that, Emily had found her muse.
ZOMBIE GIRL: THE MOVIE is a coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of the explosive new world of youth filmmaking. Eric Kohn at IndieWire says it “proves that there is no age limit on cinematic expression.” It’s the quintessential film for any family with a child who says, “I want to make a movie!”
With the help of her mother as agent, crew, and biggest fan, Emily launches an epic adventure in filmmaking. She uses all the digital tools available to her tech-savvy generation, and along the way battles everything from budget shortfalls to self doubt — all while coming of age as a teenager. Rick Warner from the Bloomberg Press calls it a “funny, tender look at her journey as a first-time director.”
The dvd release of ZOMBIE GIRL: THE MOVIE includes Emily’s completed, feature-length zombie movie, PATHOGEN. A portion of each sale goes to support Emily’s filmmaking efforts, which include her recently begun third feature film. She is shooting it this summer and plans to finish post-production throughout the year (as her school and homework schedules permit).
Included in the DVD are:
Pathogen (Emily’s movie)
Q&A at Pathogen Premier
Interview on Emily’s second feature “The Retelling”
Interview with Emily for her Third Film

‘Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story’ Slashes into VHS from Lunchmeat!
The SCREAMBOX Original documentary Hollywood Dreams & Nightmares: The Robert Englund Story is now streaming on SCREAMBOX, and it’s next coming to VHS!
A limited edition of only 50 copies worldwide, the VHS copies of the Englund documentary will go up for grabs on Saturday, April 27 at 12pm EST on Lunchmeat’s official website.
Josh Schafer of Lunchmeat explains, “With so many of Englund’s works being seen and familiarized on videotape, it only felt right to offer fans and collectors the opportunity to experience this fantastic doc on VHS. We all know the Freddy movies just feel different on videocassette, and we wanted to bring that feel to this film for those who want it.”
“Since first donning a tattered fedora and a glove of eviscerating blades in 1984, Robert Englund has become a beloved horror icon. His portrayal of Freddy Krueger is without doubt a moment as visceral to the horror genre as Chaney’s werewolf or Karloff’s groundbreaking realization of Frankenstein’s monster. However, few realize the depths of Englund’s true power as a character actor away from the latex mask and iconic red and green sweater.
“A classically trained actor and director, Robert Englund has become one of the most revolutionary horror icons of our generation.. This unique and intimate portrait captures the man behind the glove and features interviews with Englund and his wife Nancy, Lin Shaye, Eli Roth, Tony Todd, Heather Langenkamp, and more.
“This is the quintessential documentary on the man who didn’t just bring Freddy Krueger to horrific and historic life on-screen and beyond, but has created a fantastic career as an elite actor and entertainer.”
Selling for $30, the VHS is presented in native widescreen format & duplicated in NTSC, housed in full-color slipcase and pressed on black videocassettes with silver foil face and side labels.
The VHS release is presented in partnership with Cineverse, Bloody Disgusting, and Screambox, in association with Dead Mouse Productions and Cult Screenings U.K.
