“The Walking Dead” Versus Queen’s “Another One Bites The Dust”
It’s amazing just how much of the internet passes us by, especially things that are perfect for the BD audience. Such is the case with The Hillywood Show‘s parody video of The Walking Dead, which is essentially a music video for Queen‘s “Another One Bites The Dust”, only packed to the brim with gore.
What’s great about this video is that the makeup and practical FX are damn good! They went and used real blood squibs, which makes everything look super juicy and, actually, quite beautiful when spraying violently everywhere.

For this brand new season, Killer Shorts is expanding its categories to include feature-length screenplays alongside its traditional short script, one-page script, and short story divisions.
