This is an appeal for zombies of all shapes and sizes to attend the shooting of the fifth installment of the Houseparty series. If you've ever fancied being part of the zombocalypse, now's your chance, as we're going to need a veritable horde. No previous undead experience necessary, as we will have alumni from Shaun of the Dead and Dead Set on hand to help ease you into groaning, shuffling and decaying. Drinking heavily the night before helps.
I will be providing make-up and costuming on the day, but we are on a shoestring (read:zero) budget, so if you can please bring old clothes that you don't mind getting bloody and torn. Be as creative as you can - zombies come from all walks of life and a horde featuring an undead lollipop lady, soldier, hospital patient and nun looks a lot better onscreen than a bunch of bloodied-up twentysomethings in jeans and T-shirts. Besides, you'll most likely be in a crowd shot and you'll want to pick yourself out.
Limited booze will be provided, but please feel free to bring your own. There'll be a fair bit of standing around, and no-one minds too much if the zombies are a bit unsteady on their feet.
Also, if you're into FX and make-up, or desperately want experience as a runner on a shoestring budget youTube horror flick, please get in touch or just come along as well - the more the merrier.
Everyone involved will receive a credit in the finished movie, which will be released on youTube in due course. Subsequently, the best place to catch up with other recovering zombies is the Paranoid Android Films group on facebook.

There's also a nice pub called the Oakdale down the road, who have said that they are zombie-friendly, and who serve real ale at decent prices.
Thanks very much to everyone who's coming...bring a friend if you can, the more the merrier :)
