Rumor has it that the Beatles will be back on screen … again … as zombies. Supposedly Double Feature, the people who produced Pulp Fiction and other hits, have secured the rights to Paul is Undead, Alan Goldsher’s delectable mash-up of a flesh-eating Fab Four.
The plot is standard zombie fare, which means plenty of brains; this time it’s the fans’. Of course zombie John Lennon has to kill Paul McCartney first, then the whole band can come back as the undead dining on the zombie’s favorite fare even as zombie killer, Mick Jagger, tries to hunt them down.
No, I am not making this up. As I have told you again and again, the FACTS are far stranger than any fiction. Yes, the Beatles as zombies—lest you think that zombies are not a craze as mad as the best of them. The thing about zombies is: They don’t go away.
I tried to warn you, Andy and Peter and … well, you know who you are. And if you didn’t see this one coming you might have missed the trailer.
Zombies, zombies, zombies … zombiemania … whew.
