AICN EXCLUSIVE!!
Sandman Thomas Haden Church Introduces Sam Raimi’s New Web Series ZOMBIE ROADKILL!!

FEARnet can’t post this until Monday. But we’ve got it right now:

I am – Hercules!! I’m told the series will screen next month at Austin’s premiere film festival, Fantastic Fest, before it arrives on FEARnet.com on Oct. 4. It was directed by producer Grant Curtis’ “Spider-Man 3” assistant David Green from a screenplay by screenwriter Alvin Sargent’s “Spider-Man 3” assistant Henry Gayden. It’s from “Spider-Man 3” director Sam Raimi’s Ghost House Pictures, the same outfit behind the “Grudge” movies and “Drag Me To Hell.” From the press release:

Academy-Award nominated actor Thomas Haden Church (Spider-Man 3, Sideways, Wings) co-stars as a tough as nails Park Ranger who teams with an unsuspecting teenager, played by David Dorfman (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Ring films), to escape a cursed stretch of highway that resurrects roadkill in the form flesh eating zombie animals. This new breed of terror is not just playing dead. Zombie Roadkill centers around a group of college kids as they are driving on an unfamiliar road. Everything seems fit for a road trip to the lake but, when the group accidentally runs over an unsuspecting squirrel, they quickly realize there will be a price to pay. The cursed road brings the zombie squirrel back.
