Zomblog in Top 10 Horror List of 2021 Shocker!
We thought we’d wrapped up the year with all we had left to celebrate but apparently not thanks to Love Horror, who’ve included us in their Top 10 Horror Films of 2021! This is a huge deal for us, particularly since the list also includes such trailblazing peers as Censor‘s Prano Bailey-Bond and Host and […]
Movie Production Blog #16: The Long Hot Summer
Ah, summer, bringing with it the boiling sunshine, the hot, uncomfortable nights alive with the sound of casual fighting in the street outside and hordes of shambling, drunken tourists flocking to small English towns. A bit like the zombie apocalypse, then. It’s also a time when the Zomblogalypse team have been slowly, steadily working on […]
Movie Production Blog #13: Location Scouting
Today we went on a preliminary location scout round our beautiful home town of York. We’ve filmed just about every corner of this city while making CrimeFighters and Whoops!, not to mention the Zomblog web series. Practically everywhere we look is a location we’ve used. At least, almost. The Zomblogalypse movie (which incidentally is now […]
Movie Production Blog #11: Cannes You Dig It?
WE DID IT! With your help we managed to raise about £9,000 to start making the Zomblog film! This is no small feat. About 150 people donated and hundreds more showed support by sharing, tweeting and pimping the campaign to a triumphant degree and the result is… WE’RE OFF TO CANNES! But what does that actually […]
Movie Production Blog #10: Press Roundup!
Here’s a roundup of the last few weeks of publicity we’ve had from some lovely folk during our IndieGoGo campaign to get to Cannes!

MOVIE PRODUCTION BLOG #7: LOSING THE PLOT
Making a feature version of our web series was never going to be straightforward. The premise of Zomblogalypse – three friends blog the zombie apocalypse – is pretty simple, but only when you’re making ten-or-so minute episodes for the web. You can start the episode, do a few jokes, meet a few characters, explode a […]
MOVIE PRODUCTION BLOG #5: Script Treatment Complete!
And so, after a very intense month in which our Producer Steve Piper – we should start calling him Producer Piper – went to Cannes to stake out the possibility of a Zomblog movie, as well as various other film projects; after dozens of meetings and emails and at least 30 drafts, the Zomblogalypse The […]
MOVIE PRODUCTION BLOG #4: Script Treatment & New Website
THE NEW WEBSITE IS LIVE! Bloody wonderful job by Mr. Marcus Wilson who runs the excellent web company Pooka.Pro (and who also happens to be my oldest friend. As in, I’ve known him since we were five, not that he’s terribly old or anything… don’t look at me! – Miles). When we started Zomblog, we wanted […]
