"You know, I've always liked the monster within idea. I liked the zombies being us; it's like, zombies are the blue collar monsters."
A blue streak of lightning struck down behind the towering image of a lighthouse, illuminating the artic scenery of the frozen Siberia area. Flakes drifted around in the cold chill of the night, the lighthouses light being the only source of warmth in this cold hell.
A creature walked slowly, its arms stuck out as it groaned hungrily. Blood was evident around its mouth, with few tears and rips in the clothing it had on.
Raising his mighty arm with his trademark machete in hand, he swiftly let it fly down as he decapitated the monsters head off with one clean cut. The head flew into the air, landing behind him as he held machetes in both hands and looked at the numbers dwelling around them.
"We're completely surrounded!" He shouted, as a scraggy and older looking man came from behind him holding a pitchfork.
"We're completely fucked!" The man shouted while jabbing forward at an incoming zombie, impaling it as he pushed it even further into its stomach.
With a shot coming from within the barrel to the end, he blew the head off a zombie as it tried rushing at him, shooting another blast from the second shotgun double barreled shotgun he held as he gave them a warning.
"Are you girls kidding me? I've been praying for this shit, come on!"
With a mighty kick, the zombie flew backwards as it fell out of the front doors to the lighthouse. Falling down the stairs as it broke its neck, the woman walked forward, revealing her figure as she took a good look at the corpse and scoffed.
"Boys, let's get to work."
Danny held his machetes firmly as the zombies rushed forward, anticipating there movement as he moved quickly, decapitating one zombie with the right machete as he turned around to cut down another one with the left. Another zombie ran toward him as he quickly swung the blade and ended its life with the same result.
Robert stabbed his pitchfork into the upper abdomen as the zombie screeched in pain, walking forward as he dug the fork deeper into its flesh and pushed it off, letting it fall to the floor as it died.
Michael pointed the shotgun at the walking corpses head, pulling the trigger as a burst of blood and bits of its brain flew out and he tried to knock back a zombie at his left side with the butt of his shotgun. He tried it as he completely missed and the creature screamed before shrugging as it became annoyed with him.
"For god's sake, you missed me again!" the zombie who actually turned out to be an actor lashed at Rooker.
Michael sighed as he dropped his arms to his side, exhaling as the director called a cut on the scene.
"Oh… cut!" Director George Romero said as he got up from his seat and walked towards the actors. As he did so, the others playing the zombies got up too as they decided to work on their role a bit more, since they'd obviously have to do it again.
"Are you blind man?" Romero sarcastically asked Rooker as he jerked one of the shotguns from his hand and proceeded to show him how to do the part. "Like this."
With that, he bashed Robert in the face with the butt of the gun before turning around and saying, "See?"
"Ow" Was all that Robert could say as he held his nose, drawing his hand away to see if he was starting to bleed. Unbelievably not.
"No heffey, I do it like this." Danny said as he hit Robert on the top of his head.
"Danny!" Robert said as he grunted once more in pain, mumbling about his fellow actors as they started to tease him.
"I do it like this." Sarah said as she quickly turned around and did a spin kick into Roberts face, sending him flying onto the ground as he shouted once more in a moment of pain.
He clumsily lifted his head up, tilted his hat back straight as he was dazed from the repeated hits to his head. However, a shadowy figure appeared from behind Robert, climbing out of the window to the right of the lighthouses entrance.
It appeared to be another one of the actors, dressed in their makeup and zombie attire it seemed. Romero took a good look at him as the actor did his best zombie groan impression. Impressive, but the costume seemed a little off for George.
"Get back to hair and makeup, you don't look dead enough."
The actor stood there, staring blankly at the godfather of all things zombie as his expression was emotionless. George took another look at him, wondering how he managed to get the makeup to make it look like the lower portion of his jaw was actually missing.
"C'mon man, let's go." A fellow actor said to the standing one as he placed his hand on his shoulder, beginning to steer him to the right as he snarled in defiance.
With a mighty roar, he tossed the man aside, screaming as he plummeted into the freezing snow on the ground. George turned around, looking at the now violent actor as he screamed in a harsh and bloodthirsty voice, as he saw the glowing eyes he had.
Normal human eyes were not yellow.
Even more, he realized that it wasn't makeup; this guy was actually missing his lower jaw! And to add more, he wasn't an actor, he was a real zombie.
A REAL zombie.
The zombie sprinted towards Romero, grabbing and lifting him over his shoulders as the undead creature ran to the railing to the right of the lighthouse, jumping over it and into the freezing water below, bringing the godfather of zombies along with him.
The star actors, Danny Trejo, Robert Englund, Sarah Michelle Geller, and Michael Rooker couldn't have made much sense of what they just saw, thinking it was another one of Romero's amazing stunts and stuff like that, but they soon realized that something was wrong since Romero usually never did this kind of thing out of the blue.
"That ain't in the script." Michael was the first to bluntly point that out. Luckily, George had dropped the shotgun he'd taken from as he pumped the one he already had and picked the second up. Carrying live ammunition to the set, he was already prepared for the shit to hit the fan.
An old looking zombie, with whitish hair and a crinkled face walked up behind the storming figure of Danny Trejo. Grunting deeply, Danny looked back at the creature with the edge of his eye, waiting for it to take a few more steps before turning around and hacking it apart.
"Then we're writing a new one. It's called; maggot sack massacre!"
Another zombie came creeping from out of the window the first had made its way through, moaning as it limped over to the scraggy figure of Robert Englund.
"This is a REAL nightmare… eyah!" He shouted as he plunged his pitchfork deep into the cavity of the zombie, pushing it back and flipping over the rail as it toppled down to its death.
Letting the sleek blade twirl around her hand, she grabbed it as it stopped on the sharp tip of the sickle, pushing it forward as the twisting steel stabbed into the rotting flesh of the zombie, screaming as blood spouted out of its mouth.
Grabbing the handle of the sickle, she twisted it violently as she tried to pull it out, making a sickening flesh curdling sound as the blade got stuck on one of the bones and simply letting it stay there as she pushed the corpse aside.
Cracking her knuckles and getting into a fighting stance, she quickly ran her fingers through her hair before looking straight at her three fellow actors and remarked.
"Let's slay some stiffs."
Call of the Dead
Production has been put to a halt due to an unknown incident concerning the actors and Directors wellbeing. Rescue teams are being sent to their last known location of shooting the movie. We're hoping to find them before the Siberia weather takes a turn for the worst.
"Years ago, I did some research for an old world war two movie. Came across some Nazi documents, couldn't believe what I was reading…"
"We're completely surrounded!"
"It's not over yet!"
"Element 115, group 935, necromancers, the dead rising… all that creepy stuff."
"We're completely fucked!"
"NO!"
"The coolest thing… is that some of that crazy shit, happened right here."
No one knows what happened at that set. No one knows that they were actually at the site of the former research facility for the teleporters, where the first zombie was non-officially made.
But everyone will know what happens from this point on.
