Zombie strippers invade Pacific Northwest

Last night, downtown Vancouver, Washington, was overrun by zombie strippers.

On Broadway between Ninth and 11th, the exotic dancers of the dead lured their victims to their doom in the makeshift “Stripper Alley”.

Fiction? Fetish? Or B-movie gone bad?

Perhaps the latter.

The overnight invasion was part of a location shoot for an indie horror movie called “Stripperland”.

“Stripperland” is spoof of last year’s zombie classic “Zombieland”. This film follows four heroes as they travel cross country to Portland, Oregon, battling babes who have been inflicted with a unique variant of a zombie virus. Once infected, this contagion turns women into zombie strippers.

“That’s how they kill, they distract their prey,” said Luna Moon, director of marketing for Cheezy Flicks Productions. “Guys don’t know if they should be turned on or terrified.”

The independent project, which has a budget just under $300,000, will be primarily filmed in and around Portland. It will feature mostly local actors, with some celebrity cameos such as comedian Gilbert Gottfried, Daniel Baldwin, and B-movie filmmaker Lloyd Kaufman, director of 2006’s “Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead”.

“Stripperland” is expected to be released in about 160 theatres nationwide in the fall.

If you are looking for actresses who will drop clothes and body parts at the equal speed, you can find such post-modern neo-feminist works of cinematic craft as “Zombie Strippers” and “Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! - Strippers vs. Zombies” at Showtime Video, at 1745 Main Street in Longmont. They have the most eclectic and comprehensive video collection in town.
