They were out in force, the ghastly ones. Hordes of stumbling, moaning, bloodied zombies invaded the Paramount Theatre on Friday night for the local premiere of the deliciously funny-sick zombie comedy
“Zombieland,” the marquee title for night No. 2 during Fantastic Fest. (“Zombieland” opens in theaters Oct. 2. More about the movie, with trailer, HERE)
Besides the film’s coterie — stars Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg and Emma Stone and director Ruben Fleischer — droves of the dead wove through the crowd in front of the theater. This was thanks to Zombie Manor, an Arlington-based horror make-up crew that offered free “Zombieland” T-shirts to ticket holders willing to get gussied up as a zombie. They also came with their own minions of professional zombies that harassed and groaned at movie-goers.
It was an only-in-Austin, only-at-Fantastic-Fest scene …
