Exclusive Sneak Peek: Dan Aykroyd Joins the Undead Fun in ‘Zombie Town’

THE BIG PICTURE
Zombie Town, the latest cinematic adaptation from R.L. Stine, the mastermind behind Goosebumps, brings his trademark fusion of horror and humor to the silver screen. This movie boasts a star-studded ensemble cast, featuring the likes of Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, and Henry Czerny, and unfolds a tale of a town plunged into a zombie apocalypse following a fateful movie premiere.

Director Peter Lepeiotis masterfully weaves a post-apocalyptic ambiance that expertly balances spine-tingling scares with uproarious laughter, leaving viewers grinning from ear to ear. Aykroyd, one of the film’s stars, commends the exceptional professionalism exhibited by both the cast and crew.

Zombie Town, the cinematic adaptation of R.L. Stine’s beloved young adult horror novel, hit theaters with a bang last week, delivering a riotous cinematic experience. With an ensemble cast led by Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase, and Henry Czerny, the film is a faithful adaptation of Stine’s 2012 novel, recounting the nightmarish escapades of Mike and his friend Amy. Their evening takes a gruesome turn after attending a movie premiere at their local theater, aptly titled Zombie Town, which inexplicably transforms the town’s residents into the living dead.

FilmSweep is thrilled to team up with Viva Pictures to offer an exclusive sneak peek from the film, currently screening at your nearest multiplex. In this gripping clip, Aykroyd’s character, film director Len Carver, encounters Czerny’s Richard Landro and Marlon Kazadi’s Mike Broadstreet. Carver inquires if the projector is ready, hinting at his grand cinematic ambitions, with a not-so-lively cast of zombie extras populating the town in every direction.

While Goosebumps will forever remain R.L. Stine’s crowning achievement, it’s truly electrifying when the acclaimed author ventures into darker territory. This approach has paid dividends, as seen in the Netflix Fear Street trilogy, which boldly embraced a mature audience with its hard-R rating. Zombie Town stands as yet another testament to the exhilarating entertainment that Stine’s works can bring to the big screen, particularly when it treads the path of comedy, a feat it accomplishes with aplomb throughout its runtime. Director Peter Lepeiotis adeptly harnesses atmosphere to create a post-apocalyptic setting that resonates, ensuring that audiences depart with smiles firmly etched on their faces.

Aykroyd has issued a statement in support of the film, adhering to the regulations and guidelines set forth during the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike. He lauds the unwavering professionalism, talent, and dedication exhibited by the film’s cast and crew.

“Union guidelines and solidarity with my fellow artists prevent me from divulging specific story elements of films I’m involved in. However, I can attest to the professionalism, skill, talent, commitment, and dedication of our Sudbury, Ontario crew, who went above and beyond to assist the director in crafting a worthy addition to R.L. Stine’s collection of funny and spine-tingling tales. Collaborating with Henry Czerny and the entire cast was an absolute delight. I can’t reveal more. I suppose everyone will simply have to experience Zombie Town firsthand to discover its allure.”

As we approach the Halloween season, don’t miss your chance to catch this exclusive clip from Zombie Town, now gracing theaters with its undead antics. It’s a cinematic treat that promises thrills, chills, and plenty of laughs.
