Just What The World Needs: A Harvard Zombie Movie

Since human civilization hasn't been blessed with enough zombie references over the past decade, and since we don't already pay enough attention to Harvard, someone has stepped in to fill the void. The brains behind the endless series of American Pie movies is working on a new project, "Harvard Zombie Massacre."

Fresh off the release of “Barackula,” the short online film released earlier this year in which the Harvard Law School graduate fends off vampires, plans are in place for a zombie movie set at Harvard.

“The Harvard Zombie Massacre,” which is still in its preliminary phases, is to be produced by Hollywood veteran Warren Zide.

Zide, who produced the “American Pie” series as well as the “Final Destination” series, has a great deal of experience with movies featuring college-aged students—as well as those featuring rather gruesome fare.

“So, the world’s smartest college students have to battle the world’s smartest zombies,” he said. “Usually you get serial killers and ghost stories and stuff with college kids. There hasn’t been a college zombie movie yet. It will have that great cheekiness, some great horror moments—it’s really a great blend.”
