The Toronto Zombie Walk is co-presenting a screening of Howard J. Ford and Jonathan Ford’s The Dead together with Rue Morgue at their Cinemacabre Movie night!

Where: Toronto Underground Cinema – 186 Spadina, just north of Queen St

When: Thursday, January 19th @ 9:30pm

Come in zombie attire for chances to win fiendtastic prizes (including five Walking Dead prize packs from Anchor Bay!

When the last evacuation flight out of war-torn Africa crashes off the coast, American Air Force Engineer Lieutenant Brian Murphy (ROB FREEMAN) emerges as the sole survivor in a land where the dead are returning to life and attacking the living.

On the run in a hostile and inhospitable parched landscape, where sudden death lurks around every sun-burnished corner, Murphy has to use his wits and ingenuity if he is to get home alive to his family.

When Murphy’s path clashes with that of Sergeant Daniel Dembele (PRINCE DAVID OSEI), whose village has been torn apart by the reanimated dead, they join forces.

The two desperate men from two very different cultures fight side by side to survive across the incredible vistas of Africa as the world succumbs to the deadliest of viruses.

In the first zombie road movie set against the spectacular vistas of Africa, the Dark Continent becomes a dead zone. A stunningly shot horror fantasy announcing the arrival of the Ford Brothers on the global genre scene, THE DEAD is as much an emotional journey through terror terrain as it is a physically demanding and beautiful-looking one. Shot in life-threatening, never-before-seen locations in Burkina Faso, French-speaking West Africa, and Ghana, including the Sahara Desert, on 35mm film by the award-winning Ford Brothers, THE DEAD is one of the most unique zombie movies of all time.

Complections International Academy of Make-up Artistry is running a Professional Zombie Workshop on Thursday October 20th, 2011 from 6:30pm to 9:30pm.

NOTE:  Due to the overwhelming response we have added another Zombie Workshop on Tuesday, October 18th from 6:30-9:30pm.

It is a lecture-style introduction to zombie make-up going from basic to extreme techniques!

Led by Complections instructors and special make-up effects gurus Neil Morrill (Diary of the Dead, Silent Hill, Land of the Dead) and Kyle Glencross (Resident Evil: Afterlife, Dawn of the Dead, Diary of the Dead).

Location: Complections International Academy of Make-up artistry
