Humans are eaten by zombies. Zombies are eaten by dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are eaten by aliens?

Are you sure these films weren't being shot in Wuhan, China? Your characterization of the self-absorbed director of the Zombie movie and his relationship with his harried assistant director skillfully set the stage for the incredibly careless act of putting the mush on the legs of the actors. I expected the rats to attack the cast, but not the zombification of the victims who then attacked their comrades. What followed paralleled gang warfare ala West Side Story (without the singing): Zombies vs Dinosaurs. Incredible. Another commenter likened it to watching a B movie; yeah, lots of fun.

Right? What can go wrong, will go wrong, especially when shooting a budget horror movie.

I had fun plotting and writing this story and am glad you enjoyed it.

Complete mayhem. Anyway, I love how creatively you have described the first zombie attack by keeping it short and not lengthening it will lots of descriptions. And, the pace of the story was perfect. Loved it 👌🏼

Thank you, Deirdre. In the movies, all is possible. Let's just hope those powers remain just in the movies.

If anyone saw these films completed, audiences would likely be comparing them to the works of Edward D. Wood, Jr. and the recently late Roger Corman. And not entirely in flattering ways...

Oh yes, I think so. These movies would be the end of us for sure.

Loved all the fun grindhouse b-movie vibes of this one! I can practically see everything through the view of old cheap film stock.
