Meet the ZOMBEATLES in BRAINS mockumentary News - Film News Written by Michael Gingold Wednesday, 05 November 2008 13:56 Doug Gordon, better known in his native Scotland for his undead-comedian alter ego Angus MacAbre, gave Fango the scoop on his upcoming mockumentary THE ZOMBEATLES: ALL YOU NEED IS BRAINS. The flick finds MacAbre teaming with and documenting Madison, Wisconsin band The Gomers, who every Halloween transform into and perform as The Zombeatles.
Nicknamed “The Fab Gore,” the Zombeatles consist of Jaw Nlennon, Pall Ickartney, Gorge Harryson and Dingo Scarr (see more record covers below). Since the band formed four years ago, they’ve become a seasonal favorite in Madison, and gained wider recognition in 2006 when Rob Zombie selected their music video for “A Hard Day’s Night of the Living Dead” for a Halloween collection. ALL YOU NEED IS BRAINS focuses on the rise and fall of the group, beginning with the meeting and biting of Jaw and Pall at art school in Pool of Liver. After transforming into the walking dead, the two start up the Zombeatles with Harryson and Eat Breast. Their producer, Gorge Mortem, doesn’t care for Breast’s drumming, however, and before you know it, the latter is replaced by Scarr, from Rory Sturm and Drang and the Curried Brains. Pretty soon, Zombeatlemaina hits and they’re topping the charts with “I Wanna Eat Your Hand” and “Eight Brains a Week,” and flying to the U.S. to appear on THE DEAD SULLIVAN SHOW. The film will include in-depth looks at such momentous occasions as their conquering of the silver screen with A HARD DAY’S NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, Nlennon’s controversial comment that the Zombeatles were more popular than Satan and interviews with the band, their longtime producer Mortem and noted rock critic Fester Fangs. Gordon describes the movie as NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD meets THIS IS SPINAL TAP and Eric Idle’s 1978 spoof THE RUTLES: ALL YOU NEED IS CASH. Once acquainted with the Zombeatles, he saw them as a perfect fit for the parallel universe he has created using the MacAbre persona. “I believe that it’s only a matter of time—years, months, maybe only weeks—until zombies evolve in a Darwinian fashion to become intelligent and creative creatures,” he tells Fango. “At that point, they’ll form their own ‘zomniverse,’ complete with their own popular culture, arts and entertainment in the form of performers like The Zombeatles and Angus MacAbre.” Shooting has been completed on ALL YOU NEED IS BRAINS, and Gordon is currently halfway done editing, with hopes to have a finished product by the end of November. There’s an official website set up here, and you can see a trailer below and the video for “A Hard Day’s Night of the Living Dead” below that.
