Dracula Goes Cosmic: Black Mandala Acquires ‘Vampire Zombies…From Space!’ Ahead of Cannes Market
Black Mandala has acquired rights to the award-winning horror-comedy 'Vampire Zombies…From Space!' ahead of the Cannes Film Market.
Set in 1957, the film follows a motley crew — consisting of a grizzled detective, a skeptical rookie cop, a chain-smoking greaser, and a determined young woman — as they band together to stop Dracula ‘s cosmic plan to turn the small town of Marlow into his personal army of vampire zombies. The 97-minute horror-comedy-sci-fi hybrid features notable genre appearances from Lloyd Kaufman (Troma Entertainment founder), Judith O’Dea (“Night of the Living Dead”), and David Liebe Hart (“Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!”). Stasko, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Jakob Skrzypa and Alex Forman, cited classics like “The Blob,” “Plan 9 from Outer Space,” and “Forbidden Planet” as inspirations, comparing the film’s comedic approach to Mel Brooks’ “Young Frankenstein.”
