The green that makes you mean.

Today we're going to watch something that will put you in a haze and give you the munchies.

                                          Cheech and Chong approved, It's POT ZOMBIES!

                                                Here it is on YouTube, courtesy of Troma.

Director Justin Powers made POT ZOMBIES in 2005. The plot is simple. Marijuana that is tainted turns you into a glowing eyed zombie and then you eat people! It's not that complicated, OK?

It's a series of scenes that mix comedy and gore. And there's little animated bits too but it's not for the kids!

Here we see our old friend, Lloyd Kaufman in a small role as a "special" pizza delivery man that becomes zombie chow!

There's also a sequence with a hippy in a Volkswagon that gets pulled over by a cop. It doesn't end well for the cop.

You get the idea. It's pot jokes. 

I must admit this film is silly and stupid, not to diss Justin Powers though. Reviewers have been pretty cruel to the film. It's not a Hollywood blockbuster. It's a micro budget zombie film from Texas. I have a special reason to mention this film on Screaming Streaming. It was my first movie work. Some of the horrible added digital effects are my work, circa 2005 when I was still doing short movie parodies for YouTube. Justin's people got a hold of me and asked if I could pick up some of the slack on scenes remaining to be done so they sent me the footage, I threw in some eyes, smoke, crazy crap in the background, or whatever and sent it back.

Troma then bought the distribution rights from Fringe Media and the rest is movie history. Powers recently completed POT ZOMBIES 2 which I have yet to see but am looking forward to checking out. Until that time, see how it all began in this goofy little film.
