Zombie Strippers (A Table Dance You Won't Forget!), Trailer

http://hotstripdance.coconia.netStarring: Jenna Jameson, Robert Englund, Roxy Saint, Tito Ortiz Worldwide media sensation JENNA JAMESON and Nightmare on Elm Street's ROBERT ENGLUND star in ZOMBIE STRIPPERS. When a secret government agency lets out a deadly chemo virus causing the reanimation of the dead, the first place to get hit is Rhino's, a hot underground strip club. As one of the strippers gets the virus, she turns into a supernatural, flesh-eating zombie stripper, making her the hit of the club. Do the rest of the girls fight the temptation to be like the star stripper, even if there is no turning back? Also featuring ROXY SAINT (of the Goth band Roxy Saint and the Blackouts) and Ultimate Fighting Champion TITO ORTIZ, ZOMBIE STRIPPERS is a sexy, bloody, hilarious good time! Unlike the DAWN OF THE DEAD franchise and movies of its ilk, ZOMBIE STRIPPERS mines humor more in the vein of the Brit horror comedy SHAUN OF THE DEAD as the proverbial envelope is stretched, split, eviscerated and eaten. "OK. Let me see if I got this straight. Our best stripper is a reanimated corpse, which feeds on the living flesh of the customers, who in turn, reanimate after death, even if they're just a f***ing head! And you don't see this as a problem?" -- Ian Essko, proprietor, Rhinos, ZOMBIE STRIPPERS Opens April 18th -- Rated R -- 94 minutes -- In English.
