THE ZOMBIE SQUAD
(April 1995)
"Zombie Squad. You can find 'em. and you need 'em. You wanna
become a zombie.. errr. scaring people". and so goes the
rousing recruitment call for the Zombie Squad!
The mission of the Zombie Squad is to scare. To scare to get
results!
Currently however, the Zombie Squad are having trouble achieving
any kind of result. Whether it's a simple attempt at intimidating
a passer by into handing over some cash, or whether it's a more
organised scare on a local shop, the Zombie Squad don't seem to
be getting anywhere at all.
The film shows us the rigorous zombie training that all applicants
have to go through to become a proper, scary zombie. But when
the shuffling walk fails, and the zombie moan stirs little response
from their victims, they turn to desperate measures and learn
the 'terrifying' "Dance of the Zombies".
Although they are mostly in it for personal gain, the squad also
attempt to use their scare tactics for the public good. First,
by trying to scare a couple of underage smokers, and then by performing
the "Dance of the Zombies" in front of a room of hunt
saboteurs. Sadly for the Zombie Squad, they fail on both occasions
to scare anyone into doing anything. So, despite the marginal
success of scaring a free leaflet out of one shop, they decide
to call it a day.
The Zombie Squad leader wants to be left alone, so heads off home.
But it seems that the trainees have become truly zombified and
continue to follow their leader. Much to the leader's annoyance.
