3D Zombie Puppet Musical in the Works!

John Skipp’s ROSE: the 3D Zombie Puppet Musical just received a strong vote of confidence from fellow zombie author and horror legend Brian Keene (The Rising), who rallied his troops behind Skipp’s ambitious Kickstarter campaign.
Keene, widely credited as having helped launch the new wave of modern zombie mania, has a vast and uniquely loyal following, bonded under the banner F.U.K.U. (Fans ‘uv Keene United).
Today, on Keene’s thriving online horror community website, The Keenedom, he issued the following call to action:
“John Skipp needs help financing his new indie zombie film Rose, and he’s asking for the F.U.K.U.’s help. The details are here on Kickstarter. That’s also where you can donate. We have 29 days to reach $250,000. If that goal isn’t reached, no donations will be processed. Anyone who gives $1 or more will be thanked in the credits at the end of the film, but Brian Keene fans will get their own special block of thanks. There are all kinds of other bonuses and prizes as well. See the Kickstarter page for full information. You can also read more about it in John Skipp’s section of The Keenedom.
“Let’s make this happen, folks! Each of us can easily contribute a dollar. If each and every one of you will do that, we’ll have no problem reaching the goal.”
This is the same approach Skipp is taking with zombie walk groups worldwide, with the added incentive of featuring actual zombie walk footage from contributing groups in his film.
And as an additional incentive, Skipp has released “Empty Vessel”, the first single from the soundtrack to Rose, on the free music site SoundCloud. “It’s a punked-out psychedelic calling card,” he says, “just to give you a weird taste of the fun. Feel free to pass it around!”
