Night for the Living Dead for WSPA
Prepare to be scared...
Emmerdale actors Dominic Brunt and Mark Charnock are inviting Zombie fans to a twelve hour film festival to help them raise funds for the WSPA.

On Sunday April 25th 2010 from noon till midnight Dominic and Mark will be hosting the third annual Zombie Film Festival at the Cottage Road Cinema in Headingley, near Leeds, in aid of the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA).
 
At the Zombie Film Festival, Dominic, who plays vet Paddy Kirk, and Mark, who plays Chef Marlon Dingle, in the ITV 1 soap Emmerdale will be giving a short introduction to each of the films and explain why it was chosen. The line up will include both old and new movies, giving fans of zombie culture a chance to see classics from the past, some of which are being played on the big screen for the first time as well as more recent contributions to the genre.
 
WSPA Ambassador Dominic Brunt says: “I am fascinated by zombies; they are generally incapable of communication and show no signs of personality or rationality, and look terrifying. But to me, zombie movies will always be something to enjoy. I will always marvel at good special effects and mock myself for jumping out of my skin.”
 
Dare to enter the Cottage Road Cinema one of the oldest cinemas in the country, which has been showing films since 1912 and purchase day tickets for the Zombie Film Festival for £15 (that’s just £2.50 per film) either before hand or on the day of the event (April 25th).
 
The film line up includes: Day Of The Dead, Colin, Shaun of the Dead, 28 Days Later and one more mystery film to keep you guessing…
 
Try your luck at a spooky raffle and win one of many harrowing prizes. The top prize is a Wii console and Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles game to play on it, kindly donated to WSPA by Capcom.
 
All profits from ticket sales and raffle will go to support the work of WSPA.

For more information on the Zombie Film Festival in aid of WSPA please contact: Jane Rockliffe on 0800 316 9772 or email fundraising@wspa.org.uk.
