Zombiegeddon is a 2003 cult film directed by Chris Watson. The horror/comedy, distributed by Troma Films, follows two bad cops (played by Ari Bavel and Charles Messina (aka Paul Darrigo)) who find themselves engaged in a battle against evil Hellspawn. The film is significant because it is considered the first "microfilm," or digital video film shot on a budget of less than $50,000, to feature a virtual who's who of the horror film community. With a budget of only $10,000, Zombiegeddon featured such luminaries as Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp), Edwin Neal (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Ron Jeremy (Orgazmo), Tom Savini (Dawn of the Dead), Joe Estevez (Apocalypse Now), Linnea Quigley (Return of the Living Dead), William Smith (Rich Man, Poor Man), Brinke Stevens (Hell Asylum), Lloyd Kaufman (Slaughter Party), Robert Z'Dar (Soultaker), Conrad Brooks (Ed Wood), Paul Darrigo (Witchouse 3: Demon Fire), Trent Haaga (Terror Firmer), as well as cameos by filmmakers Jeff Burr (Pumpkinhead II: Blood Wings), Mark Adams (Minds of Terror), and J.R. Bookwalter (The Dead Next Door), and Fred Rosenberg Jr. (Slaughter Party). Since the 2002 filming of Zombiegeddon, many other low-budget horror flicks have followed suit and cast large ensembles of well-known horror icons, many of them employing the same actors.
