Bubba's Chili Parlor is a 2005 feature film of the "zombie" genre. It takes place in Wills Point, Texas where Bubba's Chili Parlor becomes ground zero of a worldwide zombie epidemic after Bubba accidentally serves chili with a mutated strain of Mad Cow Disease.
The film has gone through numerous titles including The Dead Season and Lord of the Dead. It was written by Chris Daly (who played a Zombie Lord) and Joey Evans (who directed the film.) It was produced by S. Mike Davis, who also starred as Bubba, the title character.
The film cost $13,000 to produce, and cast provided their own costumes. The film was shot three days a week for seven weeks. This enabled the cast and crew to maintain their jobs, most as restaurant servers and bartenders, during the shoot.
The film features a "Lord Of The Flies" metaphoric subtext. Instead of a pig's head, though, a zombie's head rules the descent into anarchy from the Parlor parking lot, perched on his 'throne' (a toilet stool).
