Former zombie filmmaker, Victor Chesterfield, is heartbroken. His wife Olivia, a high school drama teacher, has had enough of his foul moods and flying off the handle. Even though she might still love him, she left because she can no longer tolerate his dramatic outbursts. She claims she prefers her drama on the stage.
When his best friend and employee of the quirky American Science and Surplus Store, Eddie tells him that Olivia misses the man that was so much fun when he was making his gawd-awful B-movie zombie flicks, they decided it's time to brush off an unmade script titled "Zombie Day Care Apocalypse" and convince her to make once last zombie movie with them.
Olivia is reluctant to jump back into her zombie killing catsuit. That is, until two of her slacker students blackmail her. She had hoped her colleagues would never know of her less than stellar thespian forays into zombie-dom, but like Michael Corleone and the mob, these students want to drag her back into B-movies. She finally agrees to make Victor's movie provided he cast her two students and have them do all their own stunt work.
Victor and Eddie enlist all the workers at the store to help them make their masterpiece with children zombies. It's then that Victor realizes why it's never wise to make movies with children or animals. The two slackers wish they had never agreed to do their own stunts. The neighborshood where filming takes place is in chaos, all the while everyone involved has the time of their lives making "Zombie Day Care Apocalypse."
While I intended this script to be made locally (in Milwaukee) because that's where the very quirky store "American Science and Surplus" is located, it can be made almost anywhere. And very likely can be made with a modest budget.
