Maul of the dead

the long version

It's 1978 and zombies in polyester walk the earth. A pair of SWAT officers take refuge with a perfume counter girl in a zombie-infested shopping mall. Hiding out in JC Penney's, they're soon joined by a TV weather girl, her traffic reporter Beau, and a suburban punk chick who is still in love with the boy from the record store... now a zombie! As ravenous hoards attack the frail security gate separating the living from the walking dead, the survivors make a desperate bid for weapons and supplies, eventually forming a makeshift family admist the consumer trappings of the 1970s. But paradise is short-lived as betrayal, false identities and infection from a zombie bite threatened the belief that 'there's got to be a morning after." Danger lurks behind early mannequin in a play that blends horror, satire and melodrama with punk rock and disco music into "a whirlwind of zombie mayhem."
