About Us

 

 

For Zombies arose as a concept hatched during a brewing and grilling session back in June ’11.  We thought we could merge our love of these patio sports with our long-abiding interest in zombies and film the results.  “Grilling for Zombies” and “Brewing for Zombies” were filmed a month later.  On a whim, we selected our friend, Bob, for various forms of dismemberment and an ongoing theme was born.   Later, a soundtrack was provided by co-collaborator Shmoolie.  Upon releasing the films we realized we were having a lot of fun and decided to see where our ideas would take us.

Our videos can be found in the sidebar on the right and at: www.forzombies.tv

Meet the Zombies

John Iwasz
Date of Reanimation:	July 7, 2007
Cause of Death:	Mauled shortly after using a vuvuzella to antagonize a bear
Astrological Sign:	Flatline
Favorite Bands:	Johnathan Coulton, Weird Al, Paul and Storm, MC Chris, MC Hawking
Email:	john@forzombies.net
Before death, John was a software engineer, home brewer, writer and amateur runner. That didn’t help him outrun the bear. Today, he can be found frequenting microbreweries for sudsy brains or chasing squirrels for a quick meal. His love of good beer and hatred of squirrels carried over into undeath. At times, it’s hard to tell if he’s groaning for “brains….” or “grains…”

Email:	sanj@forzombies.net
Prior to his reanimation, Sanj was a software engineer, martial artist and grilling enthusiast. Nowadays he can be found lurking in abandoned warehouses hunting for stray breathers and the occasional errant pet. He prefers to think of his reanimation as more of a reawakening and can often be heard moaning “Why can’t we all just be dead?”

Shmoolie
Date of Reanimation:	11/20/2006 (the day after the day the music died)
Cause of Death:	A mob of angry townfolk cornered Shmoolie in his office and impaled him through the neck with a pitchfork; natural causes.
Prior to his reanimation, Shmoolie was an attorney at law. Go figure. Now, Shmoolie is staggering towards a promising musical career. His dream is to perform a duet of Love Me (Fork) Tender with Elvis Presley’s corpse at New York’s Dead Kennedy Center.

Before death Brandy was a geek and anxious paranoid who liked to dress up in movie costumes to scare children for charity. Now she likes to dress up in movie costumes to eat children for charity, and thrill Silent Hill fanboys with her realistic Dark Nurse impressions. She is a founding member of the Zombie Liberation Front and her goal in life is total and brutal world dominance. She also enjoys crochet and fine art.

Prior to her reanimation, Sajel was a full-time student. After the accident, she tried to go back to school but was strongly discouraged from this by the local school board and an outraged PTA. Her sad plight is currently being looked into by the ACLU and several zombie rights organizations. She can be found shambling aimlessly in recently looted toy stores and occasionally appearing in For Zombies Productions videos.

Steve Applebaum
Date of Reanimation:	October 29, 2011
Cause of Death:	Tripped and fell backwards into a pot of boiling gumbo.

Before his accident Steve was a chef at Cajun Kate’s in Boothwyn, Pennsylvania, as well as a highly accomplished CPA. He’s now spending eternity groaning show tunes and serving up cocktails to the undead. His favorite drinks are the Bloody Mary, the Brain Hemorrhage and of course the Zombie. He’s no longer cooking as much since he prefers his meat raw. He’s also appeared in several of our productions and has been a great help around the set and behind the camera.
