Die You Zombie Bastards! is a 2005 American superhero comedy horror film directed by Caleb Emerson, written by Emerson and Haig Demarjian, and starring Tim Gerstmar, Geoff Mosher, and Pippi Zornoza. It is about a serial killer (Gerstmar) who must save his cannibal wife Violet (Zornoza) from zombies animated by Baron Nefarious (Mosher).
Serial killer Red Toole is married to Violet. After a night of killing innocent people, Red comes home to find that Violet has given him a gift: a superhero outfit made out of human skin. Red's joy is cut short when Baron Nefarious kidnaps Violet. Red puts on his superhero outfit and sets off to rescue his wife, before she is turned into a mindless zombie.
The film was shot in Providence, Rhode Island. Production began while Emerson was still in film school and continued after his graduation. [1]
