Production
Poole, who was influenced by Shaun of the Dead and 28 Days Later, shot the film in Louisville, Kentucky.[3] When The Courier-Journal ran a story about the film, Poole was inundated with locals who volunteered to appear as extras in the film. The climactic zombie fight was recognized by the Guinness World Records as the largest zombie scene filmed. Poole also received an offer for free helicopter service.[2]
