Bong Of The Dead
Stars: Simone Bailly, Mark Wynn, Jy Harris | Written and Directed by Thomas Newman
The world might be in the grip of the zombie apocalypse, but all stoners Edwin and Tommy are worried about is getting their next dope hit. When the undead attack, they discover that mashed-up zombie makes the most excellent fertiliser for their marijuana crop, inducing the sort of super-powerful high most pot-heads could only dream of…. Zombie brains + cannabis = super weed! With their gorgeous friend Leah in tow, the trio venture into the Danger Zone, which is over-run by the undead, to try to bag some more zombie brains – and try not to get eaten or lose their high in the process. Imagine if Cheech and Chong were caught in the middle of a zombie apocalypse and you have Bong of the Dead…
A stoner “comedy” in the very broadest meaning of the word,...

Bong of the Dead Thomas Newman is the director behind the stoner, zombie horror comedy Bong of the Dead. You're probably going, "don't you mean Evil Bong from Charles Band & Full Moon Entertainment?". No, not at all. Bong of the Dead is Newman's labor of love that finds two stoner friends traveling to danger zones that are inhabited with zombies so that they can collect zombie brain matter to use as fertilizer to help their weed grow at a rapid rate. Bong of the Dead is Thomas Newman's micro budget tribute that's best described as a cross between the George A. Romero's zombies and the Cheech and Chong humor / mentality of the 80's. Armed with a deep conviction in his project and $5000, Thomas Newman set about making Bong of the Dead. Two and a half years later, here he is speaking to us about the finished film. Here's...
