Encyclopocalypse Publications not only brought John Skipp and Craig Spector’s novelization of Fright Night and Jeff Rovin’s novelization of Re-Animator back into print, they’ve also been commissioning new novelizations of older films. Matt Serafini wrote a novelization of the 1980 sci-fi horror film Scared to Death, while Christian Francis wrote novelizations of 1997’s Wishmaster, 1986’s Vamp, and 1985’s Titan Find (a.k.a. Creature). On the more recent side, Bret Nelson wrote a novelization of 2011’s Manborg. A couple months ago, we heard that we’ll be getting a novelization of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes from Encyclopocalypse Publications and author Jeff Strand. And now it has been revealed that Encyclopocalypse Publications also has a novelization of the 1989 Troma release Redneck Zombies (watch it Here) in the works!
The Redneck Zombies novelization is being written by Kristopher Ruffy and Ed Bishop, and the authors have even been kind enough to share some excerpts!

At the time, he seemed to come out of nowhere. I mean, there was a Quentin Tarantino shaped vacuum, then suddenly, Reservoir Dogs was out and it was being talked about as if it was the cinematic equivalent of sliced bread. After that it was difficult to walk ten paces without someone saying ‘Have you seen Reservoir Dogs?!’ I had seen it. And, even as a youngster (too young perhaps to have been watching Reservoir Dogs), I was just as blown away by it as everyone else.
Tarantino holds pop-culture – more specifically cinematic iconography – in such reverence within his films that it’s difficult not to get swept up in the fervour. So much so that his critics...

Monsters are a dime a dozen and have been throughout history. There’s the Vampire; the Werewolf; the Centaur; the Fish Man; the Fly Man; the Ghost and the Goblin. And it doesn’t end there, the list goes on and on into the shadows but it only needs to be observed to realise that we love a good miscreation more than we possibly should.
But let’s examine the word itself – Monster. It’s derived from the Latin word monstrare which is ‘to show, point out or reveal’ (also intrinsic in the etymology of the word ‘demonstrate’). In order to truly terrify, a monster must reveal to us something in ourselves – something we may not necessarily want to acknowledge. This is why the Zombie endures even as other monsters are committed to history – our survival instinct forces us to fear our mortality and so most of us refuse to truly recognize it.

Directed by Christine Parker.
Starring Jacqueline Martini, Conrad Osborne, Edward Warner, Darrell Parker, Wayne Bates, Heidi Martinuzzi, Pericles Lewnes, Jessie Walley, Angela Giddings, Zachary Edgerton, William Drake, Andy Miller, Chuck Williams, and Paul Cardulo.
Indie filmmaker Christine Parker, who gave us the enjoyable low budget horror romp The Forever Dead, brings us this fun zombie western about a feud between two brothers in an 1800s North Carolina town.
One of the brothers invents a special elixir that he tells folks will help cure all of life’s problems. Only problem is the elixir appears to be a zombie-making potion that turns the townsfolk into rampaging, flesh hungry zombies. All hell breaks loose as the zombies seize a church, a girl has one of her boobs ripped off, zombies are shot at, and an infected man attacks gets up and attacks folks in a saloon.
Fistful of Brains is a gory,...
