Christopher R. Mihm's "Attack of the Moon Zombies" Wins Numerous B-Movie Awards

March 23, 2012 - PRLog -- Minnesotan writer/director Christopher R. Mihm has a unique filmmaking niche. He makes only B&W, 1950s-drive-in-style creature features, or as he puts it, "I make good bad, new old movies." Released in May 2011, his sixth film, "Attack of the Moon Zombies," received universally positive reviews from those who want their nostalgia to be newly made. Recently, cult-movie site MailOrderZombie.com nominated "Attack of the Moon Zombies" for many of their annual Dead Letter Awards for quality filmmaking in the zombie genre.

The awards Mihm's film won are: 1) Best Zombie Movie, feature length; 2) Best Director of a Zombie Movie (Christopher R. Mihm); 3) Best Zombie (Michael Kaiser); 4) Best Actress in a Zombie Movie Sid Korpi as Administrator Ripley; and 5) Best One-Liner in a Zombie Movie: "I know I'd rather die in agonizing pain than become some weird meat puppet for those nasty little things out there, wouldn't you?" Plus, the movie won Best Death Scene via a write-in-only ballot, naming Mike Cook's self-sacrificing demise as Dr. Vincent Edwards the best of the deaths. The film took home more awards than any other in the competition. Winners were established by popular vote.

Fans of this monstrously memorable, family-friendly, super-cheesy flick are urged to visit the Mail Order Zombie site to listen to the highly entertaining 3/22/12 podcast  #177 at http://www.mailorderzombie.com.
