Dead Before Dawn
Half Zombie. Half Demon. All Zemon!
Directed by April Mullen
Produced by KSM, Wango Films
A campy, high-energy horror-comedy that leans hard into absurdist creature design and self-aware humor rather than genuine scares or emotional depth.
A bunch of college kids accidentally unleash an evil curse that causes people to kill themselves and turn into Zombie Demons, aka ZEMONS!
