Bionic Buzz® got to interview the writers/producers/co-stars of The Manson Brothers Midnight Zombie Massacre Mike Carey and Chris Margetis. The film is directed by Max Martini (Pacific Rim) and starring Randy Couture (The Expendables), DB Sweeney (The Cutting Edge), Adrian Pasdar (Near Dark), and Bas Rutten (Sinners and Saints), and will be released in theater and on-demand on September 10, 2021. Mike Carey and Chris Margetis are both former professional wrestlers that went by the notorious Manson Brothers.
The film tells the story of wrestling tag team, The Manson Brothers, now in their twilight years, who are relegated to smaller promotions and agree to a midnight cage match on Halloween. What they don’t know is the contest involves being trapped in the arena with wrestlers and fans infected with a mutated form of rabies. Armed only with their wrestling skills and enchanted lucha libre masks, they must fight for their lives and ensure the virus is contained to prevent an all-out zombie massacre.
We talk about where the concept came for wrestlers fighting zombies, making the film in New Mexico, a lot of fun wrestling stories, the possibility of it turning into a graphic novel, and more!
