On this double date edition of Zombie Book Club, we sit down with married indie filmmakers Erin Áine and Kyle Valle of Big Squid Productions, the creative duo behind the cosplay-meets-zombie feature ZombieCON Vol. 1. From their Studio City meet-cute to a decade-long journey of crowdfunding, micro-crew shoots, DIY effects, and relentless post-production, Erin and Kyle share the unvarnished story of how a wild concept about assholes turning into zombies became a crowd-pleasing indie with an 86% Rotten Tomatoes score.

Erin and Kyle offer a behind-the-scenes window into set life, stunt safety, DVD extras, and the bold, futuristic ideas waiting in Volume 2 and beyond. Whether you’re a horror fan, indie creator, or just love a good story about passion and perseverance, this episode is a bloody, funny, heartfelt ride.
