Zombies Invade Scoops (But Sorry, No Brains Here)



We get a lot of press releases here at Franklin Avenue, but when one includes those magical words -- "Scoops Ice Cream" -- I gotta take notice.

Rebecca writes to tell us about the film AMERICAN ZOMBIE, which opens
at the Laemmle Sunset 5 today.

The movie, about a group of L.A. zombies struggling to gain human acceptance, hasn't received great reviews. But for Angelenos, the setting alone should be interesting: The film was shot in and around Hollywood, East Hollywood, Los Feliz, Silverlake, Altadena, the Valley and Downtown.

Now, the Scoops part: In conjunction with the film, the "American Zombie" folk are putting on an art exhibit at Scoops Ice Cream Shop's Gallery. "The Art of American Zombie" runs through April 20; to mark the occasion, Scoops maestro Tai has whipped up a few special flavors. (Nothing brain-related, Rebecca promises.)
