Rotten Cotton Gets Creepy and Dead

Wow. The surreal moments just keep on coming. When I did my part in George A. Romero’s Survival of the Dead, I had no idea where it would lead. Seeing the finished product was cool, and seeing the fan reaction for the most part was even better. I couldn’t be more pleased. But now comes this. The strangest news story I’ve ever written.

Yesterday I put up my own personal Survival of the Dead diary, which was met with a really warm reception that I’m absolutely grateful beyond words for. In the movie I play one of the featured zombies who take part in one of the film’s best scenes. Yep, my forty seconds of fame are truly a gloriously gory sight. Many people have said that I was a bitchin’ looking corpse, and for that too I’m thankful. But I never expected to be good enough to make it to a fuckin’ t-shirt!

Below you’ll find Rotten Cotton‘s latest design by artist Chuck Bird featuring … well … me. The shirt will be available at the upcoming Creation LA Weekend of Horrors and will later be for sale on the official Rotten Cotton website.

Now if you’ll excuse me I need to go pinch myself. Maybe throw some ice water on my face.
