We’re starting a new series of posts here at SciFi Mafia that we’re calling Web Series Wednesday where we devote a space to the wonderment of the web series. Every Wednesday we’ll cover two awesome web series shows and give you all the info to get into them.
If you’ve got a favorite web series you’d like us to cover, head on over to the Contact Us page and shoot us your request.
This week we’re covering School of Thrones and Course of the Force.
Prom night is coming to Westeros High in the web series, School of Thrones, and the clicks are all vying for their right to the throne. The season consists of three episodes all well under 10 minutes. The bromance between Robb Stark and Theon Greyjoy is my favorite. The series starts out pretty fun and seems like it would have...

We already told you about the horror/suspense and sci-fi/fantasy films screening during this year's Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival (Cci-iff), but a couple of zombedies slipped under the radar due to being included in the humor category. We have that info for you now.
All screenings and panels for the Cci-iff will be held in the Marriott Marquis and Marina, right next door to the Convention Center (next to the Hall A end). The Film Festival will screen in Marriott Hall 2, which is at the far (north) end of the Marriott lobby, outside of the building (follow the signage to get to Marriott Hall 2).

A charming and clever look at the zombie apocalypse through the eyes of a vegetarian zombie named Summer, whose veggie-loving tendencies are so deep-rooted they stick with her even as she wanders the...

Rigamortis A Zombie Love Story Dave Dewes is the the co-director behind Rigamortis: A Zombie Love Story, one of the year's most entertaining genre offerings. Rigamortis seamlessly managed to blend a story about love, zombies and musical dance numbers all into one cohesive film! I never thought in my lifetime I would see a musical zombie love story. Lisa Musser, who plays one half of the zombie couple, turned in a breakthrough performance. Boston Stergis channeled his inner Bruce Campbell with the film's elements of parody, but yet also brought a human side to a character who amounts to being the antagonist. And Maxwell Glick, did the appealing aww shucks thing well. Sure Rigamortis has creativity to spare, the premise alone is going to draw people in and the three leads are terrific, but in my opinion what makes Rigamortis so successful is that in the midst of it all,...

The last two remaining zombies on Earth fall in love with one another while trying to resist their urge for living human brains and having to escape a mob that wants to kill them.
Tremendously entertaining combination of yes; you read right, zombie film, love story and musical! Rigamortis: A Love Story cleverly takes the pains of being a zombie and relates them to universal themes involving the human condition in order to bring to life its two brain munching members of the undead. Rigamortis features situations that are both thoughtful & engaging and songs that resonate when token out of the zombie context. Maxwell Glick & Lisa Musser turn in bright, appealing performances as the zombies in love with one another with Boston Stergis managing to avoid turning his character into a one note...

Zombies have been done. A lot. So have online musicals. But to our knowledge, no one has combined the two until now. Yesterday Rigamortis launched on YouTube with a three-parter almost tailor made for Dr. Horrible Sing-Along Blog fans. (Which, incidentally is still holding strong on iTunes.) It’s a pure indie project, without of course Dr. H’s star power or Whedonverse, but there are some seriously ample musical chops here. Maxwell Glick stars opposite Lisa Musser as two of the last remaining zombies after a failed zombiepocalypse. Their nemesis is a spot-on Nathan Fillion type, Boston Stergis, who is essentially humanity’s hotdogging hero zombie killer, belting his greatness in a walk-and-sing that would make Captain Hammer proud. Creators Jenny Stolte and Dave Dewes, both from the Chicago area, are taking their first stab at an original web series with Rigamortis, which they shot up in Wisconsin last November.

Rigamortis: A Zombie
Love Story Ahhhh! Zombies!! (aka Wasting Away) started the theme that zombies are people. Now the horror / comedy / musical (?!?) "Rigamortis: A Zombie Love Story" continues on with that theme as a pair of zombies look, not only, for their place in a big bad cruel world, but also for that funny little thing known as L-o-v-e all while belting out musical numbers!
From Ted Campbell & Daves Dewes comes a film in which, shortly after humanity has put down a recent zombie outbreak, the last two zombies left "undead" are looking for their place in the world. One lonely zombie hunter's new found fame and glory can't fill the hole in his heart left by the recent loss of his now undead love. The characters are forced to confront zombies, angry mobs, double-barreled shotguns, and an ever-dangerous thing called love, until fate brings them all face to face in an explosive finale.

The first part of the seventh installment of the movie version of the lingua franca of Generation Next is due out in theaters this Friday, November 19. The second part of the finale of the Harry Potter film franchise is set to premiere eight months later on July 15, 2011. The Fine Brothers are capitalizing on the buzz. Online video auteurs Benny and Rafi Fine debuted their new web show, Harry Potter and the Rejected Scenes earlier this week. It's a monthly, live-action-figure series set in and about Diagon Alley and Hogwarts Castle that reimagines memorable scenes from Harry's seven years in the world of witchcraft and wizardry. Benny and Rafi ask the question "What if Jk had written it this way?" and give viewers the answer in the form of Mattel toys, animated mouths, and pragmatic dialogue. "We decided to start the new series after the conclusion of our Lost series last month,...

On the heaviest day of Comic-Con, one might think that having a major off-site event, to be held in the midst of some heavy hitting panels, might not be the strongest plan ever conceived. Showing up early to the event at the Bristol Hotel, I watched as some of the finishing touches were applied to the set-up. This was not the last-minute, throw-something-together-in-four-days event from this past April. Nor was it the end-all, be-all of panels. This was simply the next logical step for the web series industry, in a long road to having an entire section of the convention marked out for us. Run by Jenni Powell, Taryn O'Neill and Stephanie Thorpe, Celebrate the Web 2 came together with a different tone from the previous outing. Where the original event did so out of a need to heal some wounds, this time around the tone was stronger: “We’re here to stay,...

Talk about Geek Heaven.
You gotta love the "Comic-Con Girls" version of "California Gurls" by Katy Perry. Even if you're not a geeked out Comic-Con attendee, this is pretty hilarious with references to "Star Wars," "Lord of the Rings," and "Harry Potter."
Not mention a ref to the Comic-Con freebies, discussed in Zap2it's own Comic-Con Virgin expose!
Appearing in this video: Katie Wilson, Maxwell Glick, Angie Griffin, Chad Nikolaus, Andre Meadows, Drew Griffin, and Katrina Hill.
Keep reading for the lyrics so you can sing along with the gurls and geeks.
Greetings Fanboys & Geek Girls
Roll that 18 sided die
We're gonna embark on a master quest
I know a place
Where the geeks all come together
Dorks, gettin' wild
Just to look at action figures
Sippin' Apple Juice
Standing outside in the long lines (it's hot)
The nerds
move their masks
As we hand out all the free bees...
