Directors/writers: Bret Pierce and Drew T. Pierce.
Deadheads is a zomedy in the vein of Shaun of the Dead, Aaah! Zombies!!, and A Little Bit Zombie. The film here is most remiscent of Shaun of the Dead in which two friends try to deal with the zombie apocalypse to moderate results. However in this film Mike (Michael McKiddy) and Brent (Ross Kidder) are not of the living. Instead, they are zombies released from a military lab'. The next 90 minutes is then a road trip styled film as the characters are pursued by the scientists. Deadheads blends genres along the way including: comedy, action and romance. Pandering to so many genres seems to weaken all of them, but overall this is a fun film for zombie movie fans.
Mike and Brent meet up with Cliff (Harry Burkey) after their escape. Cliff is burying the renowned prostitute Pei-Pei's ashes in Lake Michigan.

Deadheads answers the burning questions like: “What happens when you’re a zombie and you get boarded up in a bar with a bunch of gun-wielding humans waiting to blow away the first zombie that crosses their path?”
The new horror-comedy from “The Pierce Brothers” blasts us with pure retro fun, right from the scratchy, grindhousing beginning credits then into the story of Mike Kellerman (Michael McKiddy), who’s just awakened from a three-year coma to find himself a walking/talking zombie. He soon befriends Brent (Ross Kidder), a bubbly, talkative slacker with a similar issue. The guys are then joined by the mindless zombie Cheese (Markus Taylor) and picked up by Nam vet Cliff (Harry Burkey).
The group sets out on a cross-country mission to find Mike’s lost love, Ellie (Natalie Victoria) and also to find the answer to another burning question: “Why are they the only zombies that can talk?...
