VH1 is getting scary? (insert joke about their line-up of terrible reality series starring random has-been celeb). But seriously, the blood curling sensation that fills all of you horror fans has hit the cable station hard. Just after announcing their horror-themed reality series Scream Queens, VH1 is giving us something else to scream about. America?s Next Top Zombie Idol, a mockumentary written and directed by Attack of the Show?s Blair Butler, will set itself in a house of eight zombies living together and competing for the title of? zombie idol? Sounds funny ? reality TV (that isn?t even set in any kind of reality) needs someone to give it a good rip. I?m tired of being solely responsible for doing it every morning. The show?s pilot will shoot later this month and air on VH1 for the ?08-?09 season.
