• Zombie Strippers is a comedic horror film in which a strip club in the American Midwest is infected by a government-produced virus that re-animates corpses. After an infected "zombie stripper" becomes wildly successful, the other strippers are faced with the difficult choice of contracting the zombie virus as well or retaining their humanity. The plot resembles that of a philosophical French play written in the late 50s, and other details of the movie indicate that the film is at least somewhat influenced by philosophy, although it is not clear if these influences extend deeper than mere resemblance. The cast of Zombie Strippers includes a number of stars who have a cult following about them, including adult entertainer Jenna Jameson and horror film icon Robert Englund.
