Pinupocalypse is a mix of 50's sci-fi and horror tropes reimagined with a clever twist. Set in 1950's small town America, this satirical adventure pits two stylish pin-up girls against hordes of zombies and aliens. Inspired by Hollywood filmmakers like Ed Wood, Sam Raimi and Edgar Wright, Pinupocalypse is an out-of-this-world story with a Gil Elvgren aesthetic to titillate readers!
Trapped on the roof of the local cinema, our heroines realize that the aliens have no reason to let them live. Several blasts of the "death ray" bring the building crashing down, leaving our friends face-to-face with a new deadly threat!
