Fido is one of those weird, indy films that has ‘CULT’ written all over it. Basically a boy and his dog story – where boy fights to keep dog against all odds. Only difference is that the ‘dog’ Fido just happens to be Billy Connolly playing a 6ft tall collared zombie not adverse to snacking on the neighbours.
The Forbidden Planet store in New York City is sponsoring a special showing of the movie where you can actually meet up with Billy himself and we’ll also be offering complimentary Zombie Transformations to guests by professional makeup artists Josh Potter and crew, all courtesy of New York Costumes!
