DEADLINE (FORMERLY CUBE GHOULS)

DEADLINE (FORMERLY CUBE GHOULS)
By Laurie Notch

GENRE: Musical, Horror
LOGLINE:

Temp worker Katie Madigan and a handful of coworkers fight with corporate zombies at Brainware Corp. who try to bring them into the ranks of the undead in order to cut costs. Add to the bloody mayhem the IT geek and the suave VP of Sales vying for Katie's love. This is Shaun of the Dead meets Office Space... as a musical-zombedy!

SYNOPSIS:

Brainware Corp is a research and development company that bids for government contracts as they relate to hardware and software applications, but in truth this is a cover for secret and nefarious projects for the military-industrial complex. New temp worker Katie Madigan (a recovering self-cutter with dreams of finding love and business success), VP of Sales Frank Lothario and other Red Team members are compelled by CEO Karl Borloff to work late one night with no overtime pay in order to finish a project deadline. Once the building is secured in lockdown, her co-workers turn into flesh eating ghouls. Katie, Frank, and three others they encounter on their attempt to escape must battle the insidious ghouls and survive the night until the secure building opens at dawn. During the night-long escapade, a white rabbit that has escaped from the lab leads Katie and gang down the rabbit hole of the corporate living dead. NOTE: There is a musical version of this premise as well.
