Zombies on the march in Blackpool for Redcon-1 screening
But fortunately, the zombies that invaded on Sunday were harmless enough – having turned out for the screening of a new film that was partly shot on the Fylde coast.
Some of the closing scenes of Redcon-1 – an independent “zombie action war film” – were filmed on St Annes beach. And Sunday saw local audiences given the chance to see the film at Blackpool’s Odeon cinema.

Matt said he was pleased with the audience feedback.
“It’s been really good,” he added. “We’ve had quite a lot of extras bringing friends and family. We had 150 seats sold one night.”
Redcon-1 is touring UK cinemas this month, and will be at Vue in Preston tonight and tomorrow.
