As we reported earlier this week, Robert Z’Dar (Maniac Cop, Tango & Cash) passed away on Monday night. His death is a huge loss for the horror community, but his legacy will live on through his extensive film work.

One of his final movies is Easter Sunday, an indie slasher throwback. I am fortunate enough to be an executive producer on the project. In honor of Z’Dar, we have some new images of the cult actor on set and in the film. 

“It is with an incredibly saddened heart that I learned of the passing of my friend, Robert Z’Dar,” states writer-director-actor Jeremy Todd Morehead. “Robert and I became friends in 2012. We remained in contact ever since. He called me on my wedding day to congratulate me. Robert always told his friends ‘I love ya, buddy.’ before hanging up the phone. Love ya too, man. Rest in peace.”

Easter Sunday will premiere at Martinsville Horrorfest in Collinsville, Virginia on October 23, along with a tribute to Z’Dar. Tickets for the event are on sale now, and you can save $10 by entering the code EasterSunday at checkout.

Easter Sunday stars the late Z’Dar as Sheriff Arkin, alongside Morehead, Edward X. Young, Jason Delgado, Paige Taylor, Christine Galbraith, William Bozarth, Jon McKoy, Travis Marion, Shawn C. Phillips and Ari Lehman (Friday the 13th).
