The Zombie Pinups photographer was unable to make it to the Chicago Horror Film Fest a few weeks ago and, as a result, we have virtually NO photos of the event. If you have photos of the Zombie Pinups Beauty Pageant from the Chicago Horror Film Festival 2010, please please please send them to savage@zombiepinups.com – you’ll be fully credited for your work!

The Chicago Horror Film Festival, Sinister Visions and ZombiePinups.com are pleased to announce the Third Annual CHFF Zombie Pinup Beauty Pageant!

On Saturday, September 25, put on your sexiest classic pinup outfit and your most gruesome zombie make up, and compete to win the coveted title of Miss Zombie Queen 2010! The Pageant will be hosted once again by the erstwhile (and sticky) Master Ron Fitzgerald, judged by qualified zombie/horror/beauty experts TBA, and awarded awesome horror-themed prizes for First, Second & Third Place.

Judging will be based on quality of make up / effects and costume.

All contestants will be photographed for a special gallery at ZombiePinups.com; winners will, of course, get optimal placement.
