Line #155 Characters/RockabillyZombieWeekend


1	[[folder: The Main Group]]
2
3	!!Grant
4	--> '''Played By''': Creator/DanielBaldock
5
6	The protagonist of the film and the groom at the wedding. Grant is a tattooed, slick redneck driving a classic pickup and loving his bride-to-be against his mother's disapproval. When the zombies show, he and Tommy quickly take point and try to get their friends and family out of harm's way.
7
8	----
9	* ActionSurvivor
10	* BerserkButton: Not even his mother gets away with insulting his bride-to-be.
11	* CoolCar: His 40s vintage pickup.
12	* DisappearedDad: His father is never seen or mentioned.
13	* JustAFleshWound: Completely averted when he takes a bullet to the leg, which causes immediate dizziness and loss of consciousness from blood loss and pain. While occasional adrenaline rushes help speed him up a little, he's left limping throughout the rest of the film and almost always needs someone's help to move.
14
15	!!Becky
16	--> '''Played By''': Creator/ChristinaBachNorman
17
18	The {{Deuteragonist}} of the film and bride at the wedding. Just as tattooed as Grant and with an even cooler car, but more emotionally fragile and takes the various deaths and dismemberments much harder.
19
20	----
21	* ActionSurvivor: Mostly toward the end, as she's forced to help defend the wounded Grant and helps concoct the final escape plan.
22	* CoolCar: Her black 1969 Mercury Marauder X100, a relatively rare muscle car.
23
24	!!Tommy
25	--> '''Played By''': Creator/JBenedictLarmore
26
27	Grant's best friend and second-in-command, Tommy is just as tough as his best friend and has a similar fashion sense and personality (though a bit more openly flirtatious thanks to being single).
28
29	----
30	* BookDumb: Implied by some of Bo's snarks about him.
31	* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]
32
33	!!Patti
34	--> '''Played By''': Creator/MelissaGruver
35
36	Becky's mother, a crack addict who "gives handjobs in the restroom" at Shifty's Bar, where she works as a bartender. Patti is a haggard mess stuck in a rut, ruined by drug abuse and a mean husband.
37
38	----
39	%%* KilledOffForReal
40	* ZombieInfectee: [[spoiler:Thanks to a ''spider'', no less]].
41
42	!!Bo
43	--> '''Played By''': Randy Molnar
44
45	Becky's father, a fat, old, perverted hick who doesn't care for his wife and drunkenly leers after Micca. Despite this, he still has some good in him...
46
47	----
48	* DirtyOldMan: One of his first actions in the film is getting a long view of Micca's butt in short shorts.
49	%%* DrivenToSuicide
50	%%* {{Jerkass}}
51	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Buried ridiculously deep under a thick layer of perversion and drunken abuse, but his love for Patti is in there somewhere. And the first time he's seen after the zombies hit is when he's saving innocent people at the hospital and battling a horde by himself.
52	%%* KilledOffForReal
53
54	!!Woody
55	--> '''Played By''': Mark Chandler
56
57	A much kinder and calmer man than Bo, though with a rather creepy pet tarantula. The polar opposite of Bo: tall and lanky, long hair, and a fatherly demeanor and great love for Becky. Despite his odd appearance, he maintains a state of rationality and helps out as much as he can.
58
59	----
60	* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]
61	* [[spoiler: ZombieInfectee]]: Though it's not revealed until a long way into the escape, and it's unclear how it occurred.
62
63	!!Micca
64	--> '''Played By''': Michelle Elise
65
66	Becky's best friend and target of some early perversion by Bo, who accompanies her to the wedding and quickly gets swept up in the chaos of the impending zombie apocalypse.
67
68	----
69	* MsFanservice: Shows more skin than anyone else, and the film and trailer both have lingering shots of her ass in short shorts.
70	* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]: With a lingering shot of [[spoiler: her bloody corpse with brains splattered in a puddle of blood]] in case it's not clear.
71	* [[spoiler: ZombieInfectee]]
72
73	----
74	*
75
76	!!Layla
77	--> '''Played By''': Julie Moss
78
79	A shrill harpy of a woman and Grant's mother, who massively disapproves of his marriage to Becky (viewing her family as white trash) and maintains a distinctly different sense of style and attitude from her firmly "country boy" son.
80
81	----
82	* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]
83
84	!!Ginger
85	--> '''Played By''': Emily Cutting
86
87	One of Becky's friends who ends up going with the group during their escape, and ends up [[spoiler: shooting the turned Micca.]]
88
89	----
90	* FlatCharacter: Mostly exists to provide another potential death to the group. Her biggest moment is taking the gun to go check on Micca in the convenience store and [[spoiler: being forced to shoot her when she comes out as a zombie.]]
91	* [[spoiler: ZombieInfectee]]: Though she [[spoiler: gets eaten in the truck before turning from her bite, she starts to show signs beforehand.]]
92	[[/folder]]
93
94	[[folder: Others]]
95	!!Tall Joe
96	--> '''Played By''': Jayvo Scott
97
98	A big mechanic friend of Grant's and Tommy's, and [[spoiler: possibly the first at the wedding to get infected.]]
99
100	----
101	* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]
102
103	!!Silverback
104	--> '''Played By''': [[UsefulNotes/MixedMartialArts [=MMA=] fighter Seth Petruzelli]]
105
106	Another friend of Grant and Tommy, a very muscular man and expert fighter who gets to put the beatdown on some zombies in his own special way.
107
108	----
109	* AdvertisedExtra: Only has a handful of lines and a short fight scene, but is one of three actors advertised on the posters. The reason for this is exposure: Christina Bach, J. LaRose, and Seth Petruzelli are either experienced actors with an existing resume or are a celebrity in some other fashion, whereas the majority of the others are relatively minor locals.
110	* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]
111
112	!!Sinister Minister
113	--> '''Played By''': Mandaddy
114
115	The "alternative" minister brought in to officiate the wedding, a snarky man in a black and red robe.
116
117	----
118	* AsHimself: Sort of. Mandaddy does the Sinister Minister weddings for real (one of many with a similar concept), and the character in the film is essentially a carbon copy of the real man right down to his wit. He's still credited by his stage name, but they're essentially one and the same.
119	%%* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]
120
121	!!Curtis
122	--> '''Played By''': J. LaRose
123
124	A drifter who came into the area shortly before the zombies arrived and is found hiding in the back of a local convenience store by the heroes.
125
126	----
127	* AdvertisedExtra: As explained above, one of the three advertised actors on the main promotional material despite being a minor one-shot character.
128	* CoolBike
129
130	!!Shifty
131	--> '''Played By''': Greg Neff
132
133	Owner of the eponymous Shifty's Bar, a grumpy old man who starts to feel a little ill....
134
135	----
136
137	!!BJ
138	--> '''Played By''': Nikoma DeMitro
139
140	Another of Becky's friends at the wedding.
141
142	----
143	* FlatCharacter: BJ is little more than a named extra with a few lines, and [[spoiler: gets eaten in the opening seconds of the zombie apocalypse.]]
144	* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]
145
146	!!The Doctor
147	--> '''Played By''': Rusty Riegert
148
149	No relation to the ''Series/DoctorWho'' protagonist. A doctor at the local hospital who tags along with the group for a (very) short time after they rescue him.
150
151	----
152	* FlatCharacter: Doesn't stay with the group long enough to do much more than try to heal Grant's leg wound.
153	* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]
154
155	!!Pete
156	--> '''Played By''': Scott Singer
157
158	A biker who gets sprayed with the mosquito repellent (along with Shifty) and starts feeling queasy as he tries to head for home....
159
160	----
161	* BadassBiker
162	* CoolBike: Scott Singer runs a real life custom bike shop, Insta-Gator Choppers. You just KNOW he's got a nice ride.
163	* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]
