GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Slash has signed on to executive produce the feature documentary Black Zombie, a film about the origins of zombies in Haitian folklore and their connection to slavery and resistance.

The film will premiere this weekend at the South By Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.

Directed by Maya Annik Bedward, Black Zombie explores common misrepresentations of the zombie figure and delves into its history from Hollywood horror to its roots in Haiti.

The documentary features appearances by Slash, Yves-Grégory Francois, Anderson Mojica, musical artist and Vodou priest Erol Josué, special effects legend Tom Savini ("Night Of The Living Dead") and filmmaker Zandashé Brown ("Horror Noire").

Black Zombie public screenings include a showing at 2:45 p.m.

CST on Friday, March 13 at Alamo Lamar 6 in Austin, Texas.

Additional showtimes are scheduled for Saturday, March 14 at both the Alamo Lamar 3 and Alamo Lamar 1 theaters in Austin, Texas.

Tuesday, March 17 showings will take place at Violet Crown 3 and Violet Crown 1 theaters in Austin, Texas.

Slash, who has released six solo albums including his debut self-titled album in 2010 and most recent full-length release "4" in 2022 via Gibson Records, is no stranger to the world of horror and has amassed over $100 million dollars in album sales throughout his career.

His work with GUNS N' ROSES and VELVET REVOLVER earned him a spot as No.
