Anyway, my curiosity led me to search if the whole film was on YT, Dailymotion, or a streaming site. Welp, it’s not readily available.
So I decided to look at the cast list just to see if anyone moved on to more noticeable work. No one stuck out... except for one:

The Day of Swine and Roses??? Considering Hartman was at the height of his popularity, and Lovitz being a well respected supporting character actor in the industry at the time, I was dying to see if I could find any information on the planned film’s plot. But so far, I’ve found nothing.
Except the obvious first link:

Why did this search have to end with Christian Zombie Vampires...another catchy refrain 🤗
