Story Summary


Set during “the day the sky exploded,” the story follows two young women, Foxy and Roxy, whose idyllic 1950s day is interrupted by a sudden alien attack that releases a mysterious gas turning the townsfolk into flesh-hungry zombies . As their small town (aptly named Pinupolis) descends into chaos, the pin-up duo arm themselves and team up to survive hordes of brain-eating neighbors and flying saucer invasions. Along the way they encounter everything from bug-eyed aliens to rampaging mutants, all with a satirical twist. Despite the seemingly apocalyptic stakes, Pinupocalypse maintains a playful, almost action-comedy vibe – the violence is stylized (green alien blood splatters instead of red gore) and the dialogue is peppered with cheeky one-liners and vintage pop-culture quotes. The themes center on friendship and girl-power under pressure: the heroines rely on each other’s wits and courage to navigate mad science labs and zombie-infested diners. Numerous B-movie tropes get subverted or homage-paid (for example, one heroine briefly becomes a zombie herself due to alien “undeadifying gas,” only to be saved by a clever twist involving alien-made bracelets) . In the end, the tale stays true to its pulpy roots by delivering a “happy ending” rather than nihilistic horror – without spoiling too much, humanity is cured and Foxy even makes it home to her family, avoiding any grim fate or cop-out dream sequence . The result is a complete story that stands as a loving parody of 1950s sci-fi/horror, mixing genuine suspense with humor and pin-up style panache.
