The trailer for the first of four contenders for Next Big Movie Based on a Paranormal Romance, was featured, appropriately, before screenings of the final installment of Twilight. This one, however, adds some humor to the love story about a teenage zombie who falls in love with a human who happens to be the daughter of a zombie killer (Montagues and Capulets, anyone?), played by John Malkovich.

The tie-in (S&S/Atria/Emily Bestler) arrives Dec. 25. The movie arrives Feb. 1.

The book’s author, Isaac Marion noted on his blog in October that he is working on a sequel.

The other Next Big Movie Based on a Paranormal Romance contenders coming next year are:

Feb 13 — Beautiful Creatures — Based on the first in a four-part YA paranormal romance series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

March 29 — The Host — Based on a standalone alien romance novel by Stephenie Meyer

Aug 23 — Mortal Instruments — Based on the first two titles in a six-part YA urban fantasy series by Cassandra Clare
