In the latest instalment of the zombie film saga that refuses to die, Victoria Police this morning raided the home of Richard Wolstencroft, the director of the Melbourne Underground Film Festival (MUFF), seeking a copy of the prohibited film LA Zombie.

The gay-porn-horror movie, by Canadian underground filmmaker Bruce LaBruce, was screened by Wolstencroft before about 200 people on August 29 despite effectively being forbidden from public exhibition in this country.

Gore ... The film stars several prominent gay porn stars, actors and models.

In July, the Classification Board refused to grant an exemption from classification to the film, which was originally slated to appear in the Melbourne International Film Festival that month.

However, on August 11, Wolstencroft announced his intention to stage a "public disobedience freedom of speech event" — an illegal screening of the film — on August 29.
