‘When The Zombies Come,’ Apocalypse Prep Documentary, Offends ACE Hardware (VIDEO)

Employees at an ACE Hardware store in rural Georgia turned their love of AMC's "The Walking Dead" into a zombie obsession. But their preparations for a zombie apocalypse, captured in a documentary accepted by the Sundance Film Festival, have "offended" ACE Hardware and may cost some participants their jobs.

A group of college students from Georgia State are behind the pseudo-mockumentary, "When the Zombies Come," about the zombie-loving employees of a Lawrenceville, Ga., ACE Hardware store.

The characters' obsession has warped the way they see the store and its customers. Perhaps most affected is the self-professed group leader, Alex Warner, who describes in the short film how he is using tools available at the store to prepare a zombie apocalypse, should one ever arrive.
