Ramsay Street residents will contend with zombies as part of a new web series for Neighbours.
Neighbours opening titles sequence, for the 25th anniversary of the Aussie soap.
The Skip Ahead programme will give five popular YouTube channel artists funding and production resources for their work, The Age reports.
One recipient, Louna Maroun, will team up with FremantleMedia to devise five-parts to the Neighbours zombie web series.
''It's just poking fun,'' she said. ''It will be really tongue in cheek. It won't freak everyone out. I'm hoping to see a lot of comedy, as that's what I do best.''
Maroun was enlisted by FremantleMedia after the production company discovered the artist's YouTube channel that consists of Frankenweenie spoofs and Halloween specials.
Filming on the Neighbours web series is due to begin in a few months.
