Perfect Day (of the Dead)

As the New Year approaches, I was sifting through old posts, and ran across this one. It always brings a tear to my eye, and is worth revisiting...

The wacky folks at Zombiecon UK (2008), and more specifically, zombie wrangler extraordinaire Chris Tregenza, have put together a wonderful heart-stopping (I mean heart-warming) music video celebrating their undead exploits across the pond. We zombie-lovers on this side salute you!

Watch it here!

Wanna Make a Zombie -- There's an app for that!

Got an iPhone? Zombie-fie yourself or a close friend (or in-law).

Here's how!

Have a .... holiday

'Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the house
something was stirring
and it wasn't a mouse!

The rest of the family were hung
in the cellar with care
in the hopes that the army
soon would be there.

When up in the attic there arose such a clatter
I sprang from my hideout
to see what was the matter.
The End...

They're closer than you think!

Here is a digital snapshot of what appears to be a zombie-- just turning-- or a teenager who's played X-Box for three days straight. Look at the deadness in his eyes. And what is that on his shirt-- is that brain matter?

You judge for yourself.

Weapons of the Living Dead

This posting did NOT get the attention it deserved-- and who knows-- with the oncoming apocolypse, this discussion of various weapons to fend off the undead may come in handy.

Need some suggestions? Here you go!

The Walking Dead-- HOLY SH*T!

Just finished watching episode 6 of "The Walking Dead".

I can only say HOLY SH*T!!!!!

If I could muster up bigger words without being censored (like HOLY F*CK!!!) I would have done so. AMC network has a MAJOR hit on their hands. This episode was so touching and intense, I can hardly describe it.

If you like zombie flicks (why would you be here otherwise)-- WATCH THIS SHOW!

Zombie "Help-line"

With all of this talk about real zombies-- read our earlier article regarding a WikiLeaks video capture of a zombie or zombies(s) outside a top secret American Army Base (http://zombie-night2.blogspot.com/2010/11/wikileads-and-yes-zombies.html), I think this intiative is one well over-due.

Watch This or Die
The Walking Dead
By Katherine KellerDecember 6, 2010

ShareThis --In fiction werewolves and vampires are all the rage. They're sleek, they're cool, and, once Hollywood gets a hold of them, they're beautiful.Shambling rotting corpses, aka "zombies," have never had quite the same cool as their fanged or furred brothers. There's just no way to make them pretty or seductive. But, as 28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland and the Resident Evil franchise of games and films show, there is a zombie fandom out there. So, why do we think The Walking Dead is appointment TV? Read on and find out.

The Walking Dead - AMC - Televison series

I am at episode 5, just finished watching a woman blast off
the head of her younger sister. The show is not all gore and splatter, mind you. It's not gratuitous, which you might expect. They're really touching on what it's like to be in a war. A real war. I remember reading about World War II-- and how neighbors killed neighbors-- the same people they had a dinner with two weeks ago.

The photography is great-- the actors amazing-- sound is just right. I might be shifting my favorite show to "The Walking Dead"-- I absolutely love "Breaking Bad" -- produced by the same guys (AMC). It's just been too long since a "Breaking Bad." episode. What's holding you up?? Regardless-- both are great... and if you've missed earlier "The Walking Dead"-- go get'm!!

One thing that strikes me about this television show is how it deals on several levels -- it's not just horror, blood and mayhem. They're touching on some pretty gritty subjects like child abuse; infidelity, Spousal abuse.

Another poignant moment in the episode I'm watching is a regular character who is slowly succumbing to the zombie "virus". He has been bitten-- everyone knows-- but he is acting normally-- or trying to. He has a fever-- not a good sign. He even knows it. He's like a "dead man walking."

"Another damn tree,"
"You know it doesn't have to be this way."
"The breeze feels nice."
"Just close your eyes sweetie. Don't worry,"
"Jim-- do you want this?" handing him his pistol.
"No."
"You'll need it."
"I'm OK."
"Thanks for fighting for us."

I haven't got to the end of the episode-- so I won't spoil it for. Suffice it to say-- it's good TV!

(Editor note: I have watched to the end-- this show is AWSOME!!")

For reviews of the actual graphic novels (that have inspired the TV show), read them here-- waaaaaay before it became a TV show.

Real Life interaction with Real Live zombies - WikiLeaks!!!!

UPDATE: Please read the disclaimer at the end of this post)!

This is an actual conversation (and video from the chopper) regarding an engagement with something that just doesn't make sense, Watch through to the end. This is graphic, and I'm warning you ahead. (Please read below-- this is a hoax - my apologies).



My apologies to you who came looking for something that might have been entertaining-- at the very least implausible (ie. zombie related). We've started this site to entertain, at the very least.

I was sent this from a friend who I trust-- telling me about an outrageous attack on civilians that appeared to be zombie-like (OK-- zombie-like can mean a lot things. I do believe I've been very zombie-like-- on occasion-- in my days).. I have watched and re-watched the video. All I see is American soldiers blowing the hell out of defenseless civilians. I think the only mindless zombies are the guys running this war. It breaks my heart. Sorry.

'Zombie' Ants Taken Over by 48M-Year-Old Parasitic Fungus

(Aug. 18) -- Scientists have discovered the earliest evidence -- 48 million years old -- of a fungus that takes over the bodies and minds of ants. "The fungus, which is alive and well in forests today, latches on to carpenter ants as they cross the forest floor before returning to their nests high in the canopy," reports The Guardian.
