Well it had to happen. Yes we get a new thread called... ALL THINGS ZOMBIES!!!!!! well since we think we are, then why not... here is where Zombie topics and stuff goes... smiles tick If you love zombies whether they are fast or slow, infected or mind controlled, then you need to dig into John Joseph Adams' new anthology The Living Dead. With stories by (among others) Kelly Link, George R. R. Martin, Clive Barker, Poppy Z. Brite, and Dan Simmons, this anthology explores every inch of the zombie landscape. Adams, who also just released the amazing collection Seeds of Change, is this season's It Anthology Editor. The best part? You can read Kelly Link's entire zombie story, "Some Zombie Contingency Plans," for free online. Here's an excerpt from her weird tale, which is as much about prison social networking websites as it is about zombies. Link's main character, an ex-con named Soap, is infatuated with zombies, and here he explains why:
Zombies weren’t complicated. It wasn’t like werewolves or ghosts or vampires. Vampires, for example, were the middle/upper-middle management of the supernatural world. Some people thought of vampires as rock stars, but really they were more like Martha Stewart. Vampires were prissy. They had to follow rules. They had to look good. Zombies weren’t like that. You couldn’t exorcise zombies. You didn’t need luxury items like silver bullets or crucifixes or holy water. You just shot zombies in the head, or set fire to them, or hit them over the head really hard . . . Zombies didn’t discriminate. Everyone tasted equally good as far as zombies were concerned. And anyone could be a zombie. You didn’t have to be special, or good at sports, or good-looking. You didn’t have to smell good, or wear the right kind of clothes, or listen to the right kind of music. You just had to be slow. Read the rest today at lunch.

Ok X-mas is on the way and every Zombie lover needs to have this baby. yes, your own ZOMBIE..... laughs and this is for real....... Dismember-Me Plush Zombie Cuddle-Up with the Un-Dead What happens when you take old broken plush toys and bury them in the woods by the light of the full moon while whistling the theme song from "Halloween"? Unfortunately nothing...  which is why the skillful design monkeys here at ThinkGeek were forced to come-up with our own scary (but cute) zombie plush. The Dismember-Me Plush Zombie begs to be torn limb from limb. After all he is a decaying re-animated corpse turned into irresistible cuddly plush. Rip off an arm... he doesn't mind. Tear him in half.. he'll barely notice. Pull off his legs... ok now he's getting a bit annoyed. Steal his brain... now you've really done it. Keep your teddy bears under close guard tonight because undead plush have come back from hell to walk the earth.

Plus for that Zombie lover, why not let him or her show their friendsd why they are a zombie with.... The Zen of Zombie Better Living Through the Undead At first thought, zombies seem like evil monstrosities. Sure they eat brains and leave body parts all over the place - but the lessons one can learn from a zombie far outweigh their health risks. One brave author (now, alas, undead) spent some time with the zombies in disguise, took what he learned from them, and adapted zombie life lessons into The Zen of Zombie. This book is special. It will not help you kill zombies, but it will teach you to think like one and "reanimate yourself for success." 'But what can I learn from zombies?' you are asking yourself. The answer: plenty. In The Zen of Zombie you'll learn some interesting skills, such as: - How to adapt to anything life (or the living) throws at you
- How to slow down
- How to remove prejudice from your life (a brain is a brain is a brain)
- How to find strength in numbers (zombie Horde, anyone?)
- How to stop negotiating and start demanding what you want (zombies don't settle for a nose - they want the brain)
- How to make each word count (zombies want brains, zombies say "brains")
- and much, much more!
You'll also learn the 24 habits of highly effective zombies and you'll work through the 90 day guide to a better, more zombified you. Because the true way to inner peace requires you to become like the undead. Oohhmmmmmmmbbbrrrains. |

and how about a...... Zombie Protest T-shirt..... Simple Guidelines for Organizing Your Zombie Protest Congratulations! We're glad you're ready to fight for zombie rights. This article outlines some of the steps involved and the associated pitfalls to avoid when planning a successful zombie gathering. Leadership. As you know, it is vital that some of the living remain in positions of leadership in the organization to provide the necessary motivation and thought-process behind running a large organization. Although, for consistency, you probably want your highest official to be a zombie in order to have him speak incoherently at corporate meetings and drool convincingly in discussions with politicians. However, leadership at the event should be an intelligent human, sympathetic to zombie rights. As the event coordinator, this human can provide guidance via a megaphone and also serves as a rallying point around which zombies will gather. Occasionally this "gathering" leads to "dismemberment" so you want to ensure that your event coordinator is expendable. This position fits nicely for zombie-rights activists hoping to transition to the less-demanding, zombie lifestyle. Attendance. You might have a whole legion of supporters, but it's important to mobilize your zombie protesters so that they show up on the day of the event. Plan ahead so that folks can put it on their calendars. You can notify the mindless via your MySpace or Facebook account. Pass out leaflets to ensure the interested are notified. We've found that promising that there will be beer and brains brings the college-aged zombies out en masse in particular. Location. We recommend a popular location with high-visibility for maximum exposure to the uninitiated. Although some organizations prefer the march, we find it easier to choose a specific place to protest. Shambling does not lend itself to marching, and zombies tend to get distracted more easily while in motion. Check with your local city hall to find out if you need a permit to gather at the location you've chosen. Remember that some of your supporters undoubtedly have physical impairments, so ensure your site is fully accessible. Coverage. It's important to get your event covered by the media so that your reach is greater than those present at the event. After all, they all may have been eaten, even the well-intentioned, amenable-to-Zombie-rights ones (sometimes they're the tastiest). Documentary film makers, such as George A. Romero, are an indispensable resource in getting the word out. Make use of them as whenever possible. "Zombies Were People Too" on a sandwich-board-clad zombie in black, blood red, and rotting-flesh green on a military green, 100% cotton t-shirt. http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts-apparel/unisex/generic/ae5e/ it is not as cool as our Zomie Rights Zombie but still... snickers |

The real bummer here is this will not be avail til 1-4-09. I know a real bummer, but I may get me one of these, or more... snickers R/C Zombie Life isn't fair. Some people are born with good looks, others are born with exceptional talents and skills, and still others are born with massive intelligence. You? Well, you were born with all of those qualities (we know . . . just like us). But what to do with the rest of the world - all those inferior to you? We recommend unleashing the undead. Not a horde or anything that could get out of control, but just a single Zombie to feast on the tiny brains who work around you. You are in full control of this zombie, don't worry. Just use the Brain Remote Control and your undead minion will obey your command to shamble forward towards its intended meal. And just to show you how much it likes you, your R/C Zombie will groan as it shuffles, too (press button, he walks and groans; press it again, he stops). To help your zombie, you can also pose its articulated neck, shoulders, and hips. Just keep reminding your zombie that it shouldn't eat a big brain like yours; it should eat many little brains like those found in your coworkers' heads. Because studies have shown that many little meals during the day are much better for you than one big meal. Braaaaiiiiins.
| R/C Zombie - Features: Unbelievable walking and groaning r/c action; articulated neck, shoulders, and hips (for extra posability)
- Includes: R/C Zombie (7.75" tall) and Brain-shaped Remote Control (2.75" long)
- Batteries: 3 AAA (not included)
Braaaains. http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/rc/a19a/ | |

ok we knew it had to happen, laughs Friends would do this for friends... right??? check out the site for the trailer. I am so there when it opens... tick What if your best friend was a zombie? Would you be brave enough to hold an intervention? News about George's Intervention circulated in October, but I missed the trailer. From the looks of it, the little B film could be pretty funny. The comedic timing is pretty spot on and the gore looks pretty fantastic, but the trailer is NSFW so beware. George's Intervention is set to release in 2009. Here's the official synopsis: George's friends have gathered for an intervention... George's intervention. You see, George is a zombie. And his friends are hoping to convince him to stop eating people. Plus, it's unhealthy. The meat is raw. And who knows where these people have been. With the help of a professional interventionist George's friends confront George regarding his "addiction." But over the course of the night his friends begin to disappear. Have they given up hope that George's Intervention will be successful? Or have they become dinner? |

OMG!!! I love me this cover. now why aren't all zombie girls or fighters this hot???? snickers tick It's starting to get chilly, but the ladies from Norwegian undead-Nazi fighting flick Dead Snow will keep you warm. Their Spirit cover is gorgeous. Sigh, no one does magazine covers like this anymore. Evy Kasseth Røsten, Charlotte Frogner and Jenny Skavlan look amazing, and this movie will do amazing at Sundance mark my words. Check out the latest trailer and learn how to slaughter an attacking group of undead jerks. |

ok this one belongs here ( see over in foreign independant film thread) if nothing else for the clip. balls to the wall action and of course, a kick ass woman!!! I hope we get this one over here or at least as a region ZERO DVD release... tick When Quiet Earth reader, Kaiju expert, and PA enthusiast Avery drops you a line that simply says 'ZOMBIES!!' you perk up and pay attention no matter what time it is or how many glasses of Macallan single malt you're down. If you didn't already guess it from the title, Paris by Night of the Living Dead is a French zombie film that's being produced by Bach Films and which has been in the can for over a year. After the break we've got a wicked little promo reel for the film. Even though it tells us hardly anything about the storyline, it's chalk full of just enough martial arts mayhem and gory zombie butt kicking to make it totally worthwhile...hold on... just back from a quick chat with quietearth. It seems we've already been in contact with the production on this one (why am I not surprised?) so hopefully there's a trailer in our future. Oh yeah, and I guess there's a 15 minute behind the scenes featurette worth checking out. |
