Zombie Head pendant

Zombie Head pendant

I can always count on Etsy for the best zombie-related stuff.

That’s where you’ll find hand-scuplted and hand-painted, one-of-a-kind jewelry by the aptly named ZombieHead.

They have already been featured in Girls and Corpses Magazine, Fracture Magazine, Synergy Magazine, and ShriekFreak Quarterly, as well as several blogs. So if you see a head you like, snap it up before it’s gone. (Did I mention they’re one of a kind?)

She also does custom pieces, in case you want your zombie head to look like someone in particular…

George Romero’s much anticipated new Zombie movie Survival of the Dead (formally called “…of the Dead”) is scheduled to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival  in September, but in the meantime you can see some stills here. And you can see the trailer here.

If you are college student, or a fan of the Stephen Colbert Report, then you are probably already well aware of the game that is sweeping campuses across the country: Human vs Zombie. Start a game at your school. It may not be enough to prepare you for the real zombie apocalypse, but it is a lot of fun.

Here’s a fun little iPhone app.
In Case if Zombies
offers an arsenal of zombie fighting weapons behind glass (like those “in case of fire, break glass” alarms) that you access by tapping to “break” the glass. Think of it as a Swiss army knife for killing zombies. Compatible with iPhone and iPod Touch.

I am a huge fan of old zombie movies. You know, the ones that are unintentionally funny and all the zombies look like they have ping pong balls for eyes? So I am intrigued to learn that RKO Pictures is teaming up with Twisted Pictures to remake the 1943 classic I Walked with a Zombie. I am not sure how well the original will translate into a modern horror film, but I can’t wait to find out.

You can read more about it here.

zharmon

With Valentine’s Day coming up, I thought it would be a good time to mention Zombie Harmony, a dating web site for zombies with the tag line, “because the apocalypse doesn’t have to be lonely.”

Sadly, the site is just a clever marketing scheme by Mingle2, a real online dating site for living humans. So my dream of finding a zombie boyfriend will remain (for now) unfulfilled.

Six free posters are available for download at Gamestop.com to promote the new Dead Rising game that ships on February 24. They’re done in the style of those silly motivational posters that corporate America loves so much. Do you think your boss would mind if you replaced one of those posters with this:
