There is an amusement park in Japan called Fuji-Q Highland, which offers a huge horror maze called Saikyō Senritsu Meikyū. Recently, as part of publicity stunt by the amusement park, there was a staged press conference stating that the park was going to be closed down in order to train the zombies to be more scary. They even went as far as making videos of the zombie training program!
Thanks to Laura for sending me the article from Pink Tentacle.
I just read on Vault of Horror that Clayton Hill, aka “sweater zombie” passed away at age 78 on Saturday due to complications from pneumonia. Hill’s zombie claim to fame was his role as the white sweater vest wearing brain-eater in the Romero classic Dawn of the Dead. Hill leaves behind his wife Sharon Ceccatti, who played her own memorable zombie role in DotD as “nurse zombie”.
Clayton and Sharon were often seen at horror conventions together, signing autographs for all of us crazy zombie fans.
Rest in peace, Clayton. Thank you for being a part of zombie pop culture.
I found this neat little story on a food blog called Eat Me Daily. In May of this year, an in-flight magazine for the airline Vueling published a pictorial called “El Ataque de las Tapas Zombies”, or “Attack of the Tapas Zombies”. Ling has since pulled the magazine because of this cool photo spread, but you can still view the whole thing online here.
tapas, which, after prolonged storage in badly refrigerated displays, have experienced changes in their genetic code and, finding themselves bloodthirsty, have started to rebel against the human race… The authorities have placed the entire city of Madrid under quarantine. Citizens are advised not to leave the house during meal times and to fasten their fridges with insulating tape.
You gotta be careful with food that used to be alive. That shit will kill you! (sorry. I couldn’t resist.)
Check it out, undead and those that fight them! DC Comics is kicking off the summer with a major comic book event beginning in the Green Lantern series. The event chronicles the battle between the Green Lantern Corps and the Black Lanterns – the resurrected dead of heroes and villains alike! From just the prologue, it has undead, superheroes, super-villains and even necrophilia!
This is not your Dad’s Superman, Batman or anyone else.
Get ready for the “Blackest Night!”
For more, check out the DC Comics website listing here.
Synopsis:
North of Paris. In order to avenge the murder of one of their own by a group of ruthless gangsters, corrupt cops four go on a rampage in a condemned building serving as the mobster’s hideout. Now trapped, the officers are about to be executed when the unimaginable occurs: hordes of bloodthirsty, cannibalistic creatures invade the building, savagely attacking everyone. Unexpected alliances are made when their lives are threatened by the unthinkable.
Yep. Gangsters vs. Cops vs. Zombies.

Another Monday, another awesome Threadless shirt.
I’m, uh… I’m just gonna let this one kind of speak for itself. I’m not sure that I can find words for it, and if I could, I’m not sure they’d do it justice.
This is by artist Ken Marshall, and you can buy it from Threadless here.
I’ve been looking forward to Dead Snow, the Norweigian Zombie Nazi movie for a while now (when you hear about a new Zombie Nazi movie, you pretty much immediately start looking forward to it).
The film was released yesterday in theaters in New York and L.A. via IFC and IFC On Demand, although since the On Demand version that’s been released is dubbed, I highly recommend waiting until the DVD to see it if you’re not lucky enough to be near a theater that’s playing it.
And although the film’s reviews so far have been mixed at best, I’m still pretty effin’ stoked about it. Which is why it brings me pleasure to say that our good friend, B-Sol over at The Vault of Horror has posted an exclusive new trailer for the flick.
Click on over to The Vault to check it out.
While the world takes note that the “King of Pop” has passed away, we, the zombies, undead and those that fight them, take note that a great creative talent has died. Despite the media circus attraction that Jackson had deteriorated into, none of us can ignore his contributions with the movie-music-videos of “Ghosts,” “Torture” and, of course, “Thriller.”
Rest in Peace, Michael Joseph Jackson. 1948-2009
