I have run across a few blogs lately about weight loss. What does this have to do with zombies you ask? These weight loss blogs use as their inspiration for weight loss the inevitable zombie apocalypse. The next time you are feeling sluggish, have a daydream on what you would do if you had information that z-day was here. Following the rules can actually help keep you insipred for your weight loss journey. Rule #1, afterall, is cardio.
One of the ladies blogging about getting in shape mentiones doing it for the upcoming "Run for your Lives." To read more on that, visit their site-> or read our previous blog about it->
If you are having a zombie-tastic weight loss journey, let us know how you are doing with it!
Want to show the world your brains? Here is your chance! I would, however, caution you that zombies find them particularly tasty, so wear this hat with caution in case of an outbreak... It is pretty darn awesome, though... Click here to buy the pattern and support the college kid who made it, cause then you can show your brain power too!
The Oxford Internet Institute did a study this holiday season to see what people were searching for. Obviously the holiday season puts the jolly old man fresh on your mind, but both zombies and Satan still did really well comparatively! Here is a snapshot of Zombies vs Satan. I am pretty sure zombies win... Also, click here to read the entire story.

Bring in the new year in style with 12 months of what hot ladies are going to look like after the apocalypse! You may want to stick with the advice of, "look, but don't touch," because these ladies bite!
Peta has a newish campaign called, "Flesh is for Zombies." You can play wack a zombie on their website, where you can wack zombies on the head with a piece of broccoli, after being prompted to take a pledge not to eat meat while alive. Doesn't sound like a fair trade off to me... I am sticking with steak!
We found out in last night's Walking Dead episode what the family is keeping their un-dead loved ones that have turned in the barn. They are feeding them and keeping them alive. It makes me wonder how many people would do something like that? Would you be able to shoot your significant other in the head? Would you be able to realize your once beloved Aunt Sally was no longer a joke telling baker, but now a flesh eating ghoul? Would you be able to draw your gun on a small child with curly locks if they were running after you? I would think most people who have lived through the zombie apocalypse would be able to separate themselves from the un-dead, but the more I think about it, the more I realize most people probably can not. It would admittedly be hard. Even the most bad ass, zombie hating tough guy would have a moment when having to shoot their most beloved in the head, I don't care what they say. The thing is, in the end of the day, that is what will make the difference between the survivors and the walking dead. At some point, 99% of survivors will have to pull the trigger on at least one person they knew well. For at least the first phase of the outbreak, you will be surrounded by loved ones, and some of them will die. Long story short... could you pull the trigger?
Off topic, I am curious how they got them in there... It would be hard to lead a group of zombies into a barn, and it would be hard to believe the same people who would keep them alive would lock them in a barn just after they were bitten... Anyhoo, I digress.
If you took Grease, Frankenstein, and a classic zombie movie and put them in a blender, you would pour out the web comicTeenage Love Zombies. Set in the 50s, this comic follows the infatuation between a greaser and a preppy girl just before the hit of the zombie apocalypse. It has been going on long enough to be able to get into the story, but it new enough to where you can get in toward the beginning. If you go to the archives, you can easily click through the entire story as it is written so far, and there will be new ones every Wednesday.
We just recieved a few of the pictures from the photographers from the Birmingham Zombie Prom and are looking forward to seeing the rest! Here is a preview of what is to come:
The first Run For Your Lives takes place today in Baltimore. Run For Your Lives is a 5K Obstacle course similar to the Warrior Dash, but with an added twist. All along the race course, zombies will be trying to eat you. Right now, there are 7 other races slated for next year, including Atlanta, Boston, Indianapolis, Austin, Seattle, and LA. Tickets run from $57-$87 depending on how early you sign up, so if you like running, and like zombies, this is the race for you.
We had an amazing time at zombie prom! A ton more pictures are to follow from our offical event photographers, but here are a few we took that show how awesome it was. We had an incredible turn out, so we are already looking forward to what we are going to do next year!
Pictured below are the prom court, the king and queen, and a picture of one of the bands over the crowd. We know you are un-dying to see more...
According to MTV, AMC has released a new series of webisodes to accompany The Walking Dead today on their website. This story should tide you over until the second season premieres on Oct. 16 (the day after Zombie Prom!)
You can read the MTV article here, or go directly to the minisodes here.
Soooo, it is kinda tempting to keep this one to ourselves, because not that many people have commented on this, so our chances are good... but, what kind of people would we be? Click on the link, and you can win The Walking Dead Chronicles! All you have to do is answer the question, "What’s scarier zombies or vampires?"
If you are getting ready for Halloween or an upcoming zombie prom (ahem, Undying Love), you can get some good advice from Dance of the Dead. We first saw it at Sidewalk Film Festival, and it was a great time. Chiffon, corsages, and blood are a great combination!
