For those of you making the tough decision of where to attend college, the University of Baltimore is the place to be. Arnold Blumberg, author of Zombiemania, is teaching a English 333, or as the students are calling it "Zombie 101". The class consists of watching zombie movies and reading zombie comics. Why wasn't college like this when I went?
So, now there's a whole new reason to be scared of Trekkies. The LA Times has an article about Night of the Living Trekkies by authors Kevin David Anderson and Sam Stall. Anyone know the Klingon word for brains?
According to Slashfilm, Director Barry Levinson (Good Morning Vietnam, Rain Man) is currently working on a zombie movie called The Bay.
It appears that they're taking the approach of using "found footage", video from cell phone cameras, 911 tapes, etc. While I personally don't have a problem with this style of movie, I don't know how well camera phones and 911 tapes are going to translate to horror film.
For those of you who haven't seen the trailer yet, AMC has released a trailer for the upcoming The Walking Dead series to be released on Halloween.

For those of you Resident Evil fans, there are a couple new trailers over on IMDB. From what I've seen it promises to deliver the same action that has made the series so popular, and on top of that, Afterlife is going to follow the current trend of putting everything in 3-D. We can only hope that they make good use of 3-D, unlike some other movies that have come out recently that were definitely not worth the extra $5 for a pair of crappy glasses.
You can view the trailers here and here.
