We are really looking forward to George A. Romero's
Survival of the Dead! It will release on DVD in the United States on May 28, 2010. It played in film festivals in late 2009, and now we can all see it!
With a name like George A. Romero, it has to be good!
For the truly prepared who can't always carry around a machete, here are some mini-survival guides to help you get by:
Who knew that zombies could keep you from stumbling around in the dark...
Tracy City, Tennessee has a zombie for a mayor! The challenger to the office was Carl Robin Geary, Sr, who died weeks before the election, won in a landslide.
Apparently, they like the idea of having a zombie for a president, as local resident Chris Rogers told the Chattanooga Times, "If he were to run again next week I'd vote for him again."

Bubbles, check. Music, check. Zombie duckie, double check.
Want to be part in a world record to do with zombies? Seattle held the world record for most zombies gathered until last year, when the record was broken in England.
On July 3rd, 2010, Seattle is going to try to take it back with the
Red, White, and Dead festival including a zombie fashion show, musical performances, special guests, a screening of the zombie classic "Dawn of the Dead" and a zombie "Thriller Dance."

This looks a little wrong, but still entertaining for your next zombie party!
So, if having an I-Phone wasn't fun enough before, here comes the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Game. It isn't out yet, but very very soon!
We recently received a note from Paul A. Freeman in reply to a story we wrote about
all the new zombie books coming out. Here it is reposted:
I.m the author of .Robin Hood and Friar Tuck: Zombie Killers . A Canterbury Tale by Paul A. Freeman., and I would like this opportunity, if I may, to put my book into context.
Although my novella includes zombies, it.s not actually part of the .monster mash. movement of rewiting classic books. The Robin Hood legends we all know and love are actually composed of myth fragments from a number of sources. Although I allude to one or two of these fragments in my book, my novella is in effect an original tale. In fact, the first half takes place not in Sherwood Forest but in the Holy Land during the ill-fated First Crusade.
.Robin Hood and Friar Tuck: Zombie Killers. is alternatively titled .The Monk.s Second Tale., and is the longest of a series of eight .new. Canterbury Tales that I.ve so far written.
There are no more zombie Canterbury Tales in the offing, however you may be glad to know that the next three I'm about to start work on include a magical tapestry that gives the weaver three ambiguous wishes, an enchantrees / witch whose dungeon is full of knights tricked by her beauty, and a trip with Death through the period of the Black Death
Thank you for giving me this chance at explaining what on the face of things is a sensationally titled, band-wagon book (pimped in the link below), but is in reality meant to be anything but.

Yes, it is a little late, but we ran across this calendar, and it is an awesome idea. Essentially it is a 12 month calendar with 12 corresponding classic monster movies. It contains some of my personal favorites, such as
The Brain that Wouldn't Die and
White Zombie. What a clever way to have a movie of the month club with your friends!
You have to admit, if you put this by the door and used it as a key holder to where you would have to snatch your keys from these dead fingers every morning on the way to work... it might brighten your day.
We have been seeing the commercials, and admittedly, are looking forward to checking it out. It is essentially what would happen if zombies, demons, wolfmen, and all types of monsters moved to live in our world. We will see on Wednesday nights on Comedy Central.
