There is one thing that’s always bugged me about the undead. No, not the smell and general lack of hygiene. It’s the continual need to eat despite the absence of working intestinal organs.

Full Story »It Came from Late Night Cable: Cemetery Man
By Lisa Fary – I love late night cable and On Demand. The best stuff shows up there. Not “best” like Academy Award Winners; “best” like bizarre, bad, and often poorly acted. The stuff that never quite made cult status, but is campy as hell. (See: Mindwarp, Zombie Lake, Swamp Thing). There are also some diamonds out there, too; movies I’d never seen or heard of, but are amazing. (See: Videodrome, Near Dark, Night Breed).

Full Story »Ask an Amateur Scientist: The Zombie Cabbie
By Brian Thompson – I. The Setup: What defines a zombie?

Okay, not really, but this was too funny/cool to not post. And misdemeanor crime or not, kudos to the geeks for getting the warning about zombies out. Geeks save lives.

Why write something new when you can just add werewolves to Much Ado About Nothing or vampires to The Great Gatsby?
Full Story »Prom + Zombies = Prombies!
Zombie Prom was my chance to rectify my prom dress history and finally get that Gunne Sax or Jessica McClintock dress I always wanted: poofy, floor length, hot pink, maybe with sequins or beads. Or maybe iridescent taffeta! The kind of tacky thing that, at age twelve, I imagined myself wearing at my own prom, only to be thwarted by fashion trends of the 1990s.

By Rhea Dee
My palms were sweaty. Not promising. I looked over at my friend, Hillary. There was no trace of apprehension on her face. Not surprising, really, considering this was year two for her.
