Zombie Baseball Anyone?

Posted by mercutiom On June - 28 - 2010

While we don’t really recommend a baseball bat as a primary weapon for dealing with the undead, the thought of playing a little Zombie Brain Baseball does appeal to us.  This shirt, “Zombie MLB” is sadly no longer available from Tee Fury.  Sorry, but we just found out ourselves.

AMC Brings The Walking Dead To Life

Posted by mercutiom On June - 17 - 2010

As mentioned recently, AMC is bringing us a television version of the comic series “The Walking Dead.”  Yes, that’s right, the people who bring us “Mad Men” are diving into the undead and putting Robert Kirkman’s vision onto the small screen.

They’re only a few weeks into production so far, but the images we’re seeing look amazing already.  If you want to follow the updates, we’ll be discussing it here, and AMC has a blog of their own up and running.

Here’s a little more information from director and executive producer, Frank Darabont: Read the rest of this entry »

How To Walk Like A Zombie

Posted by mercutiom On June - 16 - 2010

By now you should be aware that the comic book (can we call it that?) series “The Walking Dead” is coming to AMC as a live action show.  We’ll be delving into this in the future and may even live blog the show as it airs on a regular basis, but for now we wanted to discuss some of the aspects of the show.

Now we’ve discussed the whole Fast Zombies versus Slow Zombies thing in the past, and we stand by our statements that Fast Zombies are a farce.  We’re happy to see the producers of the show have agreed with our opinion and are following suit with the proper shuffling zombie gait, going as far as to hold a “Zombie School” to teach actors how to Walk Like a Zombie.

Here’s the video:

Our Favorite Zombie Shirt

Zombies in the Food Chain

So we just found this great shirt over at Threadless and had to pass it along to all our readers.  ”The Food Chain” by Olly Moss is a great re-imagining of the food pyramid we all grew up with in elementary school.  We’re probably going to get one for everyone on the team here, and suggest you pick up your own.
