Rick is turning himself into a zombie. So far, more than 24 hours of tattoos – costing over £4,075 Canadian – have got him halfway there and made him a minor celebrity on the internet, where people can’t decide if he’s a body modification visionary or mentally ill sicko.

And he’s Canadian too. I love this country. Reminds me of a story of a man who came to a friend who was counseling him wondering why he couldn’t get a job. Was it his prison record? Maybe. Most likely it was the tattoo of the axe dripping blood prominently featured on his forehead.

“The Dead Will Walk In A Galaxy Far Far Away. When there’s no room on the deathstar, the dead will walk on Endor and eat some spicy ewoks, prefer Brains.” more @ /Film

I was very excited upon seeing this. My guess is that makes me one of the biggest nerds in the world.

Over at OMGHorror.com they’ve come up with a list that I like. Yes, a list of the 26 Best Zombies of All Time. Here’s a sample:

#26: The Resurrected Dr. Carl Hill
From: Re-Animator (Film)
Why He Rules: What is this undead John Kerry look-alike doing on our list of awesome zombies you ask? The answer is simple: even after his head was lopped off in the splatter classic Re-Animator, he still was able to make the most out of a butt-naked woman lying in front of him by mustering up the mojo to engage in one of the most infamously raunchy sex acts in movie history. How filthy is it? Well, I can’t even explain it in this feature without getting fired. Just go rent it, but make sure the kiddies aren’t around when you watch it.

Want more? Me too read the rest of the article. I very heartily agree with the number one choice…

Unsure if the above chart is accurate. It is amusing though.

 

Blatantly stolen from geekstir.*** who I’m sure stole it from somewhere else just without giving props to the author. Bad form. No link for you.

It’s true. Sometimes awful can be good. O.K. Maybe not good, but fun.

A few months ago my buddy Wes came over for a movie night and brought me a gem of a polished turd in the form of a DVD titled ‘Hard Rock Zombies‘.

This travesty was released in 1985 so one can pretty much guess (and correctly) that the hair, make-up and wardobe are going to be horrendous. The music, cinematography, writing, acting, direction and anything else isn’t much better.
The name ‘Hard Rock’ is rather misleading. This band’s music is as hard as Culture Club. Although the actors who play the band members do look like rejects from a Narcotics Anonymous meeting. That said they’re still quite pansy-fied. These are the type of guys my friends and I would have thumped outside the mall in 1985.

Here’s a clip you’ll never be able to extract from your brain:

That was gay and no I’m not a homophobe…

Other than the things mentioned above what are a few of the things that make this movie worth watching a worth avoiding all at the same time?

• Midgets. And yes, midget zombies. And, yes, midget nazi zombies.
• Hitler and the Californian Fourth Reich
• A nazi zombie eats himself.
• Zombies afraid of Elvis.

Sounds horrid right? Yep. But it’s a must see.

Here’s another clip:

Ooh! Aah! Fantastic.Check out a more complete review at badmovies.org.Thanks again Wes. You rock.

If you’re Canadian, have digital cable and a love of zombies be sure to check out the world premiere of Zombiemania on Space tonight at 9:00pm Eastern / 6:00pm Pacific. Zombiemania is an hour-long documentary by Halifax based Sorcery Films that looks at cinematic zombies and why some folks, like me and you, are fascinated with them. Zombie culture notables George A. Romero, director of Night of the Living Dead, Tom Savini, actor and special effects make-up master, Max Brooks, author of The Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z, as well as Wade Davis, the anthropologist, ethnobiologist and author of The Serpent and The Rainbow are just a few of those interviewed. As well as interviews we will see clips from the past 70 years of zombie movie history.

My PVR is set.

Weighing the evidence for and dating of Solanum virus outbreaks in early Egypt

Hierakonpolis is a site famous for its many “firsts,” so many, in fact, it is not easy to keep track of them all. So we are grateful(?) to Max Brooks for bringing to our attention that the site can also claim the title to the earliest recorded zombie attack in history. In his magisterial tome, The Zombie Survival Guide (2003), he informs us that in 1892, a British dig at Hierakonpolis unearthed a nondescript tomb containing a partially decomposed body, whose brain had been infected with the virus (Solanum) that turns people into zombies. In addition, thousands of scratch marks adorned every surface of the tomb, as if the corpse had tried to claw its way out! [Editor's note: click here for an interview with Max Brooks and a timeline of archaeologically documented zombie outbreaks.]

Proof that archaeologists can be zombie freaks too!

Here’s a cool pic form the site of the shovel technique for dispatching a zombie:

Cool!

Tired of having buddies that don’t eat brains? Yeah, I am too. It’s time to CHANGE that, and for around $20 for a whole horde of rotten-flesh terrors.

A horde of decaying zombies invaded San Francisco’s downtown Apple store on Friday evening, hunting for brains, terrifying the customers, and gnawing on iMacs.

I’ve placed some photos here. I’m pleased to report that the zombies ultimately decided human brains were tastier than plastic iMacs, although it wasn’t for lack of effort in trying to vary what must be a monotonous diet.
