Zombie Food Pyramid
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.
Sometimes awful is good…
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:
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:
Zombiemania: Tonight on Space!
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.
Zombie Attack at Hierakonpolis
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!
Zombies Doing Yoga

I like turtles…
OK. This kid is messed up. Perhaps he’s really a zombie. He wasn’t really talking just repeating a random phrase from his life. My guess is that after the camera was off he ate the reporter who was laughing at him… I could be wrong. He might not have been a zombie at all. He might have been a retard. Odds are…
