This is another comic we spotted at The Vintage Phoenix in Bloomington, actually, and purely by chance lying on their sort of last chance table. Needless to say, I had to snatch it up after noting that it features another story of The Littlest Zombie, whose unfortunately anti-social antics we last reviewed here. A Very [...]

While we were in Bloomington, Indiana for The Dark Carnival Film Festival, the art director and I stopped at landmark Bloomington comic book store The Vintage Phoenix for a bit of window shopping, as we usually do when we’re in the neighborhood. (It really is a fantastic old-school comic book store with an extensive indie [...]

Just wanted to put up a quick post to show that not all the Zombie-related merchandise out there has to be negative. Both of these items came to our attention via the good people at The Horror Society, btw. First is another entry in the sadly narrow crossover of Zombies and fashion: glow in the [...]

Another item from the Horror Society twitter-splosion is this piece about some World Cup related advertising run by Deoderant company Rexona (a subsidiary of Unilever, the brand is known here in the United States as Degree) The Horror Society summed it up this way: Here’s a fun little commercial that shows a growing mob of [...]

I got this one from our frequent correspondent Michelle Hartz a while ago and sort of got sidetracked commenting upon it in the post Dark Carnival coma thing. (I also have some more video I need to upload, oops) Basically what we have here is a graphic demonstrating the ignorance many people have about the [...]

I keep forgetting to mention this, but our ZRC wristbands are back in the store, and with a shiny new pricing scheme too! They’re virtually identical to the old model, only now they don’t have our organization written on the reverse side of the band; just good old ‘Zombie Strong’ in glow in the dark [...]

You know those charity car-washes that get held to raise money for worthy causes? Here’s one staffed by Zombies in Arizona: Metro Car Wash in Tucson, Ariz., celebrated the week leading up to Halloween by transforming its Speedway Car Wash facility into a Zombie Car Wash. The company turned its carwash tunnel into a haunted [...]

I’d heard of the new Call of Duty game dipping its toes into the sea of Anti-Zombie gaming of late, but this was a surprise to be sure: According to leaked videos posted online, the coming video game release “Call of Duty: Black Ops” features a sequence in which Richard Nixon teams up with John [...]

This story out of the UK, via the Daily Mail, is a bit mystifying: Students in fancy dress were turned away from a university bar by bouncers after being told their zombie make-up was racist. Members of the University of Sheffield Physics Society turned up with face paint on for the zombie-themed pub crawl. But [...]
