Uggghh. This story makes me vaguely nauseous: Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman’s Skybound Entertainment imprint has joined forces with legendary make-up effects wizard Greg Nicotero (The Walking Dead, Grindhouse) to produce a line of products based on Kirkman’s long-running undead comic and other Skybound titles. … The first fruit of that collaboration is the Nicotero-designed, [...]

I have fond memories of my four years at Indiana University. Well, four years in school for me, then living on campus for a while with the art director, but you get the idea. Indiana University has a fairly prominent student paper, the Indiana Daily Student. As the title suggests, it is written and published [...]

I know that it’s one of the most popular shows on television but I really wish that the mainstream media could remember that popularity is based on *hate*. I mean, seriously. Just because it makes money that doesn’t make it right and it shouldn’t make it socially acceptable. TV Guide, for those of you who [...]

Seriously, I mean, ok, ‘The Mist’ was a bit underwhelming and ‘The Green Mile’ had Tom Hanks, who is kind of my nemesis, but I will always treasure Shawshank (who doesn’t?), so even knowing Frank Darabont was involved with ‘The Walking Dead’ hurt, it really did. Still, his continued involvement mystifies and offends me in [...]

It’s always sad to learn that an august body harbors hateful prejudice. It might be your local school board, unhappy about allowing a Zombie child to attend, or your local hospital, unwilling to treat the broken arm of a Zombie. Or it might be the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, which handed [...]

So there’s some more news about who’ve they’ve picked to help dramatize the Anti-Zombie prejudice and beam it into your living room, and what the second season would be about, by extension: It looks to be that Maggie Greene (Glenn’s future lover, at least in the comic) has been cast to be plays by Lauren [...]

It’s just deplorable how low some cities will sink to try and get a piece of the lucrative Anti-Zombie pie: Atlanta residents may have a reason to use the CDC’s Zombie Preparedness Kit as scores of zombies descended on the Cumberland area today. The zombies were part of the 160-person film crew that was filming [...]

It was only a matter of time, and the only real surprise for me was that the game in question is branded for the comic book and not the TV series; although perhaps the plan is to issue two versions and rake in even more dough. At this price point that could get lucrative fast: [...]

Some fascinating details on the ‘Walking Dead’ DVD box set now available, which the ZRC will be buying as soon as I can arrange a suitable container to prevent the concentrated evil from these monstrous DVDs from seeping into our living environment. Maybe a fire safe that’s been consecrated? How did they bind Samael in [...]

This short article from the Press Association outlines how a person can be disturbed for all the wrong reasons by Anti-Zombie media: Andrew Lincoln says fighting zombies on The Walking Dead meant he had quite a few disturbing days on set. “Pretty much every day I was shocked and surprised,” the actor admitted in Beverly [...]
