Ancient Anti-Zombie Persecution in Ireland? Tragic.

| October 9, 2011

This story is very sad, even if it happened a long time ago: Two early medieval skeletons were unearthed recently in Ireland with large stones wedged into their mouths — evidence, archaeologists say, that it was feared the individuals would rise from their graves like zombies. … “In this case, the stones in the mouth [...]

Fulci’s ‘Zombie’ Coming to Blu-Ray

| October 5, 2011

Well, I suppose this was inevitable: There’s just something sticky and icky about Lucio Fulci’s 1981 gorefest in Zombie, which is loosely a follow-up to the events in Dawn of the Dead. The gore is outrageous. The zombies are nasty decaying corpses. The women have nice boobs and big bushes, and of course: there’s a [...]

Don’t Use the Zed Word: ‘Zombie Drug’ Edition

| October 3, 2011

I want to put a word of caution here at the start, because there ARE supposedly such things as ‘Zombie drugs’, at least in some interpretations of the Haitian Voodoo Zombification process.

Details of Anti-Zombie LARPing in an Abandoned Mall (Of Living Supremacism)

| September 19, 2011

Out of all the things you will read on this blog about those who hold unfortunate Anti-Zombie prejudices.. is definitely the following. But at least it’s occasionally very funny, and even though the ‘Zombies’ are unfortunate stereotypes, they usually prevail over the treacherous and untrustworthy Survivors. Who are playing themselves, kind of. Which says a [...]

‘World War Z’ Gets Hungry (For Something Other than Prejudice)

| August 7, 2011

I am continually saddened by the level of community support for this awful project: Filming in Cornwall of Brad Pitt’s latest blockbuster was nearly brought to a halt for lack of sustenance – until a local delicacy saved the day. The 47-year-old Hollywood superstar is in Cornwall filming scenes for zombie action film World War [...]

Zombies Doing Good, Media Doing Bad, Dublin Edition

| July 28, 2011

Last Saturday it appears that a major Zombie Walk to benefit the RNLI (a lifeboat charity, believe it or not) and the Irish Cancer Society was held in Dublin, but unfortunately once again the biased media has to get their licks in even when Zombies are out there doing good: Gallery: Zombies attack buses in [...]
