Permuted Press and author Travis Adkins are celebrating Halloween by giving away the novel Twilight of the Dead for free! The book will be serialized with new chapters released each week on their blog. They even make it easy for you with an mailing list where you can sign up to be reminded when the new chapters are posted. Go check it out - it’s good reading material!
It hasn’t even been released yet, but Diary of the Dead has already gotten the green light for a sequel! The sequel, which won’t begin shooting until next year, will follow the survivors of the first film as they escape to an island. Let’s hope that the survivors on this island spend their time hunting zombies instead of completing challenges and voting people off 
Happy Halloween from the ZRC!
What are your plans for tonight? Partying it up? Passing out candy? Let us know in the comments! I’m especially looking forward to the Ghost Hunters Live marathon on the SciFi channel…
Today only, as a special treat for Halloween, Halo 3 players on XBox Live will be able to play a special version of the game that simulates a zombie attack. Players start the game as either humans or zombies, and as the humans are killed they become members of the zombie team. Sounds like fun if you’re stuck at home passing out candy.
As a kid I always remembered Cracked Magazine being a poor-man’s Mad. As such, I was somewhat surprised to find out that Cracked not only still existed but also has a website. This week they posted a list of 5 Scientific Reasons a Zombie Apocalypse Could Actually Happen. The science is pretty weak, but it’s a fun read for Halloween.
MTV News asked several famous horror movie directors and actors what they would do in a zombie attack and what they have learned from zombie movies. Responses are surprisingly varied, and it’s clear that Quentin Tarantino likes his zombies the old-school way.
Worth1000 currently has a photoshop contest running with the theme of “If the Dead Ruled”. There are some pretty funny pictures in there - I especially enjoyed the brain Big Mac!
Capcom sent out a press release late yesterday announcing a new joint project with Sony Pictures Entertainment to produce an entirely computer-animated Resident Evil movie. No real details were given, other than that it would be a 2008 release. As usual, the ZRC will keep an eye on this and let you know about any breaking news!

Go check out this article, complete with photos and video, from the first ever zombie walk in Billings, Montana. Best quote from article:
Josi Cain, who will turn 21 in a few weeks, came as a corporate zombie, complete with a pencil sticking out of her jugular vein. “I’m too old to trick-or-treat and too young to go to the bars,” Cain said. “So it’s a good reason to dress up.”
We here at the ZRC love the concept of the zombie walk and think it’s great that they are happening everywhere.
ZRC reader Lynzie sent us this link to some great photos of the NYC Zombie Walk. Thanks Lynzie! As always, send all zombie walk photos and links to submissions@zombiereportingcenter.com
