While not exactly a zombie film, we thought you’d still like to know that The Crazies remake opens today! I’m a huge fan of the original 1973 George A. Romero film and I am heading out soon today to check out this new version. I was slightly surprised by the trailer for the remake by the simple fact that I after I watched it, I wanted to see it. Not normal for a remake theses days!
So according to USA Today, the iPhone app for Plants vs. Zombies seems to be doing well, selling over 300,00 in it’s first nine days, setting a new sales record for apps. Any of our readers get this for their iPhone/ iTouch? Let us know!
Game developer Epicenter has mixed together some of the best video game components of all time- rock music, zombies and…Neil Patrick Harris? Yes, all three comprise their upcoming game Rock of the Dead. Slay zombies while rocking out! Like Typing of the Dead, this game promises to give the player something a little different than just shooting zombies in the head. Read more about the game, see more screen shots and see a teaser trailer here at IGN.
Ha…not a great design, but funny none the less. Available for only $14.99 from Crazy Dog T-Shirts.
If you live in the New York City area, then you should go check out the screening of George A.

Here’s some great photos from the Oregon Commentator of a Valentine’s Day Zombie Walk somewhere in Oregon (the city wasn’t named). Click here to see more. Also, here’s the first comment from their post, in all of it’s hilarity:
Scott says:February 16, 2010 at 5:37 pmMan, fuck those Zombie assholes. I almost killed one with a car on Sunday night. Mostly because his dumbass decided to try and walk out in front of my car as a joke.
Do you know what’s not a joke? Your crushed legs when I run you over, you Zombie fuck.
I take Zombies seriously. It’s good thing I wasn’t really drunk else I might have forgotten and actually removed a head or two.
According to the Left 4 Dead blog, 28,981,249,043 zombies have been killed since the games release in November 2009. Here’s the breakdown from their post:
• The entire population of the planet has been zombified and killed 4.26 times.
• With the average height of a zombie being 6 feet, if you stacked them end to end they would circle the globe 1,322 times.
• If you placed 28,981,249,043 rulers end to end, they would reach 28,981,249,043 feet in the sky.
