Poise, beauty, and BRAAAAAIIIIINS - these girls had it all. Flashback Weekend’s annual Zombie Pinup Contest was a fun event that showed that beauty really is only skin deep (rotting, stinking skin that is). You can view our photos of the event here.
It was a parade of fear yesterday as Chicago horror legend Svengoolie hosted the Flashback Weekend Costume Contest. Our very own Jef Porkins did a stunning job with his own makeup but sadly it was a man in a monkey suit (Planet of the Apes, specifically) that won Best in Show. You check out all our pics from the contest here.
This month’s contest question was: What one item in your living room would you use to fend off a zombie attack? We had 22 responses and out of those, we liked Steve’s answer best! Steve wrote:
Not much in the living room so I would have to take off one of my socks and fill it with the bazillion TV remotes I have lying around. I would then swing this around and victoriously crush that Zombie’s skull!!
Congratulations Steve!
Deadline for entry is Wednesday, June 25th at Midnight (EST)!
CONGRATULATIONS!
Suzanne wins a ZRC T-shirt.
Here is her entry:
No question here; my collapsible gardening hoe! The business end has a sharp chopping edge on one side and three claws on the other, is made of a strong rust-resistant steel alloy (important in case I have to run before I can clean it fully), and collapses to half-size for easy carrying in those rare “safe” times. It also has a nice long reach so I don’t have to get too close to the zeds to break through skulls. Any zombie comes at me while I’m in my garden is going to REGRET IT!

This month’s contest is a variation of the old desert island question:
What one weapon would you bring to the zombie apocalypse?
I’d bring my one-handed sledge. While not as conventionally versatile as Jef’s Fubar, my sledge would take care of me best, from what I have readily available if something happened today. I could use it to gain access to properties, aid in construction or demolition, or just simply crush a zombie’s skull with it. And just to make the apocalypse a little more fun, I’d make everybody refer to it as Mjolnir…
What would you bring to the apocalypse? We’re making it interesting and saying NO GUNS. No one wants to hear someone go on and on about the specs of their Glock 9mm with a laser scope or their AK-47 with the carbon fiber stock. We’re taking it one step further and requiring that you send us a photo of yourself with your weapon to ensure that you actually have it. So, don’t write about your 12 foot spear or prosthetic arm with the interchangeable chainsaw, mace and flamethrower attachments unless you actually have one. Besides why would you want to take a fantasy up against zombies?
We’re looking forward to your submissions!
This month’s contest is a variation of the old desert island question:
What one weapon would you bring to the zombie apocalypse?
I’d bring my trusty machete. The machete has been around nearly 300 years and is a strong and durable tool that can be used to cut, dig, scrape, hammer and smash just about anything. Although it’s medieval in appearance, the machete is still in widespread use throughout South America and Africa. When civilization comes to an end, I can’t think of a better, more versatile tool.

This month’s contest is a variation of the old desert island question:
What one weapon would you bring to the zombie apocalypse?
I’d bring my Stanley Fubar. I could bash a zombie’s skull, pry open doors, board up windows or walkways and even open canned goods (not the easiest task, but do-able). With it’s pry-bar end, hammer side and gripper/ripper side, my Fubar would be a versatile and useful tool in any apocalyptic scenario. I could construct, destruct, kill and live with my Fubar.
