You can head over to Telltale Games right now and get a free demo of the latest game episode of Sam & Max: Night of the Raving Dead, or buy it for $8.95. Here’s the description from their site:

Zombie attack! Droves of undead are converging in the streets. Now Sam & Max must confront their leader – a Eurotrash vampire with a style all his own. Are the Freelance Police cool enough to outsmart this emo before his flesh-eating army usurps the western world?

You can see more screen shots there, and watch a video about the game, all at Telltale’s sight. Also, you can read a review of the game at Words About Games and Anime.

I think so. Head over to The List Universe and you can read their list for the top 15 modern black and white films. Coming in at number 10 is Night of the Living Dead. Interesting idea for a “top” list.

The awesomely epic zombie comic The Walking Dead now has it’s own site! Read about it’s creators, look at all the covers while getting the original descriptions of that issue’s story, and read a great overview of the cast.

WARNING!!! If you are not currently up to date on the story (through issue #49)…there will be spoilers!!!

You can also read the first issue for FREE and get a wallpaper with the covers to the first fifty issues here. Great site dedicated to a great comic.

I came across this article on the Arkansas Democratic Gazette about the history of zombies, mainly in cinema. While this article is a very simplified history, and doesn’t give any new information that most readers of the ZRC wouldn’t already know, it does make an interesting comparison of zombies to the mummy. Mostly about how filmmakers learned how to make a slow, shambling monster to be scary:

 

The Mummy (1932 ) did the considerable trick of making people scared of something they could outrun. Mummies have been sneaking up on people ever since. Zombies learned from mummies. Producer Val Lewton’s shadowy I Walked With a Zombie (1943 ) put the audience in the zombie’s shoes.

It’s an interesting point on the idea of monsters who are traditionally slow and weak still having the ability to be horrifying and dangerous. Will this comparison come in handy this week with our ZMON? featuring The Mummy? We’ll see…

Also, check out this Arkansas Democratic Gazette article, with blurbs from George Romero, on zombies running and more.

I came across this video while looking for old trailers. Seems like this YouTube user is trying to put together a world-wide zombie movie using the site to collect ideas and videos to build a zombie movie around. We’ll keep an eye on this and see what happens.
