If you live in the New York City area, then you should go check out the screening of George A. Romero’s Survival of the Dead, as part of the Film Society of Lincoln Center this Saturday, February 20th, at the Walter Reade Theater. Showing begins at 9:15pm and the Walter Reade Theater is located at 165 West 65th Street (upper level, between Broadway and Amsterdam Ave.). If any of our ZRC readers get to see this showing, please tell us your thoughts. The ZRC can not wait to see this film!

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:

Man, 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.

FEARnet celebrates George A. Romero’s 70th birthday this Thursday, February 4th, with an all day zombie party. Here’s what they have planned:

Tributes to Romero from such horror luminaries as Guillermo Del Toro, Mick Garris, and Max Brooks.

Video interviews with Romero and cast members of his Dead films.

Full-length, free streaming movies featuring the consequences of zombie-like outbreaks, including Mulberry Street, the aptly titled J-horror film Infection and David Cronenberg’s classic Shivers.

Zombie American, a short starring The Hangover’s Ed Helms.

A Jobs of the Damned video lesson from our old friend actor Doug Jones on how to move like a zombie.

A review of Kevin Hamedani’s post-9-11 political horror-comedy Zombies of Mass Destruction, part of this year’s After Dark Horrorfest.

Original zombie haikus penned by visitors to our site.

And since no birthday is complete without cake, FEARnet will serve up a gallery of the best zombie-themed birthday cakes from around the web. To top things off, we’ll “tweet like a zombie,” retweeting zombie-related comments from horror fans and notables all day long.

The intersection of fine art and zombie pop culture gets a little bit bigger thanks to an upcoming art show at the Nucleus Gallery in Alhambra, CA. The show will include paintings, sculpture, and even live performances in celebration of all things in love and zombie culture. Grand opening is February 6th, 2010 and will include a zombie walk!

Thanks to our good friend Grim Santo for the link!

You may have heard about the Best Buy in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, that’s planning a zombie infestation inside the store for the release of Resident Evil 5 on March 13. They’re going to fill the store with zombies, quarantining areas off and even featuring a haunted house. Hired actors will portray scientists and doctors, and some “big scare” will wrap the festivities up.

But they’ve decided to take it further, now enlisting the help of the U.S. Army and their M16′s. And reports have come in about real chainsaws and spraying blood.

Getting to this particular store would mean a 5- or 6-hour journey for me. But zombies, M16′s, chainsaws, and spraying blood . . . it may very well be worth it!

This Sunday the staff of the ZRC will be at Zombie Walk Detroit in support of World Zombie Day and several area food banks. We’ll be out filming the walk so make you stop by and say hi!

Zombies the world ’round will join forces and stagger through their local streets with one goal in mind: to fight world hunger!

Zombie Walk Detroit is hosting a walk in downtown Ferndale. It’s a food & fund drive to benefit Gleaners Food Bank and Ferndale’s own (3) food banks!

WHEN: Sunday, October 26th – Registration is at 3PM

Why register? EVERY zombie must sign in because this is going into the Guinness Book of World Records. Not our walk alone, but a total count of all zombies around the world who walk in solidarity on this day.
So whether there are 5 or 45 zombies in any given city- RISE and be counted!

WHERE: Meet at the parking lot just NORTH of 9 Mile (behind 9 mile businesses) just WEST of Woodward.

HOW: Whether you’re walking or not, please bring a few cans of food to the walk. More if you’re able! Spectators (at least the ones who know in advance) and photographers, you too, please! Food, funds, or both. Thanks!

WALKERS: Print out a PLEDGE SHEET by clicking here to open it as a PDF. Simply ask friends, family and co-workers to help feed hungry families in Michigan by sponsoring your walk. We’ve made it easy for you by including that info right on the pledge form. We’re good like that.

They can pledge a total of $5, $10… even $5,000. Whatever amount they’d like. Every penny goes to the food banks.

Cash is fine, but any checks should be made payable to Gleaners.
All monetary donations are tax deductible.

We very respectfully request that any zombies who do not succeed in bringing in pledges, donate food and/or funds themselves. Let’s make Gleaners proud!

We’ll also be at the Ann Arbor Zombie Walk, starting at 6PM. Here’s the info:

The Diag in Ann Arbor at 6pm.

S. University St. next to Cafe Royale.

Show up early for registration.

EVERY zombie must register for walk so entries can be submited to Guinness World Book of Records.

Donations can be given in non-perishable food or money. All checks are to be written out to Food Gatherer’s food bank.

Food Gatherer’s will be there for all donation pick-ups.
