I was looking at the cover art for the movie The Veil, seen below.

The zombie closest to the gas mask seemed familiar to me. I thought I had seen it somewhere before, but thought that I was most likely mistaken. So I searched “halloween zombie costume”, just to prove myself wrong and found this pic:

Which I recognized from seeing it in Halloween stores in October from this packaging:

How fuckin’ goofy is it to be getting your clip art from crappy Halloween USA packaging for your sweet zombie movie cover art? That’s gotta be embarrassing!

ZRC reported last month on the release of The Veil on DVD on January 8th. YouTube has a trailer for the DVD that looks pretty sweet, despite this packaging snafu. I know I’m looking forward to checking it out.

Not if you don’t have pantry full of these puppies! That’s right, they’ve finally done it! A German company called Trekking Mahlzeiten has found a way to preserve the American way even through the zombie apocalypse by creating the cheeseburger in a can! To prepare, just boil the can in some water, pull it out, pull up on the easy pop-top lid ring and chow down, wide load! Because you know when the world goes to shit, you’re going to want a cheeseburger like a zombie wants brains. Now you CAN has cheezburger!

Larry Green

FRANKLIN COUNTY, N.C. — The parents of a Franklin County man who was falsely declared dead and zipped in a body bag are suing former and current county medical officials.

Larry Green says medical officials inadequately checked his vitals after a car hit him in 2005.

Green was walking on Highway 401 near Louisburg the night he was hit.

Emergency Medical Technicians declared him dead at the scene, but after Green was taken to the morgue in a body bag and several hours passed, the county medical examiner found that he was still alive.

Yeah, this is just an excuse to use this cool picture, cuz this post has nothing to do with Christmas, unless you make the far away connection that Jesus was the first reported zombie in history and it’s his birthday. Anyway, check out this video on YouTube called Real Zombies! If you ever enjoyed shows like “Candid Camera” or “Punk’d”, you’ll get a kick out of it. I’d have embedded it right to this page, but hey, I’m the new guy, cut me some slack.

This sounds like something out of a science fiction novel but scientists recently discovered a species of wasp that zombifies cockroaches. Once stung, the cockroach looses it’s free will and the wasp will actually lead the slaved cockroach to its nest were it will be eaten by larvae. Gross stuff but fascinating at the same time. The wasp uses a chemical that blocks certain chemical receptors in the brain. If this is possible in insects, could human zombies be far behind?

Last week Lansing, Michigan police made headlines when newspapers around the world claimed those crazy American police were “stockpiling chainsaws” for a possible zombie attack. Fortunately, the Lansing State Journal sets the record straight:

The source of the news item was a tongue-in-cheek article that ran in NOISE the week before Halloween called “When zombies attack.”

Or, rather, it was a significant – one might even say intentional – misreading of that article, coupled with the unparalleled power of the Internet to turn entertaining rumors into something like facts.

San Diego’s first ever Zombie Walk has seemed to stir up some local heat for them, being accused of interrupting some weddings, also happening in the park they marched through. Angry letters to the local paper seemed to only make it worse for them. Walk organizer Jennifer Griffith defends herself and the zombie walk on her blog. Here’s a snippet:

 There was police presence at that walk and they were stationed very near the wedding reception in question. We passed by the reception: ONCE on the absolute opposite side of El Prado (on our way to the west end) and ONCE on our way back to the east end. I PERSONALLY directed zombies AWAY from the reception; towards the center and opposite side of El Prado… I can guarantee that the official walk NEVER passed through the wedding reception. If a few wayward zombies passed through on the way back to their vehicles, then I personally apologize for their actions, but do not slander our entire group for a few potential bad apples (though I REALLY doubt even that happened).

Zombies at a wedding…personally, I think that would rule.

I really have nothing to add to this. It’s just so far out there…
