While we we’re having a few domain issues, we posted a few things on our Facebook page, so here they are for your viewing pleasure:
Get your Zombie Survival Merit badge! 3″ in diameter and awesome!
Cool Zombie T-Shirt #32- The Living Dead Series! Available in S, M, L, XL, and 2X for $21 + shipping.
In the future, if there are any issues with the site, check our Facebook page for updates and info, so make sure you’ve “liked” us there.
Never let your zombie become lukewarm again with these Brain Freeze Ice Cube Molds! Only $8.99 from your friends at ThinkGeek.
The Zombie Reporting Center had some issues with our domain redirecting to a different site this weekend. We seem to be back up and working now, so back to zombies! Also, the cool zombie art is by our old friend monsterbymail.com!
Fright Rags is having a sale! You can get a Zombi 2 Eye Gouge t-shirt for only $10. The catch? It’s only available in 4X. If you don’t wear a 4X t-shirt, it’s still a great price to cut it out and sow it on the back of your hoodie or have a sweet butt-flap or just hang it on your wall!
Sure, Dead Heat is by no means a typical zombie film, but it is worth a view and a laugh. So come on, enjoy Joe Piscopo’s only role in a zombie film! September brings us a batch of new releases. Old and new, good and bad, Blu-Ray and DVD and full of gore and schlock! Check out these upcoming releases- out on September 20th is Dead Heat on Blu-Ray/DVD, the re-release of the much overlooked 1985 film The Stuff on DVD, and the only new film in the bunch, 2011′s Zombie Apocalypse: Redemption on DVD (Blu-Ray out October 18th). Also, out on September 27th is another great Blue Underground re-issue with Lucio Fulci’s The House by the Cemetary on Blu-Ray/DVD!
Thanks to our friends over at ThinkGeek, via their Facebook page, for the heads up on this image. Apparently these people are preparing for more than a simple storm…
THE GROUND BEYOND IS SOUR! Fright-Rags has resurrected this great t-shirt, from the film Pet Sematary. This t-shirt is part of their Dig Up a Design series and is only available for a limited time in sizes SM, L, Xl, 2X and 3X. These sizes are going quick! It’ll run you $19.95 and would be a shame to miss. And yes, I know that Pet Sematary was voted not a zombie movie during ZMON?, but this shirt is still fucking awesome!
Tallahasee.com’s Mark Hinson (who seems to have written a few zombie related articles!) shares with us his favorite zombie films in his new article Don’t eat your brains out: Watch 10 great zombie flicks. Hinson start’s his article by saying…
“One of my favorite movie-going experiences arrived at the dawn of the ’80s during a screening of Zombie, an Italian classic for connoisseurs of schlock-shock cinema.”
That gave me hope that he actually enjoys zombie films, unlike a lot of writers who just use zombie-centric fluff articles to attract readers, and while I disagree with him on a few things, he does seem to truly enjoy zombie films, covering films from across what has become a very genre within genre, well… genre. Sure, some people disagree that 28 Days Later is a zombie film, which it is and deserves to be included, and much more so than his inclusion of The Last Man on Earth, but I do have to disagree with Hinton with his inclusion of Shock Waves. Yes, it is a zombie film and while I do consider it to be a better film than fellow ZRC film reviewer Jef Porkins (read his review here), I would never list it in the top tens films, let alone the top 50 films of the zombie genre. Also, where is The Return of the Living Dead!?! All in all, it’s a nice, light read about something we all love…zombies!

Blue Underground, one of ZRC’s favorite purveyors of horror and underground films, is set to release Lucio Fulci’s epic 1979 zombie masterpiece, aptly titled Zombie (aka Zombi 2), as a 2-Disc Ultimate Edition Blu-Ray on October 25th.
