Short film: Survive
Take Caity Lotz from Arrow and Harry Shum Jr from Glee and put them in a short zombie film together. Actually, the back story is even better than that as this John Chu project used Second Unit Directors who were stunt coordinators and the chance to write and direct a short film with action. The […]
Surprising? Roleplayers are more accepting of running zombies than non-gamers
If you are asked the question; “Should zombies run?” the correct response is something along the cards of; “No, zombies should stay fully dead, immobile and in their graves”. The question Geek Native asked in a competition to win a bundle of Dana Fredsti zombie books was slightly different. The question was whether it was […]

Zombies suck at climbing and tend to be slow. Ideally you’d want a fast place to live that was high up. Of course, your actual anti-zombie house would […]
Blood, death and sex: A review of Max Brooks’ Extinction Parade
Yes, but what happens next? This review of Extinction Parade is of the first graphic novel which collects the first five issues of Max Brooks’ (World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide) and Raulo Caceres’ (Crossed) series. Zombies are stupid. They’re slow. They can’t even see vampires. No wonder the lords of the night […]
Star Wars of the Dead
