380 - Zombie

1. Zombie Movies
Zombies have become pretty popular in Hollywood in the last few years. Here's a rundown of some of the higher profile upcoming zombie movies. These are all mostly major studio releases, but for the independent film maker, it seems that the zombie film is a no-lose proposition. You'll almost definitely be able to sell your movie as a direct to DVD title, and zombie fans will watch pretty much anything, so it doesn't matter it your movie sucks.

2. Vegetarian Zombies
This is really kind of stupid. I'm not totally sure how a "pun" is defined, but I think this is pretty close, and I'm sure that puns aren't really funny. Still, I did chuckle a little bit under my breath.

3. An Everlasting Covenant
I guess this could be construed as sac religious. Or it might be a critique of organized Christianity. Or it might be a satire of a classic work of art. Or the guy might have jut thought it was a funny idea.

4. Heat Signature.
This video is kind of creepy, but you can tell it isn't real because everyone knows that zombies do not register as warm bodies on infrared cameras.

5. Army-men of the Dead
These might seem kind of cool, but I have to state clearly that I think $15.00 plus shipping is way too expensive for some stupid glow-in-the-dark zombie toys.

338 - Zombie

Zombie Land

1. Zombie Land
In attempt to appeal to audiences ranging from zombie fans, to skateboarders, to little kids, to metal heads, Urban Squall has produced an online video game which doesn't really appeal to anyone.

Hell's Ground

2. Hell's Ground
"An ultra-gory horror yarn of zombies, teens and burqa-wearing, flail-wielding backwoods psychopaths. Burqas?" That's right. It's Pakistan's first horror film.

Zombies on a Plane

3. Zombies on a Plane
And then there's this upcoming movie, Flight of the Living Dead, which combines aspects of Dawn of the Dead and Snakes on a Plane. I actually think it looks pretty good. Don't confuse it with Scott Ewen's comic book of the same name.

Canadians

4. Canadians
But the upcoming zombie movie which has the best chance of making it to your local cineplex is Fido, a comedic social satire wrapped in the trappings of a horror movie.

Endless Zombie Rampage

5. Endless Zombie Rampage
In contrast to Zombie Land, the creators of this game are trying to appeal to only one audience; people who like to shoot things and look at lots of pixelated blood spurts.

315 - Zombie Tuesday

Babylon Fields

1. Babylon Fields
CBS has a zombie television series in the works. If this show makes it past the pilot stage and actually airs, this will be, to my knowledge, the only zombie based prime time show in the history of television. A guy that lives down the street from a graveyard got some photos during the pilot shoot.

Zombie Escape Plan

2. Zombie Escape Plan
"You definitely don't want to get caught without a plan when the zombies come! Where will you hide? What can you do to protect yourself? How can you kill them?"

The Last Stand

3. The Last Stand
Despite all the gunfire and zombie carnage, I found playing this game to be oddly relaxing. In fact, I think I fell asleep once or twice.

Curmudgeon

4. Curmudgeon
George Romero hates modern Hollywood, computer generated graphics and those damn kids with their video games.

Danger! 50,000 Zombies!

5. Danger! 50,000 Zombies!
A pre-Shawn of the Dead zombie special from Nick Frost and Simon Pegg. And I still haven't had a chance to see Hot Fuzz. What's up with the limited theatrical release?
