Zombie Ketchup...

There's a new zombie game out called Zombie Shooter. How nice. I tried to play the trial version of it but couldn't get it to work on my prehistoric machine. Maybe you can...it's freakin' cheap at 10$ on Amazon. More about it here.







I was reluctant to post about the film, Fragment, because it seems a bit too supernatural for my tastes. It does however involve a few dead people coming back to life to wreck some havoc. Here's the synopsis: When LLOYD, a photographer slowly dying of a brain tumor, realises the growth killing him is breathing life into the recently dead, he uses his camera lens as the conduit to reanimation. After discovering a disturbing snuff film of a beautiful naked woman being tortured and murdered, he is compelled to bring her back to life. Enchanted by her grace and charm he resurrects her night after night and gradually falls in love. However, each night Lloyd also unwittingly resurrects her killer...and the trailer is here.

Oh the Japenese! Yoroi: Samurai Zombie looks pretty interesting. I have no synopsis for this film and I have no idea what they are saying in this trailer but I'll take a stab at a guess...A samurai returns from the grave to avenge his family. Heh, we'll see:

Seth Grahame-Smith's Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is now out. I proudly have a copy on the way as we speak. You can find an excerpt over at NPR and hear an interview with Seth as well. Very nice...









The most exciting news for me this week was that XXXombies, originally an Image Comics mini-series, has been turned into a screenplay and will be shopped around to be made into a film! If you haven't read this comic, I highly recommend it. If memory serves me well, the first issue came out at the end of 2007 and ended around April of 2008. You should still be able to find it at comic stores near you. I may be wrong but they may have already published it in trade paperback form as well. Anyway, the setting is late 70's L.A. at a porno shoot. These guys and gals are so busy doing drugs and doing the nasty that they don't realize a zombie outbreak has begun outside of the house they are in. Enter the mob and a badass trucker looking for revenge and you've got a hell of a good time!

A Cadaver Christmas looks to be like a good time. Here's the synopsis: Twas the night before Christmas...
And somewhere a janitor mops the halls of a university...
A drunk sits at a lonely bar while his faithful bartender serves him mug after mug of pity beer...
A police officer makes an arrest...
A student security guard sits diligently at her desk...
And a science professor conducts a dangerous experiment with unimaginable consequences.
United by terrifying and bizarre circumstances, the janitor, the drunk, the bartender, the cop, his perp, and the student security guard must fight to undo the professor's work. A dark force is at work in the cadaver lab this Christmas and this unconventional band of heroes are the only hope the world has against an army of living corpses that are quickly recruiting new members. The undead have been given the gift of life and it's up to the janitor to take it back. And the trailer:

The remake for George Romero's The Crazies now has a full synopsis. Here's what to expect:

In a terrifying tale of the "American Dream" gone wrong, four friends find themselves trapped in their hometown in The Crazies, a reinvention of the George Romero classic directed by Breck Eisner from a screenplay by Ray Wright (Pulse, Case 39) and Scott Kosar (The Amityville Horror, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre). David Dutton (Timothy Olyphant) is sheriff of Ogden Marsh, a picture-perfect American town with happy, law-abiding citizens. But one night, one of them comes to a school baseball game with a loaded shotgun, ready to kill. Another man burns down his house after locking his wife and young son in a closet inside. Something is infecting the citizens of Ogden Marsh...with insanity. The few still sane find themselves trapped: Sheriff Dutton; his pregnant wife, Judy (Radha Mitchell); Becca, an assistant at the medical center; and Russell, Dutton's deputy and right-hand man. Forced to band together, an ordinary night becomes a struggle for survival as they try to get out of town alive.

This flick, Bled White, looks like a pretty awesome take on the zombie apocalypse. The focus of the film is that the survivors need food to survive, yet, when they run out of food...what's the last resort? Cannablism!! Check out the trailor:

Yet another book I have on the way got some attention this week. That would be Kim Paffenroth's Dying to Live. You can watch him read an excerpt from the book here.

And since we're talking about authors...Joe McKinney, author of one of my favorite zombie books Dead City, recently sat down and talked to the folks over at FearZone. He has a new book out called Quarantined about a superflu that ravages San Antonio. He also drops an exciting bit of news about a sequel to Dead City he's working on!

Check out this awesome new trailer for Mutants!:

Holy crap this sounds like pure greatness: North of Paris. In order to avenge the murder of one of their own by a group of ruthless gangsters, four corrupt cops go on a rampage in a condemned building serving as the mobster’s hideout. Now trapped, the officers are about to be executed when the unimaginable occurs: hordes of bloodthirsty, cannibalistic creatures invade the building, savagely attacking everyone. Unexpected alliances are made when their lives are threatened by the unthinkable. What is this you ask? La Horde! There isn't an official trailer yet for this, however, you can watch a behind the scenes video right here:

And finally, this looks like some B-movie madness right here. The film is called 12/24, check it:
