Brains. BRAINS!

I would totally love to be walking down the street in the big city and come across this horrific, brain-munching nightmare. Oh yeah! Brains!

Pinning Practice

ARCHAEOLOGISTS in Bulgaria unearthed two skeletons from the Middle Ages pierced through the chest with iron rods to keep them from turning into vampires, the head of the history museum said today.

According to pagan beliefs, people who were considered bad during their lifetimes might turn into vampires after death unless stabbed in the chest with an iron or wooden rod before being buried.

"These two skeletons stabbed with rods illustrate a practice which was common in some Bulgarian villages up until the first decade of the 20th century," national history museum chief Bozhidar Dimitrov said after the recent find in the Black Sea town of Sozopol.

People believed the rod also would pin the dead into their graves to prevent them from leaving at midnight and terrorizing the living, the historian explained.

Dead Dispatch

If you're anything like me, you geeked out over the 'Dispatches from the Set' that AMC featured on their site for THE WALKING DEAD last season. Well, they're at it again - and chatting it up with series creator Frank Darabont! Here's a little bit of what the man had to say about Season 2:

"We're fleshing out the story in so many different directions. Once you're into this with real actors playing these characters, the dynamics develop over time from episode to episode. There's so much rich story and character to plunder. I don't know if we're giving anything away, but... something as simple in the comic books winds up being sort of a fantastic complication on screen. In the story we're telling, it's just not that simple as it was in the comic book because you have those opportunities to really spin the story out in many different layers. So, that kind of stuff is tremendously exciting to me"

Season 2 of THE WALKING DEAD is slated to come alive this Fall!

Daily Horrorscope

Today's main zombie struggle occurs early when the two biggest undead bodies - the Gemini hoard and the Jupiter mass - clash via an abrasive, 45-degree mind-link. Toss away know-it-all attitudes, pride and arrogance - they will get you killed when confronted with mindless ghouls. A healthy humility comes in quite handy right now if you want to stay alive. Some superlative vibes arrive on the scene when your guns form a deafening barrage of cover fire. Never let your guard down. Think fast. Stay alive.

Still Collapsing

Checked in with the Iowa-made zombie movie 'Collapse' to see how close this undead beast is to being finished. According to Jason Bolinger, the film's co-director, 'Collapse' has wrapped on principal photography, been edited, went through the color correction process, and is currently having a score written for it. No word yet on when a release date will be or if the film will be playing on any big screens (or in any festivals), although we have learned that 'Collapse' has attained foreign distribution through Fabrication Films and that they are working diligently on acquiring distribution stateside. As always, when we learn more about this ultra-cool zombie flick, you'll be the first to know. Until then, here's the plot for you in a nutshell:

The normal worries of a struggling small town farmer are blown away when the world is suddenly overrun by undead monsters. How can a good man protect and provide for his family in a hostile world without becoming a monster himself?

SMASH!

A little something I threw together last October for our zombie themed Halloween party. The whole thing was constructed mostly from garage sale purchases and cost less than five bucks to make - $1.25 for toy gun and frame which used to contain a butterfly and bug collection that reeked of mothballs, and $1.99 for a can of gray spray paint). I think it turned out pretty cool. It's one of the rare Halloween props that doesn't get stored away - I now have it hanging in my garage...just in case.
