My Zombie Valentine:12 Fan-Favorite ZILFs

ZVals Julie

Are we really saying ZILF now?  I keep hearing it, but it sounds a little crude to my oldster ears.  Still whether you call them Living Dead, Walkers, Infected, or just plain old Zombies, Rule 34 still applies.  Hey, I ain't judgin'.  If you don't think your friend-with benefits needs to be alive, that's none of my business.  As Warm Bodies is poised to do for Zombies what True Blood did for Maenads, and Valentine's Day approaches, it's time to look at all your favorite um…ZILFs. --Tammy: Fido.  Fido is one of the more original concept zombie movies in … [Read more...]

Picking Brains with Wednesday Lee Friday: Nat Robinson

NatRob FI

It's impossible to deny that zombies are here to stay.  They are deeply ingrained in our mainstream consciousness.  We watch them, read about them, listen to songs about them, critique, imitate, and even kill them in scores of video games.  It's getting damn difficult to come up with fresh and original zombie material.  Indeed, the concept of humans powerless against another force is just one of many manifestations of zombism.  In the hands of fiction writer Nat Robinson, this concept is explored with a fresh eye, a keen horror sensibility, and a whole lot of … [Read more...]

Wednesday Lee Friday Reviews: Music for the Zombie Apocalypse Pt 2

M4tZA2 Header

  …And in the end times, there will be strings.  Earlier this year, ZZN told you all about Collin J Rae, and his awesome compilation, Music for the Zombie Apocalypse.  Collin J Rae's interests are not limited to music or zombies.  He's also a respected photographer, tattoo enthusiast, an old-school horror fan, and a zombie purist.  When he sent me his new collection for review, I wasted no time giving it a listen.            I had my doubts about this collection going in.  The first volume of Music for the Zombie Apocalypse had so many … [Read more...]

Picking Brains with Wednesday Lee Friday: Brad Hodson

Hodson FI

Brad C. Hodson is best known as the head writer for the sketch comedy group: Happy Nowhere.  He's also written comedy for morning radio shows across the country.  His short fiction has attained a cult following and won numerous awards.  His first novel, Darling was recently completed, and is coming soon.  We are delighted that he was able to tell us about his new zombie movie, George's Intervention.  He is the writer and producer of this satirical homage to—among other things, the king of the living dead.  The cast includes Lynn Lowery and Peter Stickles, and … [Read more...]

Picking Brains with Wednesday Lee Friday: John McCuaig

MccFI

One of the coolest things about being an interviewer for ZZN is talking with all the amazing people that I wouldn't otherwise know about.  One such writer is Scotland-born John McCuaig.  Born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1968, McCuaig moved down to London, England at age twenty and has been there ever since. By day, he works in the railways as a Production Manager to a team of engineers who maintain and repair commuter trains. Lives with Pam, his partner of 24 years. They are due to be married next February, on the 25th anniversary of their first meeting.  McCuaig has … [Read more...]

Picking Brains with Wednesday Lee Friday: Brian & Dr Brain Rotz

Rotz FI

The split-personality is a delightful horror premise even if it has very little basis in real-life psychology. We're all intrigued by the idea of an alter-ego who can do things we'd LOVE to do but could never get away with. If there were no repercussions at all…who's to say we wouldn't rob a bank, knock on a door and run away, or even start our own series of macabre online vids. Dr Rotz Laboratory is good stuff. Happily for us, internet get-about Dr Rotz has agreed to answer some of our most pressing Q's. If you haven't seen Dr Rotz collection of awesomely … [Read more...]

Picking Brains with Wednesday Lee Friday: Judith O’Dea

Jodea FI

Fans of Zombie Zone News are probably aware of my deep affection for Night of the Living Dead. It's the cornerstone of all things cannibalistic zombie—and EVERY zombie fan is obligated to sit down and watch it in its entirety. For serious. Don't make me hunt you down. For your watching convenience, I've attached a link to the film that you may view legally (and repeatedly). Caution **this interview contains spoilers of Night of the Living Dead** I was over-the-moon happy that Judith O'Dea was kind enough to answer a few Q's for us. Ms. O'Dea portrays … [Read more...]

Picking Brains with Wednesday Lee Friday: Natalie Hernandez and Elvis Quintero

zh2 fi

Regular readers surely know by now that I dig Zombie Hunter. Nathan Greene is a cute-as-a-button redneck who also happens to be the finest zombie killer north (or south, for that matter) of the Mason-Dixon line. The new season just dropped, and it's everything fans want it to be: bloody, hilarious, and emphatically NSFW. Zombie Hunter Season Two—why wouldn't you subscribe? ZZN spoke with writer/director Jesse Dedman where he laid out his vision for the show. Today we pick the brains of lead actor Elvis Quintero, and new cast member Natalie Hernandez. … [Read more...]

Rick Grimes Stares Back at Fans…and no one else.

Grimes FI

**Contains Major Season Two Spoilers and a Minor Season Three Spoiler.** It's no secret that I have a few issues with The Walking Dead, all of which made themselves evident in season two. Fans in general were pretty divided about the whole thing. The long, boring search for Sophia. The far-too-early demise of a certain hat-enthusiast. Lori still being allowed to talk and drive and look after a child. Yeah, the second season had its irksome moments. But one thing you cannot say, is that lead character Rick Grimes does not have a piercing, haunting, eerie, and … [Read more...]

Picking Brains with Wednesday Lee Friday: What’s new with Stant Litore?

Stant2FI

ZZN had the great pleasure of talking to author Stant Litore when he first began self-publishing his series: The Zombie Bible. Things have really exploded for him, and he is now signed with 47North. On August 14, new editions of Death Has Come Up into Our Windows and What Our Eyes Have Witnessed (previously self-published) arrived from his new publisher, 47North. A third and never-before-seen novel, Strangers in the Land arrives October 16, 2012. Fans are stoked! Despite how busy he finds himself these days, Stant Litore was kind enough to answer a few of our … [Read more...]
