Protecting Your Infant “Cargo”

CargoThumb

The Zombie Apocalypse Means many things to many people. Preparing for it is another story. You may think you're ready, or may know you're not. Regardless, those who think about the Zombie Apocalypse often think about how they would protect the ones they love. What if the one you were trying to protect was too little to protect themselves in any way? What if you were their only protection in a Zombie Infested world? What if you... were bitten? What if the greatest threat to the one you cared most about, was you? A new indie-short called "Cargo" explores all … [Read more...]

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...]

George A. Romero Vs. Robert Kirkman: The Ultimate Zombie Authority

RomeroVsKrikmanThumb

George A. Romero has long been considered the Godfather of the modern Zombie, but what does this mean for new blood like Robert Kirkman? Any true Zombiphile will tell you that George A. Romero has always been admired as the one man responsible for bringing the modern Zombie to mainstream entertainment. Who wouldn't respect the guy who brought us "Night of the Living Dead" and "Dawn of the Dead" along with a huge resume of other "...of the Dead" titles? The man merged a social commantary about consumerism and our deepest fears of our loved ones returning from the … [Read more...]

Dead Before Dawn 3D: ZZN’s Daniel Potts Chats With Actress Ellen Dubin

Dead Before Dawn - Ellen Dubin - banner

(Written by Zombie Zone News reporter Daniel Potts) All right zombie fans, get ready for the North American release of a new zombie movie that shows a slightly lighter side of our beloved genre. Dead Before Dawn 3D is not your run-of-the-mill zombie flick - it's a mix of the supernatural, an 80’s teen movie and a new world Apocalypse. In Dead Before Dawn, Ellen Dubin - a strikingly leggy 5’10&1/2” native of Toronto - plays Beverly Galloway. Her character is the mother of Casper (Devon Bostick - Diary of a Wimpy Kid) and Christopher Lloyd, of Back to the … [Read more...]

New Years Resolution for 2013: Survive the Zombpocalypse!

zombie-apocalypse-title

Looks like 12-21-12 did NOT mark the start of the Zed Uprising... or did it? You've seen shows like "Doomsday Preppers" and read books like "The Zombie Autopsies" and even witnessed the sure sign of the end times: Not one but TWO crappy Resident Evil Games in a single year! All this and people still refuse to admit that the Zombie Apocalypse is still not coming?! We here at ZZN choose to take another approach, and it would seem that so do the respected people at The Discovery Channel! While others choose selfishly to swear off chocolate and in vain to shed … [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...]

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: 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...]
