Night of the Living Dead.. If you're a fan of slow zombies, survivor infighting, adorably terrifying little girl zombies, redneck-based anti-ghoul defense, chicks inexplicably falling down during the chase, suddenly realizing you don't have the car keys, day for night photography, and the very idea of zombies who are also cannibals hungry for human flesh, you've got Night of the Living Dead to thank for it. The likes of George Romero, John Russo, Karl Hardman, Russ and Gary Streiner, Kyra Schon, and the rest of the cast and crew, have given us the zombies we know … [Read more...]

At Zombcon I observed a transformation of one incredible lady into an outstandingly horrendous Zombie. I sat down and discussed this with creature creator and makeup artist Damon Vanhee from Bandersnatch Studios, based in Seattle, WA. Daniel Potts/ZZN: Hey Damon, thanks for sitting down with me and talking about your excellent work. The zombie you created is really awesome. I remember you saying it took about 7 hours to apply the appliance to Jessica, but I also heard that you started the process about 4 to 6 months ago? Damon: To answer your questions, turning … [Read more...]

Max Brooks Lectures at ISU

Max Brooks has become the quintessential Zombie Survivalist. After literally writing the book on the Zombie Apocalypse and how to survive it along with a book about the Z war that is currently in production as a major motion picture! All of this being said, when Brooks came to Iowa to lecture at Iowa State University, you know we had to be there! The lecture was an on-point laugh-a-thon full of sarcastic wit, self deprecating humor and even a bit of heckler pwnage. To say it was an Epic evening of critical Zombie Survival tips would be an insult to Brooks' genius. … [Read more...]

Regular readers know that I get to interview all sorts of cool purveyors of undead culture—actors, novelists, musicians, directors, photographers, and so forth. This is the first time I've ever interviewed a chef, because let's face it, zombie food doesn't sound altogether palatable for the living. And yet…Zombie Burger and Drink Lab is set to open in Des Moines in just a few short days. A harbinger of undead things to come? Perhaps. An atmospheric space with a killer menu of horror and zombie-inspired faire? For sure. Tuesday, August 30th is opening … [Read more...]
