Rob Sacchetto-zombie thumb

Recently, I was lucky enough to get to kick it with Rob Sacchetto and talk about his chosen profession - he's an extraordinary artist who likes nothing better than to infect your likeness and transform you into one of the walking dead.

Rob: Well, I’ve always been an artist, ever since I was a young boy. I was always fascinated with dinosaurs and weird animals, and drew all sorts of prehistoric … [Read more...]

What if a "Head-shot" doesn't kill a Zombie? Terrifying thought, isn't it? What if everything you thought you knew about the undead... was wrong? Too many people continue to put off preparing for the Zombie Uprising with the sad notion that they will simply be able to wait until the last minute to swing by the local pawnshop or gun store, load up on ammo and guns and bunker down for the long haul. This is not only short sighted, but dangerous on many levels! First of all, one needs to take the physical aspects into account. If you have never held a gun … [Read more...]

Who doesn't love those old-school, late-night horror hosts? Sir Graves Ghastly, Svengoolie, Vampira…their passion for horror and willingness to bring it to the fans enriches us as well as the genre. Before home video/DVD's, the only way to experience horror from the 1950's, 60's, and 70's, was to wait for it to be shown by The Ghoul, Al "Grampa" Lewis, or Chilly Billy Cardille. Late-night horror hosts continue to run with the torch of low-budget horror, bringing it to new audiences, and reminding older audiences how awesome (or awful, depending) some of those … [Read more...]

Leonardo Da Vinci: painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, writer... zombologist and.... Zombie Slayer? Da Vinci is credited for his studies and advancements in the fields of art, technology and warfare and was unarguably the most influential person  in all of his fields. Though most know him for his artistic works, many don't realize that he was way ahead of his time in the field of warfare as well.
