<strong>Zombie Hunter: Season Two</strong>.  The first-season adventures of a largely incompetent zombie hunter featured plenty of things I&#8217;d never seen before.  The music rocked hard.<br />
These guys crack me up.  Sure, they&#8217;re silly and low-budget.  They&#8217;re also hilarious, bloody, and well on their way to a second season.  That&#8217;s right, Jesse Dedman and Elvis Quintero lead their band of zombies into what promises to be another fun season.  <a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/archives/picking-brains-with-wednesday-lee-friday-jesse-dedman/" target="_blank">I had the pleasure of speaking with Jesse Dedman about the first season of <b>Zombie Hunter</b></a>.<br />
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/j94FiLt9OBc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
I was pretty stoked when this preview dropped earlier this week.  It&#8217;s still silly, still-low budget, and still totally infused with enthusiasm and a profound love of the genre.  Watch for it.</p>

<p><strong><em>A New Day</em> marks a new chapter of <em>The Walking Dead</em> in a beautiful way!</strong></p>
<p>The Walking Dead video game has been one of the most anticipated pieces of downloadable content games in recent memory and with good reason: The Walking Dead is amazing. It all started with a graphic novel turned AMC hit television show, and spawned a series of action figures by genius Todd McFarlane, a full novel and now finally fans can interact with the universe they have come to love with the game!</p>
<p>The game has been set to be released in a total of 5 &#8220;episodes&#8221; monthly with the first title, &#8220;A New Day&#8221; released late last month. A total of Five games for only $19.95 is a pretty sweet deal considering the replay value is higher than most full priced games out today. </p>
<p>The game follows Lee Everett, a convicted felon who escapes while in transport due to a car accident. His first run in with the undead happens as he has to fend off the very officer who was driving him. Before he can wrap his head around what is happening he finds himself in a fenced in back yard and soon meets the games second protagonist, an eight year old by the name of Clementine. Clementine is a sweet girl who has survived by holding up in a tree house. Her parents are long gone and presumed dead. </p>
<p>As the story unfolds, players meet familiar characters like Hershel Greene and good &#8216;ol boy Glenn, who have both been pivotal characters in the series and have been seen on the television show.</p>
<p>From a graphics standpoint, the game is amazing. Don&#8217;t expect photo realistic imagery, instead players are treated to graphic novel style art that draws players into the game as if they were turning the pages of Robert Kirkman&#8217;s brilliance. </p>
<p>Game play is nothing like most would expect. This is not a first person shooter or a run and hide strategy game. This is unique. Play is done with a cursor and, though you collect items, most only appear again when you need to use them so you don&#8217;t have to sift through a thousand items while a horde closes in. The action is intense as you often have to make split-second decisions that may affect the rest of the game and how it unfolds. Every choice you make, from the things you say to the people you save, will change the game, even if you say nothing at all. </p>
<p>The game is easy enough to control that even the most novice players will navigate with ease, while the in-depth story line and edge-of-your-seat-just-pissed-yourself action keeps even the most seasoned vets from leaving the game. You WILL play through in one sitting, so be ready to devote a few hours to a story that will stick with you and leave you wanting the next &#8220;Episode&#8221; in the same way the season finales make you wish you could go into a state of suspended animation until the next season starts!</p>
<blockquote><p>Meet the cast! From the Official Facebook Page, we give you the bios of the characters you will come to know and love, or in some cases hate!</p>
<p>LEE EVERETT-<br />
Born and raised in Macon, Georgia, Lee Everett is a man with regrets. A college professor whose life took a turn when he was convicted of killing a man who was sleeping with his wife, he claims self-defense; the state thought differently. He’s a strong, thoughtful man who can fight hard when pushed. </p>
<p>CLEMENTINE-<br />
Clementine is a quiet and imaginative girl with two attentive, loving parents. She’s incredibly resourceful, choosing to spend time building elaborate fantasies in her tree-house instead of watching cartoons or playing with dolls. She doesn’t get scared but will clam up if nervous. Reserved and shy, her actions speak louder than her words.</p>
<p>GLENN-<br />
Glenn is a likable and resourceful guy who is always willing to help. After failing to reconnect with his estranged family, Glenn is on the road back to Atlanta where he hopes to find his brother and where fate will lead him to meet up with a Kentucky Sherriff&#8217;s Deputy looking for his family. </p>
<p>HERSHEL GREENE-<br />
A farm owner, Hershel Greene is suspicious of outsiders and somewhat unwilling to believe the stories he hears coming from the city. Hershel is emotionally distant and a little old-school, but loves his family very much. His farm will bear witness to events that will affect the lives of many others.</p>
<p>SHAWN GREENE-<br />
Hershel Greene’s son, Shawn, is a kind, good-spirited kid who knows his dad loves him but often has to be convinced to do any work around the family farm.</p>
<p>LILLY-<br />
Stationed at Robins Air Force Base, Lilly is the daughter of an Army man. She is used to dealing with pushy military men and immediately takes charge in tough situations. While incredibly strong-willed, she will always submit to her dad (Larry), a grizzled old man with a history of heart problems. Fate will one day drive Lilly to have a huge impact on the life of Deputy Sherriff Rick Grimes.</p>
<p>CARLEY-<br />
A regional news reporter from Atlanta, Carley is a quick-thinker. She knows she’s attractive but she won’t take crap from anyone. Having spent time as a correspondent in various warzones, she feels that she can take care of herself and isn’t afraid to use firepower as a solution to the problems that face her.</p>
<p>KENNY-<br />
A likable, but nevertheless flawed man, Kenny is a fishing boat captain from Fort Lauderdale, FL. He is a sharp, hard-working guy who likes to take action and make things happen. Kenny’s family is his top priority.</p>
<p>&#8220;DUCK&#8221;-<br />
Duck is the 10 year old son of Kenny and Katjaa. What he lacks in smarts he makes up for with enthusiasm. Loud and boisterous, he is the opposite of the quiet and thoughtful Clementine.<br />
(Funny ZZN side note: Duck strangely resembles SID from Toy Story)</p>
<p>KATTJAA-<br />
Katjaa is Kenny’s wife and mother to Duck (Kenny Jr.). A veterinarian by trade, her family is from Belgium, moving with her to south Florida in her teens where she met Kenny. Katjaa is blunt and says what’s on her mind.</p>
<p>DOUG-<br />
Doug is a likable, unthreatening IT guy. He is incredibly resourceful and painfully logical, in a way that only IT guys can be. When he gets mad he is more likely to do something passive-aggressive than to get in anyone’s face.</p>
<p>LARRY-<br />
Larry is a retired Army commander and the father of Lilly. Generally quiet but often judgmental, Larry can quickly go from reserved to raging within seconds.
</p></blockquote>
<p>This game has another amazing feature. It actually <em>feels</em> like you&#8217;re in the middle of the Zombie Apocalypse. You will find yourself making choices you never thought you&#8217;d have to make with little or no time to consider your options, then be forced to deal with the consequences of your decisions.</p>
<p>Are you ready to SURVIVE THE WALKING DEAD?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/lifestraw-bottleBanner.jpg"><img src="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/lifestraw-bottleBanner.jpg" alt="" title="lifestraw-bottleBanner" width="590" height="250" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-22438" /></a></p>
<p><strong><em>When the Dead begin to walk the earth, you better be ready! You&#8217;ll need a hellova lot more than weapons to survive the Zombie Apocalypse! Survival starts with preparation now. If you haven&#8217;t created your bug-out-bag yet, no worries! ZZN has you covered with these Essentials to get you started! With our help, you can get all the items you need for a B.O.B. for less than $100.00 total!</strong></em></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>#1- WATER!<br />
</strong>Water is the most abundant liquid on the planet, right? True, but most of the water is undrinkable laying around. Most think that when the Zeds start to attack they&#8217;ll be able to fill some milk cartons and bottles and be good to go. Guess again. Unfortunately, the plastic in bottles can contaminate the water after extended periods of time, and if you are going to be mobile (which you&#8217;ll have to in order to survive) you really wont want all that water literally weighing you down. </p>
<p>The Solution?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/lifestraw-personal-water-filter.jpg"><img src="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/lifestraw-personal-water-filter-295x295.jpg" alt="" title="lifestraw-personal-water-filter" width="295" height="295" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-22439" /></a><a href="http://eartheasy.com/lifestraw?gclid=CKSwuvuVya8CFYXNKgodFma-Yg" target="_blank"> The LifeStraw Personal Water Filter!</a> Awarded Time Magazine&#8217;s 2005 invention of the year, the LifeStaw has the amazing ability to filter nearly any water source and make it safe to drink! In fact, if you wanted to carry the amount of filtered water that LifeStraw provides, you&#8217;d need to  be ready to carry literally 264 Gallons (1000 liters) of water with your party! The straw is small, light weight and easy to use. You simply pull off the cap on top and bottom, put one end in the water and suck on the other like any other straw. When you are done, you blow out the excess and re-cap it! Check out the video and see what we mean, this thing is #1 priority!</p>
<p><iframe width="590" height="330" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XckPmVmciAc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>So what makes this $20.00 straw so impressive aside from what you just saw? Lets look at it this way- if the Z-day bug is a parasite or bacteria that can survive in the water just waiting for you to take a drink, no worries- The LifeStraw filters out 99.99999% of waterborne bacteria and 99.9% of waterborne protozoan parasites!</p></blockquote>
<p>Water, Check!</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>#2- FIRE!</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/FlintandSteel.jpg"><img src="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/FlintandSteel.jpg" alt="" title="FlintandSteel" width="220" height="220" class="alignright size-full wp-image-22437" /></a> You know all those old movies where the protagonist rubs two sticks together and makes fire? We call BS. The most realistic rendition of how hard it is to make fire using sticks is best seen in &#8220;Castaway&#8221; with Tom Hanks going insane over sticks and dried grass. </p>
<p><iframe width="590" height="430" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/vP2P8mhif-g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>Need to stay warm? Want hot food? Need to boil water? You&#8217;re gonna need FIRE! The Solution? </p>
<p>Most survival experts (including this one) recommend you carry <a href="http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=Flint+and+Steel&#038;hl=en&#038;prmd=imvns&#038;psj=1&#038;bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.,cf.osb&#038;biw=1280&#038;bih=685&#038;um=1&#038;ie=UTF-8&#038;tbm=shop&#038;cid=11053956352536375599&#038;sa=X&#038;ei=TbmaT7D4Gcj3ggfVy9SLDw&#038;ved=0CHMQ8wIwAQ" target="_blank">Flint and Steel</a>. Very inexpensive, Flint and steel are two items you can strike together to easily make a spark big enough to ignite a fire!</p>
<p>A word of caution using fire- never start it <em><strong>IN</strong></em> your home or safe haven. Also, try to use fire during the <em><strong>day</strong></em>. The light from the fire may attract unwanted attention to your location that otherwise would have allowed you to stay hidden from <a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/archives/5-things-that-will-kill-you-before-zombies-do-in-the-apocalypse/" title="5 Things That Will Kill You BEFORE Zombies do in the Apocalypse" target="_blank">other survivors</a> and Zeds.</p></blockquote>
<p>FIRE? Check!</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>#3- SURVIVAL FIRST AID KIT</strong><br />
Now, we know what you&#8217;re thinking: &#8220;I get the antibiotics and gauze, but are a few band-aids really gonna save my life?&#8221;</p>
<p>No. Wrong kind of First Aid Kit. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/FirstAid.jpg"><img src="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/FirstAid.jpg" alt="" title="FirstAid" width="220" height="220" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-22442" /></a>You&#8217;ll need ALL of the essentials in one place!! Check this out: <a href="http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&#038;q=Emergency+Survival+First+Aid+kit&#038;psj=1&#038;bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.,cf.osb&#038;biw=1280&#038;bih=642&#038;um=1&#038;ie=UTF-8&#038;tbm=shop&#038;cid=11098971656962825531&#038;sa=X&#038;ei=osGaT9iBIIGngwfatLzuDg&#038;ved=0CJcBEPMCMAM" target="_blank">Lifeline First Aid kits</a> give you waterproof matches, an 18 x 12 in. piece of aluminum foil, an 80 x 50 in. emergency blanket, 50 ft. of fishing line, 4 fish hooks and 4 sinker weights. Also includes 8 ft. of snare wire, a surgical blade, 5 wound closure strips, 3 safety pins, a map compass, emergency whistle, 10 ft. of emergency cord and 36 in. of duct tape (because nothing says Zombie Survival like duct tape) all in a Ziploc waterproof bag, starting at just $9.00! The bag also comes with emergency medical first aid instructions to help with major issues. </p>
<p>Our friends at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Zombie-Go-Boom/217091111638816" target="_blank">Zombie Go Boom</a> recently did a video reviewing a similar First Aid Kit. Check out their take here:</p>
<p><iframe width="590" height="330" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PnN67pyI2RE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>General Survival First Aid Kit? Check!</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>#4- FOOD!</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/MREBeefStew.jpg"><img src="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/MREBeefStew-295x295.jpg" alt="" title="MREBeefStew" width="295" height="295" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-22441" /></a> So when it comes to a MRE (Meal Ready to Eat) kit, you actually have <a href="http://beprepared.com/category.asp?c=104&#038;sid=GOOGLE&#038;gclid=CP_O5Jiq1a8CFSQCQAodriKKfw" target="_blank">many more options that you&#8217;d think!</a> Check out this beef stew on the right. All the nutrients you could need in an easy to mix and make pack. </p>
<p>Most MREs are only a few bucks a piece and are cheaper if you buy them in bulk and that is exactly what we recommend you do.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t want to spend the money to buy a few? Chuck at <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ZombieGoBoomTV?ob=0&#038;feature=results_main" target="_blank">ZGB</a> had your back again with a 24 hour home made MRE!</p>
<p><iframe width="590" height="330" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/eBDbOS43Ezw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p></blockquote>
<p><strong>FOOD? Check!</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><strong>#5- MAPS!</strong></p>
<p>GPS may be around for a while after the Zeds rise so you may be able to use google maps for a bit, but don&#8217;t get too cozy.</p>
<p>The best map is the one in your mind. Go around your town at night with sunglasses on. Get familiar with land marks not based on light. The reason for this is that if and when the lights go out, you will be amazed how different the town you have lived in for years looks. Its much easier to get &#8220;lost in you own back yard&#8221; than you would think. Make mental notes of where things are and how to navigate your town on foot. Then draw out hand maps of your town&#8217;s landmarks. You can use street names if you must, but for the most part, try to avoid them as they may not be easily spotted. </p>
<p>The reason to do all this prep at night is because you already know your town pretty well by day.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/234707-dora-the-explorer-animal-adventures-windows-screenshot-and.jpg"><img src="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/234707-dora-the-explorer-animal-adventures-windows-screenshot-and-295x221.jpg" alt="" title="234707-dora-the-explorer-animal-adventures-windows-screenshot-and" width="295" height="221" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-22443" /></a></p>
<p>Once you have your town down, you&#8217;ll need other area maps. Purchase maps of your state and surrounding towns. These will be crucial in getting wherever you are going! </p></blockquote>
<p>So there you have it! Bug Out Bag started all for under a hundred bucks! What&#8217;s in YOUR B.O.B.? Tell us in comments below!</p>

<p><strong><em>Imagine what America would have been like if some of its greatest presidents had been Zombies! In Zombmerica humans would be harvested as a food source and used as labor slaves much like Zombies are used as labor slaves in Haiti today! </em></strong></p>
<p>Ever wonder what the these presidents would have looked like? Wonder no more my fine fellow fiends! Our friends over at <a href="http://www.neatoshop.com" target="_blank">neatoshop.com </a>can hook you up with quite the functional work of Zombie art with its Zombie Mount Rushmore!</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/0421121834a.jpg"><img src="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/0421121834a.jpg" alt="" title="0421121834a" width="554" height="468" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-22431" /></a></p>
<p>For only $29.95 you can own this insanely unique Key and Letter holder that is sure to be the talk of your office and force visitors to do a double-take every time! The <a href="http://www.neatoshop.com/product/Zombie-Mount-Rushmore-Letter-and-Key-Holder" target="_blank">website</a> listed these bullet point features:</p>
<p>-Wall mount letter and key holder<br />
-Zombified version of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln<br />
-Holds your mail and magazines<br />
-4 brass key hooks<br />
-Easily mount to walls with two finish nails (not included)<br />
-Fantastic details &#8211; handcrafted by local artisans<br />
-Material: tough urethane resin<br />
-<strong>Unique: no two are exactly alike &#8211; painted details may vary as these are hand painted</strong><br />
-Size: 12&#8243; x 6&#8243; x 2&#8243; (30 cm x 15 cm x 5 cm)
</p></blockquote>
<p>We really couldn&#8217;t agree more! The detail in this thing is sick and as you can see above, the &#8220;letter holder&#8221; portion actually fits one of your favorite <a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/archives/harvard-doc-dissects-the-undead/">Zombie Survival Essential books</a> easily and the hooks can be used to hold your safety glasses (to avoid contaminated blood splatter from Zombie slaying)! </p>
<p>Forget giving this thing as a gift, you need this for yourself. Be selfish. When the Zombie Apocalypse happens you won&#8217;t be worried about getting stuff for your friends so why not start looking out for #1 right now?!</p>
<p>Aw, who are we kidding these things are so cool, you might as well get one for you and one for a friend&#8230; unless you <em>really</em> like that person&#8230; then consider the ZOMBIE BOTTLE OPENER!</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/BottleOpener.jpg"><img src="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/BottleOpener.jpg" alt="" title="BottleOpener" width="171" height="423" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-22428" /></a> This wicked little guy is only <a href="http://www.neatoshop.com/product/Zombie-Bottle-Opener" target="_blank">$12.97</a> which is an insanely low price in this reviewer&#8217;s humble opinion. Made of the same urethane resin as Mt. Zombmore (as I&#8217;ve lovingly come to call it) and a steel opener, this functional little piece of fun looks like its been specifically designed to make your friends drool with envy at your next stop to the bar or party! He&#8217;s a sickly green color with an exposed brain and naked little butt. </p>
<p>No worries parents, the Zombie may be naked but he/she/it is <em>not 100% anatomically correct</em> so you can put off that odd conversation with Junior about how baby zombies are made (its through a bite or scratch if you are wondering, Junior) for another day.</p>
<p>Its a good thing these little guys are inexpensive because you&#8217;ll probably want to buy a few for when your jerk friends get their sticky little fingers on yours!</p></blockquote>
<p>As always, we will continue to strive to bring you the newest, coolest, and craziest Zombie stuff out there! Stay tuned to ZZN for more reviews, news and all things Zombie you can use!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/DiPrimio-Header.jpg"><img src="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/DiPrimio-Header.jpg" alt="" title="DiPrimio Header" width="590" height="250" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-22419" /></a></p>
<p><strong>For Love of Zombies</strong> is one of my favorite zombie fan films EVER.  It appeals to the zombie nerd in all of us.  It&#8217;s clever, hilarious, well-written, and unique.  I was stoked that screenwriter Ron DiPrimio was able to talk zombies, Romero, and Evans City Cemetery with us.</p>
<p><strong>WLF/ZZN:  Hey, thanks for taking the time to answer some of our questions.  Your new movie is titled <i>For Love of Zombies</i>.  I&#8217;m intrigued.  Tell us about it.</strong><br />
It&#8217;s the story of two zombie loving geeks who drag their less than enthusiastic girlfriends to the world famous Evans City Cemetery for a day of frolic and fun.  Only to find the undead are wating&#8230;and hungry.</p>
<p><strong>WLF/ZZN:  The trailer cracks me up.  Did Governor Schwartzenegger have a difficult time fitting this into his schedule.  (WLF note: It&#8217;s not actually him.  Republicans do not appreciate zombies.)</strong><br />
Luckily we got the governator to voice over our trailer right before his (most recent) scandal hit the news.  He actually was very easy to get, all he requested was his own personal maid for his hotel room which in hindsight now makes sense.  ☺<br />
<a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Diprimio1.jpg"><img src="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Diprimio1.jpg" alt="" title="Diprimio1" width="300" height="352" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-22422" /></a><br />
<strong>WLF/ZZN:  I understand that the main characters travel to <a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/archives/save-the-evans-city-cemetery-chapel/" target="_blank">Evans City Cemetery</a>, yet are surprised that there are zombies there.  How can this be?</strong><br />
Well, our two dimwitted protagonist&#8217;s firmly believe that Night of the Living Dead was only a movie and that there wasn&#8217;t any danger in visiting the cemetery where the opening scenes took place.  The soon realize that NOTLD wasn&#8217;t just a movie.</p>
<p><strong>WLF/ZZN:  It seems as if Pete Comma is gonna have a tough time of it in this film.  Would you agree that narcolepsy is one of the more unfortunately weaknesses to befall anyone trying to survive an infestation of the undead?</strong><br />
It certainly is.  However, narcolepsy could come in handy if one wanted to die in their sleep.  Especially during a zombie apocalypse.</p>
<p><strong>WLF/ZZN:  Valeria Nada reportedly says she&#8217;s &#8220;secretly loving Shaun of the Dead.&#8221;  Why would anyone keep that a secret?</strong><br />
She needs to keep up this front so that her girlfriends don&#8217;t ostracize her from their group.  Liking a movie like Shaun of the Dead could earn her scorn and ridicule from her highfalutin&#8217; friends.</p>
<p><strong>WLF/ZZN:  I have long asserted that the Light Saber (R with circle) is an excellent weapon for offensive and defensive zombie action.  How did Jake Burger get inside my mind and steal my idea?</strong><br />
Well one of Jake&#8217;s many gifts is the ability to mind meld with someone who is a zombie expert.  Luckily for him he found your website and realized your zombie prowess.</p>
<p><strong>WLF/ZZN:  Brianna Shortcake seems to have the most valuable strength: manipulating men.  Is she willing to teach others how to do this?</strong><br />
If Brianna is fortunate enough to survive the zombie apocalypse I am sure she would be more than willing to teach those not versed in this skill.</p>
<p><strong>WLF/ZZN:  One of the first images on the film&#8217;s site is that of a brain being devoured.  Are we to assume, then, that your approach here is more representative of Dan O&#8217;Bannon and the <i>BRAAAAAINNNNSS</i> theory of zombies?</strong><br />
Not at all.  My incredible web guy Tom Carty came up with that as cool way to keep one entertained while the web page loads.  I am more of a proponent of the Romero type zombie.</p>
<p><strong>WLF/ZZN:  Fast zombies, or slow?  Why?</strong><br />
I am a fan of both.  I feel that the movement of a zombie is dependent on its state of decay.  If a zombie is fresh the better it will move.  However as decomposition sets in the slower it will move.  The zombies in For Love of Zombies are of the slow moving variety because I find them to be more frightening.  Just the slow, unrelenting movement of the undead closing in gives one a claustrophobic sense of doom.<br />
<a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/diprimio2.jpg"><img src="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/diprimio2.jpg" alt="" title="floz_5x8_postcard_front" width="300" height="471" class="alignright size-full wp-image-22423" /></a><br />
<strong>WLF/ZZN:  Please tell us a bit about your introduction to zombies.</strong><br />
My introduction to zombies was when I snuck out of my room when I was seven years old to watch Night of the Living Dead after everyone else was in bed.  I figured, <i>it&#8217;s in black and white, how scary could it be?</i>  Well, needless to say it scared the Spiderman pajama bottoms off of me and I slept with a light on for weeks.</p>
<p><strong>WLF/ZZN:  Can you talk a bit about the difference in your view of zombies when you first encountered them, compared to your theories on the undead now?</strong><br />
I was always a huge fan of the Romero Zombies and felt that anything faster than a slow, plodding zombie was awful&#8230;then I saw 28 Days Later and the remake of Dawn of the Dead and realized that fast moving zombies could be a lot of fun as well.  I know, I know, they were infected in 28 Days Later not zombies but you get my point. (WLF note: <a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/archives/28-days-later-an-omelet-a-can-of-tango-and-a-side-order-of-rage/" target="_blank">Do NOT get me started on this topic!</a>)</p>
<p><strong>WLF/ZZN:  I see that you are an Award Winning Director.  Can you talk a bit about your past accolades?</strong><br />
Actually I am an award winning screenwriter.  A screenplay I wrote titled SCENT, has done extremely well in screenwriting competitions.</p>
<p><strong>WLF/ZZN:  You wrote, directed, and co-produced this film yourself.  Are you secretly a huge control freak?  Do you think you are at all resistive to the collaborative nature of film?</strong><br />
Doing most of the jobs is out of necessity and not based on some desire to control everything.  I firmly believe that film is collaborative effort and in productions since For Love of Zombies I have delegated some of the work load.</p>
<p><strong>WLF/ZZN:  When can eager consumers of the undead see <i>For Love of Zombies</i> near them?</strong><br />
The <a href="http://www.forloveofzombies.com/index2.html" target="_blank">DVD is now available</a> and it is loaded with a ton of extras.  Including three never before seen short films from Little Red Wagon Films.</p>
<p><strong>WLF/ZZN:  What&#8217;s next for Ron DiPrimio?</strong><br />
We begin filming our next horror short in May.  It is called The Neighbor and it stars horror icon Bill Oberst Jr.  You and your readers may recognize him from the viral sensation take this lollipop.  I am also working on a book trailer for <a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/archives/picking-brains-with-wednesday-lee-friday-jonathan-maberry/" target="_blank">Jonathan Maberry</a>&#8216;s next novel.</p>
<p><strong>WLF/ZZN:  Anything you&#8217;d like to say to your supporters out there?</strong><br />
I would like to thank everyone who has helped and supported me on my films.  I truly mean it, none of my films would have happened if it wasn&#8217;t for the effort and talents of my cast and crew.  I hope that your readers will take a chance and purchase the DVD.  I promise they will not be disappointed. (WLF note: I concur.  <a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/archives/for-the-love-of-zombies-wednesday-lee-friday-reviews/" target="_blank">It is seriously hilarious</a>.)</p>
<p><strong>WLF/ZZN:  Thanks so much, Ron!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/REORCReviewBanner.jpg"><img src="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/REORCReviewBanner.jpg" alt="" title="REORCReviewBanner" width="590" height="250" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-22407" /></a></p>
<p><strong><em>Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City- one of the <a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/archives/big-resident-evil-operation-raccoon-city-news/" title="Big Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City News!" target="_blank">most anticipated</a> FLOPS of the year.</em></strong></p>
<p>Sad but true fans- Resident Evil ORC had all the trappings of an epic adventure, the likes of which had never before been seen and may never be seen again. Take all the awesome stuff that is Resident Evil, shake things up with a new 3rd person squad based shooter twist and take it from the perspective of the bad guys! Throw in Nemesis, Tyrants, and G-Berkin for good measure and mix well! Sounds like the recipe for an amazing time right? What could go wrong, right?! </p>
<p>For starters, everything. The game was made by Slant 6 who were previously famous for S.O.C.O.M. games, thus the squad shooter style. The weak-ass story follows Umbrella&#8217;s Delta team, code named Wolf Pack, as they try to fumble their way through Raccoon city during the events or RE2 and 3  to clean up Umbrella&#8217;s mess by killing off civilians (which, although it is billed as a key mission point, players never actually do), collecting (insanely easy or insanely hard to find) Data, and killing off Spec Ops (the good) guys.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/ROCNemesis.jpg"><img src="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/ROCNemesis.jpg" alt="" title="ROCNemesis" width="588" height="336" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-22409" /></a></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get us wrong here, the concept is strong- its the delivery that is lacking. The missions are few and players move from one to another pretty smoothly (or at least more smoothly then the Left4Dead series) but with far too few decent cut scenes and even less explanation of how the characters got from one level to the next. What cut scenes there are do a good job of explaining the missions but show no details of getting from one point to another. </p>
<p>There are a few great sounds that remind you that this IS actually an RE title like when you pick up a green herb, and the smooth graphics are best used when in familiar levels like the RPD station and Umbrella&#8217;s underground facility, but there are not enough to tug at old school RE fan&#8217;s nostalgia strings long enough to satisfy them.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/ORCHeros.jpg"><img src="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/ORCHeros-590x321.jpg" alt="" title="ORCHeros" width="590" height="321" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-22406" /></a></p>
<p>Fan Favorite characters <em>are</em> back but only really in the multi-player versus modes. The campaign mode itself only boasts about four classic characters but does not follow their stories at all. This would be fine but I, for one, would have loved to see Wolf Pack follow and collect intel while spying on characters like Ada Wong or even Leon Kennedy himself. </p>
<p>Speaking of good &#8216;ol Leon, yeah, he&#8217;s in the game&#8230; for a level and a half. No, seriously. The game creators really loved pushing the idea that players would get to &#8220;Kill Leon&#8221; but only bring the guy in for a level and a half. </p>
<p>&#8220;But STZ, Please tell us the multi-player gives us some hope?!&#8221; </p>
<p>No. </p>
<p>Even if you are a Navy Seal in real life, your crew will find it hard to really get into and enjoy the online Versus. The game play modes are boring, the levels uninspired, and as for playing as the Heroes? Don&#8217;t get your hopes up. Yes, you will get to play as them, but die once and you automatically get stuck with one of a number of random characters you don&#8217;t care about. </p>
<p>As a hardcore gamer, I try not get my hopes up even when a game sounds as epic as RE:ORC could have been, but I have to admit- I did. I was let down.</p>
<p>We can only HOPE that RE6 will redeem the Resident Evil name.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Petersen_Eat-Slay-Lovebanner.jpg"><img src="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Petersen_Eat-Slay-Lovebanner.jpg" alt="" title="Petersen_Eat Slay Lovebanner" width="590" height="250" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-22401" /></a></p>
<p><strong><em>Everybody loves somebody some time! Every Zombie Eats somebody sometime! Everybody slays some Zombie sometime!</em></strong></p>
<p>In the third and final chapter in Jesse Petersen&#8217;s &#8216;Living With the Dead&#8217; series the adventures of Sarah and her husband Super-Zomb-David come to a thrilling conclusion. When the dead become Undead, we all will need someone we can rely on. Someone to say &#8220;hey, we&#8217;re gonna make it,&#8221; someone to throw ya some friggin&#8217; ammo when you&#8217;re almost out. For Sarah, that someone is her once-normal husband David.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Petersen_Eat-Slay-Love.jpg"><img src="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Petersen_Eat-Slay-Love-295x474.jpg" alt="" title="Petersen_Eat Slay Love" width="295" height="474" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-22403" /></a>The book takes off shortly after the events of <a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/archives/flip-this-zombie-making-it-work-in-the-zombpocalypse/" target="_blank">the last book</a>. Dave and Sarah have battled undead hordes, started a pretty successful Zombie Slaying business, killed off a mad scientist hell bent on creating a super zomb-army, and found a potential cure for the plague. Now they&#8217;re off to find a fabled &#8220;Wall&#8221; that is a safe-zone near Chicago, that may or may not exist.</p>
<p>Along their trek they encounter (what feels like) fewer zombies then the last two books, a reporter with an agenda of her own, and a burnt-out washed-up rock star with a heart of coke&#8230; er&#8230; Gold.</p>
<p>Petersen tackled this book with the same humor and conflict as she did the previous books with mixed results. The action feels a bit lacking and some scenes feel like filler, but overall the tension stays high and there are a few laugh-out-loud-in-public moments that make it worth the read. Though this book marks the end of Sarah and Davids adventures, the book is left with the feeling that the true adventure has just started and readers can only hope that Petersen brings the lovable characters back sometime in the future for another round.</p>
<p>Secondary characters stay alive longer in this book and take more of a role in Dave and Sarah&#8217;s survival which helps readers to identify with, and care for them. As always, Petersen does an epic job of painting a picture of living in an undead world and talks about aspects of the Zombie Apocalypse that the average person may not consider.</p>
<p>Overall its worth the read to get some closure on the adventure, but much like her other two books of the series leaves you wanting to know whats next with several unanswered questions. Fans of Zombies will wish there was more Zombie action but will love the additional &#8220;super powered&#8221; Dave aspects. </p>
<p>Since Eat Slay Love, Petersen has tackled other Zombie projects, but fans of this series will be left wishing they had more with the two characters they have grown to love.</p>
<p>Pick up your copy of Eat Slay Love on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&#038;field-keywords=Eat+Slay+Love" target="_blank">Amazon</a> but first, we highly recommend that you check out the first two books to get up to speed. Its not really required reading so much as it fills you in on a few of the nostalgic moments that Sarah has that those who have not read the books would be out of the loop on.</p>

<p>The Dead, a new Blue-Ray and DVD release from Anchor Bay Films, hit the shelves o across the country this week with a vengance!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/The-Dead-Blu-Ray.jpg"><img src="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/The-Dead-Blu-Ray.jpg" alt="" title="The Dead Blu-Ray" width="199" height="254" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-22389" /></a>It has been hailed as the greatest Zombie Film of the year. It goes where few (if any) Zombie movies have gone before: Africa.</p>
<p>The movie follows the story of an American mechanic who was part of an evacuation that went wrong, and an African military man who is simply trying to find his son. Like most Zombie flicks, the duo struggle to find survivors, food, water, and ammo. Unlike most Zombie flicks, almost all of the Zeds are black, and a huge portion of the movie takes place in broad day light&#8230; in Africa. </p>
<p>So what can you expect from the Zombies? Slow movers that get a real burst of speed when motivated and are not afraid to show their hunger. Their expressionless faces and soulless eyes make for a terrifying encounter. My only complaint? Though the prosthetics were great, there was very little blood on the actual Zombies unless they were eating someone. I get that the sun would dry most of wha would be on their faces, but since the majority of them were in white or tan clothes, I expected to see more gore there, not just shreded clothes. One of the only folleys in an otherwise great film. Way to drop the ball costume designer.</p>
<p>From a production stand point, the film is brilliant.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_22386" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 600px"><a href="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/thedeadcg.jpg"><img src="http://www.zombiezonenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/thedeadcg-590x272.jpg" alt="" title="thedeadcg" width="590" height="272" class="size-large wp-image-22386" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Ok, so there was SOME CG used but it was decent and usually hard to spot.</p></div>The special effects lean more on physical then CG and, as hardcore Zombiphiles will tell you, physical effects are a must. The make up is epic- from a really badass Zombie with a clearly shattered leg who walks unnaturally as it bends at the knee&#8230; BACKWARDS, to several headshots and perfect white eye Zombie contacts, the special effects crew nailed it. </p>
<p>What would a horror film be without a killer soundtrack? Not scary, for starters! The best part about the score of the film is its absence. The Ford Brothers (Directors of the film) opted to take a less is more approach and have several scenes with no music at all, where others may have had an ambiance music that is not nessissary. The lack of music does a great job of giving the film an eerie and isolated feel. When there is music, its subtle and highlights the story well, but when the action kicks in, the music makes your heart race! The soundtrack nailed it.</p>
<p>The writing and acting really pull you into the film and help you to care about what happens to the characters. Though the film drags out a bit in places, when the action takes off, it takes off keeping viewers on the edge of their seats!</p>
<p>The bottom line is that The Ford Brothers tried to create a film that sets its self apart from the horde of B-Grade Zombie flicks out there&#8230; and they nailed it.</p>
<p>We know what you are thinking: &#8220;So&#8230; what is this, like Resident Evil 5?&#8221;</p>
<p>No. Its like a Zombie Movie set in Africa. You should check it out!</p>
