If this doesn’t convince you that you should get the new Valve game Left 4 Dead, the zombie first person shooter, nothing will. OK, maybe one other thing will… the Left 4 Dead demo which is available for download now. A nice way to get you all prepared for the zombie apocalypse which is due to happen November 18th.

These little pets of the dead can be found over at the ever quirky Archie McPhee. Ever loving and ever hungry for your brains, these zombielicious critters would make a fine addition to any family. They may not do a lot of tricks but they will keep unwanted visitors, like those pesky Jehovah Witness, far and away. So please, give these needy pets a home.

Want to waist a whole day getting your paper craft skillz on? Then Cubeecraft is where you begin your journey. These nerdtastic paper toys need no tape, glue or mad origami skills to assemble.

Variety reports that “Columbia Pictures is getting serious about scaring up a new installment of its blockbuster Ghostbusters franchise” and nerds around the world are all a twitter, as I myself am.
They go on to say:
The studio has set “The Office” co-exec producers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky to write a script for a film designed to bring back together the original cast of Harold Ramis, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson.
Studio would not comment on the development and has been mum on recent rumors that there was interest in making another installment of the franchise.
The scribes just wrote “Year One,” a comedy that was directed by Ramis. Ramis with Aykroyd wrote the first two installments of the films. Ivan Reitman directed both the 1984 original and the sequel that was released in 1989. The close proximity between the writers and original Ghostbuster Ramis is evidence that the ghost chasers have sparked to the idea of returning.
SQWEE!
I give you Kansas’ iconic song Dust In The Wind, as sung by zombies. No really, I mean it. Zombies can sing. And if you were the Living Impaired you could sing too if you had someones hand up your bum! Created by Matt Ficner these zombies are for the Creepy Puppet Project, which I think sums up everything you need to know about this project.
To see more of his puppet creations shamble over to his YouTube page.
I’m sure there’s a Jim Henson joke somewhere in all of this.
What do you do if you’re a fan of the film Gremlins 2 and you hated the projection booth scene in which the little green beasts invaded, only to get reprimanded by Hulk Hogan? Why you create a better version all on your own, which is what French fan Sacha Feiner does with amazing results.
Feiner explains:
This is the alternate fan sequence I made for the DVD version of the Gremlins 2 “film break” scene. I made it alone, in a two months period, with (computer-enhanced) puppets I re-created for this project.
In Feiner’s alternate version the Gremlins proceed to splice themselves in various films to reek mayhem and hilarity. And the effects are almost seamless, which is pretty damn impressive for a home-grown project.

Fancy yourself an animator? Love George Romero’s Living Dead franchise? Then NotLD: Reanimated is just for you. The premise is easy -
The project is a mass collaborative animation in which artists working in all media are given the chance to re-envision Might of the Living Dead. This can be done in any style, medium or approch. The only restrictions are:
-Must be your own work.
-Must match the original audio.
-Must be in Black and White.
Once they receive all of the submissions they’ll organize the materials and the timeline will be reanimated one scene at a time to create a completely new visual track. In other words they’re going to use various images to create a brand-new visual reimagining of Night of the Living Dead. Pretty swank if you ask me.
There’s more information and submission guidelines on the NOTLD: Reanimated site.
Below is an update of some of the materials received, giving you a better idea of what they are trying to accomplish.
The folks over at AMC’s SciFi Scanner present to you this PSA on how to protect yourself from the various monsters that roam the Earth.
Do you know how to defend against a zombie? How about a gremlin? No? Well watch this and learn rookie.
The Coffin is a Thai horror film based on a ritual of being buried alive to fend off bad luck. But in the case of this film it shows that being buried alive actually sucks…. a lot. Whoda thunk?
