Zombie Meet Counselor Meet Blog

My little test seems to have work. The last post made it to my LiveJournal account. But in the interest of getting all of the kinks out of this plugin here’s another zombie related post:

ZOMBIE MARRIAGE COUNSELING: I'M A LESBIAN

Blog Meet Blog Meet Zombies

Monday, April 27th, 2009

I’m testing out a plugin that’s supposed to repost my ZoMoPro posts to my LiveJournal blog. I think there’s some interactive functions as well, so it isn’t the syndication option that LiveJournal provides. It may work. It may go terribly wrong. Who knows? It’ll be a fun little adventure.

And in the interest in making this post at least not so damned boring here’s a swank video of this past Easter’s Philly Zombie Crawl. It was put together by Philly local filmogapher Bob Sweeney.

National Haunters Con and Philly Zombie Crawl Pics

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

So this past weekend I attended the National Haunters Convention, which took place at the Valley Forge Convention Center right outside of Philly. It’s a mix of a Haunted Attraction trade show and Halloween enthusiast show and included a tour of a local haunt named the Bates Motel and Haunted Hayride. There was a lot going on for me including running a class. A fun time was had by all.

And ’cause I’m a glutton for punishment, Sunday was the 4th annual Philly Zombie Crawl on South Street. My guess, and it’s just that, is that we had some 400 zombies wandering around South Street from bar to bar. All in all it was pretty successful. Being that I’m one of the organizer monkeys there was a lot going on for me. A fun time was had by all.

Sooo… Instead of going through all of the details of both events you can peruse all of the photographs I took this past weekend. Think of it as a gruesome picture book instead of me being a lazy bum.

Zombie Stomper Heels

The Zombie Stomper Platform Peep-Toes Heels are the sexy and are zombielicious. These just add more validity that there should be a real-life horror themed stripclub.

Metallica’s “All Nightmare Long” Video [Kind Of NSFW - Gore]

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

Through the years I’ve become a Metalica hater. Between the sell-out attitude, lack of musical integrity and the obvious overzealous greed for more money than anyone can need, I’ve not found a reason to like them in some time. That is until now.

I can man-up when I have to and this is one of those times. Above is one of the more creative music videos I have seen in quite some time – “All Nightmare Long” from their newest release Death Magnetic. The song itself hearkens back to when Metalica wasn’t Selloutica, with heavy string action, bombastic bass drums and lyrics that are dark and brooding. But what really wins me over is the video itself. With heavy inspiration coming from both the Cold War and the Zombie Apocalypse, and clever usage of throw-back filming techniques, “All Nightmare Long” is very effective and entertaining. I really don’t want to spoil the thing so I’ll just leave it at that.

Rob Zombie World Website Launches

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

Rob Zombie All of you Rob Zombie fans can now get even more obsessive and follow all his news in one centralized place – Rob Zombie World. Yes all you rabid Zombie fans, Rob is giving you a one-stop, all you can eat buffet of Zombie loven’.

Here you will find all the information you can stand about all of his projects be it comics, movies or music. There’s also a merchandise section that right now is empty but knowing how much Mr. Zombie is a promowhore, I’m sure it will be filled to the brim with all things Rob Zombie soon. And just to give you more reasons to stalk Zombie online he’s also got an actual blog (which means he’ll hopefully stop using that MySpace piece of crap to dispense information) and a Flickr account.

Right now there isn’t much on the site but that will probably change soon considering all of the new material he’ll be pumping out in the very near future.

“Carrion Re-Animating” Game Trailer

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

Zombie Cow Studios along with Lemmy & Binky have released a small game named “Herbert West in Carrion Re-Animating”, which was made as part of TIGsource’s Lovecraft competition.

As described by the Zombie Cow gang…

‘Tis the story of one Herbert West, and his macabre, unholy experiments. Deep down, in his dark, dank basement he feverishly works away on re-animating the dead!

His experiments go well until — most inconveniently, it must be said – the friends and family of the deceased begin to come a-knocking at the door, in a desperate search for their missing loved ones.

Clutching the re-animator serum in his trembling hands, poor Herbert rushes to the basement in a vain attempt to convince his visitors that their loved ones are live and well…

To play “Herbert West in Carrion Re-Animating” just download the game.
