Zombie Monkey Projects: Odd Things For Odd People
This video has been making the rounds, and I can see what. It’s a music video for the song Driving this road until death sets you free, by Zombie Zombie, which uses stop motion animation to recreate John Carpenter’s The Thing… with G.I. Joe action figures.
How frigging sweet is that?
This is a pretty swank short film about a group of teenagers sometime after the Zombie Apocalypse doing what teenagers are apt to do - blow stuff up. But there’s also a potential love story here too:
“Jimbo is 13. All he can think about is one girl, Sarah Jane. And no matter what stands in his way - bullies, violence, chaos, zombies - nothing is going to stop him from finding a way into her world.”
Sony Screen Gems has released Quarantine The Game into the Internets as a promotional for the upcoming movie Quarantine, which is due out this October.
It’s a fun little romp through the apartment complex filled with the infected which you must make your way around to make it to your objective. Objective, shmobjective - this game is about rendering zombie-type freaks into a pile of red goo with whatever you can find.
Fun stuff.
Seems that claymation and zombies is becoming a big thing. First there was Chainsaw Maid, now there’s Zombies Eat Brains and Clay, a full-length film currently in the works. Featuring the voices by Daniel Roebuck (River’s Edge and TV’s Lost) and Chuck Williams (Puppet Master 5: The Final Chapter and Bubba Ho-tep), the film is due out sometime this year.

For the love of Zombie Jesus… someone get me this thing!
Sculpted by Alan Dickenson for Toscano (a supplier of lawn and garden nick-nacks as it were), “The Zombie of Montclaire Moors Sculpture” is a life-size quality designer resin zombie for your lawn or livingroom.

As if this day can’t get any better, what with the big announcement about Metropolis and all, we now hear that our favorite comic book ever, The Goon by Eric Powell, has been optioned to be made into a move by none other that director David Fincher (Zodiac and Fight Club)! And it gets better. Academy-Award nominated Blur Studio will be developing the film!
If you are unfamiliar with The Goon, a masterpiece of zombies and slapstick Lovecraftian humor set in some old-timey world, I highly suggest you walk into your local comicbook store and demand it. You’ll thank us for it.
Move over Ash, I have a new chainsaw wielding, zombie killing hero - CHAINSAW MAID!
Chainsaw Maid is the bloody claymation short about a maid, a chainsaw and zombies. What more do you really need to know? The film was created by Japanese amateur animator takena, who has a whole line of, as he calls it, “brutal clay animation!” you should check out.
Somehow I think Ray Harryhausen is giggling in the shadows.
For all you zombie-loving freaks out there… and I do mean “love” in the biblical sence… and I know there’s a lot of you… here’s your dream come true… the Necrocard.
A fine gent named Stewart Home decided to create these cards as a kind of lark, and then simply hand them out to anyone to see what their reaction would be. Seems like a lot of people dig the Necrocard. One guy even said jokingly ‘I fancy being buggered on the way to having my kidneys whipped out.’
But there will always be those who don;t have any sence of humor, like one lady who seemed convinced that Home was somehow involved in an insidious plan in luring her to her demise.
In any case ZMP thinks Home has come up with one of the best party favors ever, or at the very least open the doors to Man-Zombie love for future generations.
