Their new single, 'I hate this, do you like it?' is a song which we can't help to not hate but like - and the video, it has to be said, it something we just downright love. Shot over four days in Leeds, UK; the music video features over 200 zombies wreaking total havoc in time to Chickenhawk's fierce fast paced metal soundtrack. It's the best zombie music video we've seen in ages, if ever! So enjoy! Directed by Danny North produced by Roach Productions.

Here's a great chance to star in a new music video that is shooting soon!A new music video being filmed at the end of March in the UK, and 100 zombies are needed to star in it. There is still plenty of time to apply! Here is the email in full: I am in the early stages of pre-production for a music video where I need around 100 zombies!! The video is for a new and upcoming band called The Moscow Underground, you can view them at http://www.themoscowunderground.com/ The video is a kind of homage to all the zombie films, past and present. The band come on stage in an empty venue and slowly, but surely the venue fills up with zombies all wanting to eat the band. I’m looking to get the word out online as I know there are so many ready and willing zombies out there to help out on something as cool as this. If you could post something on your facebook page that would really help me. We are looking to film around the end of March and would need about 30 zombies for an early morning outside shoot for some ‘28 Days Later’ style exteriors and then between 70 and 100 for an afternoon / evening shoot in a venue as they try and eat the band. Interested? Then send an email to monkeyshoveler at googlemail.com, and tell Stuart asap! You can find out more about the band, Moscow Underground, on their official site. 2009-02-22T09:09:00+00:00 http://www.crawlofthedead.com/article/zombification_101_what_you_need_to_know_to_become_a_zombie/ http://www.crawlofthedead.com/article/zombification_101_what_you_need_to_know_to_become_a_zombie/ Convention Fans has a great article with some top tips on how to dress up as a zombie.

Favourite food: Tots Favourite music: Dancehall Lifetime achievement: Winning FFA whole-milk tasting competition Reason to be in the Big Zombie Brother House: I’ve got some awesome drawing skills. When it comes to a craft task I could pretty much beat anyone hands down. I once spent 3 hours completing the shading on my girlfriend’s upper lip on a life drawing. It was incredible. I can use chalk. I’m frikking incredible with chalk. I could draw the whole weeks food budget. It’d be sweet. I could also make sure we have a buddy system in place so everyone knows someone’s got their back. If there was like, the end of the world, and people started to come back to life and invade the house and break in to eat us i’ve got nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills. I could hack our way out. Yessssss. I also spent one summer in Alaska with my uncle hunting wolverines. I’d be. Awesome. We thought that hilarious entry was well worth the first prize of a DVD Player and signed-by-Charlie-Brooker DVD copy of Dead Set. Congratulations also to our three runners up who have also all received a copy of Dead Set on DVD. If you didn’t win, then don’t worry. Dead Set is now available to buy on DVD. Featuring all five episodes, the Dead Set DVD includes a raft of extras including: Interviews with writer Charlie Brooker and Director Yann Demange Behind the scenes featurettes Special effects featurettes On set with Dead Set Deleted and extended scenes And you can buy it now online! 2008-12-01T23:24:00+00:00 http://www.crawlofthedead.com/article/simon_pegg_talks_about_why_zombies_should_never_run/ http://www.crawlofthedead.com/article/simon_pegg_talks_about_why_zombies_should_never_run/ Shaun of the Dead star and general all round zombie lover, Simon Pegg talks about all those running zombies that have popped up in recent years...Simon Pegg is of course the kind of person you’d want to ‘be best mates with’ (no, seriously - everyone says that). He’s also an all round awesome kind-of-guy, because he, along with Jessica Stephenson and Edgar Wright, created Spaced - the best cult British sitcom ever. Any fan of Simon Peggs will know he’s a lover of science fiction (including zombie films) and he often crops up online, talking about them - and he’s at it again. Pegg recently wrote a very interesting article about why zombies should never run. In recent years, a wave of films and video games have altered zombies in to, as Pegg puts it, ‘zombies 2.0’ - running around, their faces screaming with rage for blood. Scary. Yes. But zombies as we know and love them? No. Pegg discusses this topic very well and makes some extremely good points. Definitely worth a read, zombie fans.
