There can be only one winner...You might have seen it before, but this classic Zombie Vs Shark scene (apparently from the 1979 movie called Zombie), is quite great. I mean - it’s ridiculous, and disappointingly, there is no definitive outcome as the video shows, but still: It’s a Zombie Vs a Shark and for that, it deserves credit. Nothing about this scene makes much sense. I mean, the shark is clearly trying to ‘be a shark’ (swim around, look menacing) and couldn’t care less about the zombie hanging on to its fins. The zombie, well, what the hell is he playing at? Trying to eat a shark? Trying to eat sharks brains? Come on… I think next time, they need to use a fake shark with amazing animatronics that can have its fins ripped off and create one of those underwater ‘blood clouds’, perhaps even start a vicious shark feeding frenzy and maybe even produce zombie sharks. Now that - that would kick arse. Zombie sharks. Now, just to settle the score with pirates, ninjas and anything else that’s awesome. OK - Chuck Norris. 2008-08-09T00:20:00+00:00 http://www.crawlofthedead.com/article/robot_zombie_gnomes/ http://www.crawlofthedead.com/article/robot_zombie_gnomes/#When:00:07:00Z More mayhem for your garden... A remote controlled zombie for your garden!It’s a mere couple of weeks since we noticed the garden Zombie Gnomes pop up on the internet. And, well - they are pretty damn awesome. But some new Zombie Gnome lovers have come out with something even better. A talking, groaning, screaming, crawling, remote controlled zombie with entrails! Un-frick-ing-believable! Check it! I’d get one of them for my lounge! The cat would be scared shitless! So, the good news is that you can buy these now! I kid you not! The bad news is, at $2,650 a pop they might be a tad too expensive for most people… General 2008-08-09T00:07:00+00:00 http://www.crawlofthedead.com/article/the_chainsaw_maid/ http://www.crawlofthedead.com/article/the_chainsaw_maid/#When:07:36:00Z Smile with glee at this lovely little animated film about zombies attacking the wrong maid, at the wrong time.Popping up on the zombie radar this week is this charming little Japanese animated film, entitled ’CHAINSAW MAID‘. When I was a kid, I used to love watching the innocent ’Morph‘ on BBC childrens classic, Hart Beat. I’m not quite sure what little old Morph would have to say for himself if he bumped in to this rather brutal maid. He’d probably get rather excited. Check it out, the ultra-gore is just superb. As is the sequence with a lady throwing up the entire contents of her rib cage and lower abdomen.

Thrill The World is one of those things. When I first heard of it, the idea completely blew me away: get a bunch of people together, dress up as zombies and learn the dance to Michael Jackson’s Thriller. It’s nothing but sheer genius. Hundreds of people participate all over the world and the project has been making and breaking all kinds of records, including the Guinness World record for largest simultaneous Thriller dance. When I first stumbled in to a YouTube video of Thrill The World 2007, I wet myself with excitement and rushed to the website for more information. But the website was wearing down at its corners and clearly needed a bit of TLC. Time to call in the zombie website design police! I jumped on the phone to Thrill The World’s leading lady, Ines Markeljevic and asked if she needed a hand. She did, and here we are! Ines is dead chuffed with her new site, and can’t thank us enough. Well, in her exact words, she says the site is “****ing awesome!”. She’s pleased, and we’re very pleased as we’ve now got somewhere to go and learn the dance to Thriller and find out more information about this years massive worldwide simultaneous zombie dance . So it’s with great pleasure that Crawl of the Dead can officially endorse the awesome project that is, Thrill The World. Go check it out!

Spread the infection! Make some zombies!Another boring day at the office? Are you dreaming of gore whilst being stuck at your desk? Then how about this, the Zombie Face Changer. Created to promote the DVD release of Diary of the Dead, whatever your opinion is of the film, any zombie fan is sure to enjoy a little play on this. It could make the company intranet look a whole lot more interesting, don’t you think?

Zombie gnomes are here!Gnomes are never normally that exciting (with the exception of Bling Gnomes, perhaps), but luckily - the world of gnomes is about to change - with the arrival of ZOMBIE GNOMES! British artist-slash-genius Alan Dickinson came up with these garden sculptures for home and garden website, Design Toscano, after they challenged him to create his most haunting garden piece. It’s now official that zombie gnomes are, in the words of Zero Punctuation’s Yahtzee, ’FUCKEEEN ORSEEM‘. Damn! Two computer games related references in one article! What is going on today!? The zombie gnomes are available to buy over on www.designtoscano.com and there might well be more information on Alan’s site at: www.alandickinson.net (at least I think that’s his site!).

She’s a YouTube video blogger who’s put out a fair few videos in the past and has quite a large subscriber base. At the beginning of June, she had an idea about making a zombie movie and it has since become a fruit of the internet through the wonders of the wonderful world wide web. You know how things work. Anyway, this is the 280,000-hits-and-counting video that started it all… Anyway, so yes - she posted that video and then everything exploded, and now the BBC want to film the project and make a documentary about its progress. Nice! Bryony is aiming to finish the movie by Halloween this year, so she’s got her skates on and is steaming full speed ahead. They’ll be zombies required, of course, plus other roles to fill in the process of making the movie. Sounds fantastic, especially as anyone can get involved - it’s a collaborative project. Further information over at the BBC Press Office, official BBC ‘Bryony makes a Zombie Movie‘ website and the BBC Internet Blog. Oh, and of course - the actual website for the project: internetzombiemovie.blogspot.com. Head over there to get involved and join in the fun.

Most people on Crawl of the Dead enjoy dressing up as zombies, normally once or twice a year. But one man in Canada has decided to go that extra step further, by tattooing himself as a zombie. His head, face, arms and hands all show incredible detail of rotting flesh and decaying bones. It’s really quite amazing. In an interview with Bizarre magazine, Rick says that over the years he’s found himself wanting to become a zombie. With 24 hours of tattooing costing over 4000 canadian dollars, he’s dedicated - that’s for sure! Read more about Rick and a full interview over on the Bizarre Magazine website, or in this months edition, on sale now in the UK.

The scent of fresh blood. Blood spilling out from new low-budget zombie flick, Bled White. Kelli Tidmore, producer on the film emailed Crawl of the Dead to tell us that we would dig this movie big time - and she's not wrong. It's a full feature film focusing on the hunger of both humans and zombies in the post-apocalyptic world - a nice twist I think. Black teeth are most definitely the way forward... For the record: If I were a human survivor living in a world of zombies and starvation - I'd certainly have a quick nibble on the nearest sweet-smelling person, if I was hungry that is. And only if there was some ketchup around, naturally. Anyway, the trailer wins big plus points for including those über-scary zombies: the ones that run and someones face being ripped off: again, always good for thrills. Check out the trailer now!

I see lots of awesome things on the internet all the time - hey, that's what the internet is there for, right? Finding awesome things. This latest find is just plain beautiful. It comes from Jason Chan, a concept artist and illustrator based in San Francisco, California; and it is his latest entry in to the Thunderdome: Last Man Standing contest on ConceptArt.org.Following the theme 'outbreak', it does a wonderful job at depicting both playground nostalgia and undead hoards ascending the colourful climbing frames to find their next meal. I love it! Check out more of Jason Chan's fantastic artwork over on his blog, jasonchanart.blogspot.com. General 2008-06-04T21:28:00+00:00
