Richmond Zombie Walk

Richmond, Virginia's Zombie Walk has become an annual tradition attracting young and old undead from all across the east coast. At its heart, the Richmond Zombie Walk is a fundraising parade benefiting various charities. We have costume contests and sometimes stage zombie attacks on poor innocent bystanders (all in the name of fun). So put on your bloody best and join the horror show!

Things that make you go “Eeeew”.

HUUUNGRY! HUNGRY JACK!
HUUUNGRY! HUNGRY JACK!

Lately Hollywood has been cranking out some truly sad horror films that aren’t even worthy enough to make any fan’s horror-boners twitch even a little. Well, the Evil Dead remake was good and Warm Bodies was stupid, but it somehow passed with it’s cuteness. Anyways, forget that Romeo and Juliet rip off!

Where’s the blood and guts!? When I go to a horror flick, the seats are returned to its upright and locked position and my mind goes on auto-pilot. Basking in the weird, shocking, crimson splatter of shredded flesh and fatal bite wounds (if I’m lucky). I’ll admit that I am no blood scholar, but I did run into this list of great films on BuzzFeed  that will definitely fill your quota psychopaths and supernatural disembodiment. They give you the tour, in chronological order, of films from the obvious favorite Texas Chainsaw Massacre to that bizarre Italian flick previously condemned as a snuff film, Cannibal Holocaust. It’s a  great variety of gross-out subgenres that I need to add to my “to-do” list.

So for those of you with the stomach, get on over to BuzzFeed and explore its 25 Great Gory Horror Films.

We all live in a zombie world, right?

Kentucky Fried Carcass logo by Ben Fellowes

Let’s face it. The zombie apocalypse is coming and there’s nothing we can do but accept it. We’ll have to eventually cater to our fellow citizens upon integrating this new demographic into society.

Artist Ben Fellowes has taken a stab at re-imagining some of our most famous logos to appeal to the undead. That is, if they have any eyes left to recognize anything. Playboy, Starbucks, FedEx.. you get it.

Check ’em out here.

 

Portrait of a Zombie

by

A working-class Irish family decides to care for their zombie son much to the chagrin of the neighbors and the local crime boss and all under the gaze of an American Documentary film crew. Will the Murphy’s love of their son be enough to protect them from a Dublin zombie outbreak? Or will they discover that blood runs thicker than water?

We haven’t seen it yet, but the trailer looks pretty rad. Rad.. Yeah, I said it. I’m bringing it back. Check it out.

Portrait of a Zombie is scheduled to run on Sunday, November4th at the Virginia Film Festival. Get your tickets now!

MAP OF THE DEAD. You’re going to need it.

When we come for you, where will you go? You cannot hide forever. What chance do you have if you don’t know where “safe” is? If the internet survives long enough, you may be able to consult the Map of the Dead. This map will show you the locations for food, guns, police, hospitals and the danger zones to look out for.. HA! Police. You are all the same walking meals. With or without a badge.

Even WTVR News had the foresight to warn you all back in April. And as one of their reporters fled in horror, narrowly escaping my infectious clutches, I was heard speaking of this map’s futility.

“BWAAAHAHA! You humans..  you have spirit left in you, but not for long. When the struggle to keep order becomes futile, and all of the modern conveniences of life slip away, the locations on these maps will only serve as reminder of where our meals are taken. Even now, as you prepare for our inevitable return, do you not understand.. WE ARE COMING FOR YOU!”

One word of caution. If you are anywhere near Carytown on Saturday, October 27th, may God help you!
