Vagabond Mobile Safe House Device

I can’t believe I didn’t get wind of the 2011 Zombie Safe House Competition when it was launched. Did you? Their description got me at the outset: In the end who will save mankind from the Zombie Apocalypse? It is our belief that artists, designers, and architects will need to weigh in heavily to provide Safe Houses that can stand an assault on civilization. Don’t be caught unprepared, sign up today and register for the 2011 Zombie Safe House Competition, you may be our last hope. Sure, I have no hopes of joining the contest, but the results are amazing. The first prize of the 2011 Zombie Safe House Competition Read more »

Zombiecalypse, Icelandic Version

Zombie Iceland

Till I actually heard the audiobook version of World War Z, I never thought anything about the book. If I had an irrelevant bucket, it would have been placed there. A few minutes into the audiobook, though, I was hooked. Big time. Today, I was reminded of the story when I heard about this book called Zombie Iceland. If my memory serves me well, Iceland was not a location covered in World War Z. However, if and when the zombiecalypse does happen, I am pretty sure the country will not be spared. They may not bear the brunt of the problem with their climate and all, but they will surely Read more »

Zombies, Run!

Zombies Run

No one can deny that Kickstarter is a great place to discover all sorts of cool stuff, and what I came across today is simply more proof. Zombies, Run! is a video game project being developed in the UK by Six to Start and Naomi Alderman. It is an iOS and Android app that is all about, well, zombies! With all the hype about zombies, I have heard of some people who simply have had enough of the undead. However, I do believe that there are still more who just can’t get enough of anything zombie-related. From movies to books to art to games – zombies have this special attraction Read more »

That’s Not Your Mommy Anymore: The Zombie Book for Children

That's Not Your Mommy Anymore Cover

I spent the entire weekend with my two nephews, aged 6 and 7 months. It was sheer bliss and utter tiredness at the same time. I guess it’s like that when you have kids. One thing I know – I want to get them this book that I have just discovered. That’s Not Your Mommy Anymore is not your usual children’s book, but it is perfect for parents (or aunts, uncles, whatever) who just can’t get enough of zombies. While I do have a very low threshold for anything zombie-related, I appreciate a good zombie story. And from what I have seen of the preview, this zombie book for children Read more »

New McFarlane Walking Dead Action Figures

New McFarlane Walking Dead Action Figures

With the TV series “The Walking Dead” being picked up for a second season, and “first looks” being shown left and right, toy maker McFarlane’s announcement of two new action figures couldn’t have come at a better time. Earlier this year, in February, McFarlane already announced its line of action figures – from both the comics and the TV series. Here’s one of those action figures, which never fails to turn my stomach each time I look at it (don’t ask me why I keep looking anyway). It’s a Zombie Lurker, by the way. The two new action figures are little more easy on the eyes. Here’s the one of Read more »

How Ready Are You for the Zombie Apocalypse?

How Ready Are You for the Zombie Apocalypse?

We all know it’s coming. It is not a question of if, but when. The other question is how prepared you are for when the zombie apocalypse does happen. Admittedly, there are some people who are not taking this seriously, and if you are one of them, you might want to stop and listen. Heck, even the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are taking it seriously! This government agency is the best when it comes to emergencies and public health matters, so why shouldn’t we pay attention to what they say? Recently, the CDC released a primer on preparedness, for when the zombie apocalypse occurs. In true CDC style, Read more »
