A quick question for the masses: What is your favorite zombie movie, book, TV series, game, play, puppet show, song, or other media? How you define “zombie” is up to you. Just curious.

I’m a zombie geek. It’s dumb, I know. I don’t get it either.
Various Updates
I keep forgetting that I have this blog. Well, no, it’s not that I forget about it; it’s more like, in this world of Twitter and Facebook, it’s much easier to just post 140 characters and forget about it. Blogging seems like so much more work. So here’s some updates. First, before I get to…
More Zombie Stuff
Today, of course, was the 70th birthday of filmmaker George Romero. Romero is responsible for a number of films, such as The Dark Half, the original version of The Crazies (a remake of which is soon to be released), Martin, and plenty of others. What the world really remembers him for, and probably always will,…
It's All About the Zombies
You write one zombie story (or two or a half dozen), express a fondness for zombie movies like Day of the Dead and Shaun of the Dead and read zombie-themed books like Christopher Moore’s The Stupidest Angel, and suddenly you have a reputation as a zombie head.

Musical Interlude, with Zombies
Update: Well, apparently that’s not actually Jonathan Coulton himself in the video. Just a guy who’s very good at lip-syncing. That’s okay. I still approve. One of the things I really missed about Dragon*Con this year was Dragon*Con TV, the in-house tv network that shows parody commercials and "bumps" reminiscent of those done by AdultSwim…
Yee-HAW, that was fun!
People are still blogging like it’s the end of the world, and that’s perfectly appropriate, though I personally got zombified a couple of hours ago and my narrative self is presumably wandering the fields of Dixon, looking for fresh flesh to munch on. This kind of participatory narrative is fun to be a part of,…
