Zombie Road Kill – Trailer

Dead Matter- Directed by Edward Douglas

Ok…I’m going to go ‘off’ my regular rating scale here…and why? Simple: this movie is an independent film. Why should it be treated differently than any other film? Simple again: It looks like a full on Hollywood production.

‘The Dead Matter’ is the first full-length film conceived and directed by Midnight Syndicate founder, Edward Douglas. What?!?!? The Music score guys? Yeah, THOSE guys. Think about it- instead of just writing more music (which we love by the way) they went out and shot their own movie! They didn’t go half assed either, they got some genre favourites like Andrew Divoff (Wishmaster), Jason Carter(Babylon 5), and Tom Savini (You BETTER damn well know who he is…FX master…Dawn of the dead) then mixed in amazing effects and makeup, while composing their amazing music to go along with it all. Again: AS AN INDEPENDENT!!!

With that all being said, is this the greatest movie in the world? No. there are some failings, the younger cast is not the most experienced group of actors in the world, some of the effects might seem a bit ‘hokey’ to some, but I still have to give it up to Midnight Syndicate for going balls out to put out one of the best looking ‘independent’ films I’ve seen in a while! It’s a good time and fun as fuck. (there’s yer tagline Ed!!!)

NOW…let’s get to the ‘even more awesome’ the DVD set I got was a THREE disc set, it has the movie, the original soundtrack CD AND a ‘greatest hits’ Midnight Syndicate CD as well! That is a jam packed DVD/CD set for only 20 bucks… You can get it over at your local Hot Topic, or just online HERE…

Since I’m not ‘rating’ the film in the same way I’ve done others in the past- I’ll say this: I thought it was fun and the 3 disc set is WELL worth picking this one up…

If yer really lazy- just order it here:

3 new teasers for Walking Dead!!!!

Yeah…that is the ‘Awesome’ that is Birdemic: Shock and Terror… and it plays TONIGHT at 11:55 at the Mayfair- the home for film you won’t see anywhere else!
So what else is going on this month at the Mayfair? Lemme tell ya:

The Crow is on Sunday Sept 5th at 9:00

September 10th at 10:45 …I STRONGLY URGE you to go see: Night of the Living dead: Reanimated! You’ve never seen anything like this…trust me Check the trailer:

Friday September the 17th is a double shot of horror when Ottawa Horror (DOT COM!) presents: The Human Centipede at 9:45 pm (If you miss it you can see it on the 18th as well at 9:45 or the 23rd at 9:00) which is then followed up by the original classic 1980 film: I Spit on your Grave (aka: Day of the Woman) at 11:45.

Unfortunately I missed this one (it was last night…dammit) but I had to share the trailer with you Zombie Holocaust (a.k.a. Dr. Butcher M.D.) :

Those crazy Italians!

The Mayfair Theatre plays some of the greatest (and the not so greatest …but that is fun as hell) movies out there… they really are the best place to have a ‘movie going experience’. While there are OTHER FILMS this month- these are just the ones that ‘pop’ to me:) Stay tuned for October’s news … you never know, zombieinfo.com might just be slipping in a show during the spookiest month of the year!

Movies at Mayfair this month!

Here we go, Shamblers…with another book for the ‘Well Read Undead’ with me- ‘the Zombiequeen!’  (and yes…I realize this book has been out since 2004… I don’t care- a good book is a good book.  But IS it good?  read on and find out!

Monster Island is the first in a trilogy of online serial novels from David Wellington which was received well and they decided to put em out as these old and dusty ‘book’ things… While online writing is nice, curling up with a good laptop or Kindle just doesn’t have the same ‘ring’ to it… but I digress.

The story takes place in zombie-infested Manhattan and follows a group of Somalian School girls-turned-soldiers (YES you read that right) led by a former UN weapons inspector (Dekalb) as they attempt to locate medical supplies needed for their ailing warlord (Dekalb’s daughter is being held by the warlord, ensuring his co-operation).  They encounter a zombie who has managed to preserve his consciousness (Gary) and who is being controlled by a mysterious dark force whose intent is to destroy the human race.  Well…what’s left of it anyway!

I enjoyed this novel at the beginning and it did have a few interesting twists… but  I did find the plot got a bit messy at times later on – zombies and mummies and druids- oh my! (You’ll get that joke when you read the book!)

I really liked the concept of the ’sentient zombie’ (I thought that the Zombieking and I were the only ones!)  and the lead character was interesting enough…  Stack up a  good zombie death count, and we have a pretty decent book…just not ‘perfect’.  Maybe the others in the series (Monster Nation and Monster Planet) will win me over…we’ll see!

I give this one 3 out of 5 bloody eyeball martinis!

I am the Zombie Queen and this topic is DEAD …and buried!

Book Review-Monster Island by David Wellington

Check this stuff out:

This is some of the stuff from EDEN STUDIOS…  They have a CRAP TON of horror gaming to be had, from the zombie game ‘All flesh shall be eaten’ to the brand new game based on the HACK/SLASH comic… this is a fantastic place to snag some cool-ass games.

ABOUT EDEN STUDIOS:

Eden Studios makes cool games and books. Their popular and highly acclaimed lines include All Flesh Must Be Eaten, the zombie survivor horror roleplaying game; CJ Carella’s WitchCraft, the roleplaying game of dark secrets and magic; and Conspiracy X, the roleplaying game of aliens and government cover-ups. Eden has also produced award-winning games based on a stellar array of licensed properties, including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and the cult classic Army of Darkness.  HERE IS THEIR HOME PAGE!

Fantasy Flight Games have a few different ‘horror’ themed games, such as the above- Arkham Horror!   They carry a HUGE selection of stuff, covering horror, fantasy, even boardgames based on video games!  You can check out their catalog HERE!

ABOUT FANTASY FLIGHT GAMES:

Roseville, MN based Fantasy Flight Publishing was founded in 1995 by its CEO Christian T. Petersen. Since the release of its first game product Twilight Imperium in 1997, the company has been doing business as Fantasy Flight Games (“FFG”).  Since that time, FFG has grown to become one of the biggest names in the hobby games industry, being a marketplace leader in board games, and maintaining strong businesses in the card game, roleplaying game, and miniature game categories.
FFG is known for its quality of game components (often enhanced with highly detailed plastic miniatures and beautiful artwork), innovative gameplay, professional dedication to customer service, and a cutting-edge online presence providing information, and support to its many products.
FFG’s best-known titles include games based on licenses such as Battlestar Galactica, World of Warcraft, and The Lord of the Rings, proprietary titles such a Arkham Horror and Descent: Journey’s in the Dark as well as re-releases of classic titles such as Cosmic Encounter, Fury of Dracula, and DungeonQuest.
In 2008, FFG formed an exclusively partnership with industry-leading UK-Based Games Workshop (“GW”), to represent its acclaimed IP’s “Warhammer” and “Warhammer 40K” in the hobby games market, publishing new versions of classic titles such a Talisman and Horus Heresy as well as brand new games such a Warhammer Invasion and Chaos In the Old World.

This one was near and dear to my heart… I f I had one, that is… ZOMBIE DICE by Steve Jackson games! The premise is simple:  Eat brains. Don’t get shotgunned.

It is my plan to do up a review on this game in the near future…  just gotta get time on it all- but I figured I had the pic so why not share it with you!  Check out the Steve Jackson games HOMEPAGE

That’s it for this batch- LOTS more to come, plus even more after that when I reveal some of the great horror and zombie stuff I found at the Fanexpo this year!  Keep it locked to zombieinfo.com!

More cool stuff from Gen Con…

OK so head over to Glowmonkey.com and play a couple of rounds of “Zombie Balloon Heads”. It’s a FREE, somewhat addictive Flash based game that has you filling zombie heads with ink until they explode… sounds like fun eh. It plays like a side and vertical scrolling shootemup (think Castlevania without the puzzles). It gets repetitive after awhile, but its fun and free to play!

You can play it here http://www.glowmonkey.com/

or here http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/543849

Oh, and just for shits and giggles, there’s a Flash game named after me… well maybe not after me, but it’s another cool little Flash game that has you playing a giant man-eating worm (ala Tremors) digging through the ground, building up momentum to eat some tasty little humans running around helplessly above ground. Check out Wormfood at http://www.miniclip.com/games/worm-food/en/

Games for the Undead!

I was at a FEW conventions and gathered up a TON of pics and info- here is just a taste of some of the cool stuff I saw at Gen Con this year- and where/how you can get your own!  In order to not overwhelm with ‘teh awesome’ I am gonna dole it out in smaller spurts… enjoy!

Check it out:

Former Zombieinfo feature (CHECK IT OUT HERE)  Billy Tackett (along with his wife Heather!) was there showing why he is one of the absolute best in Zombie art…. he has cool ass teeshirts and some wicked new art.  Part of me hates him…because I just can’t draw.  The other part of me  is happy he’s one of our friends…and the other part of me is just kind of hungry and sleepy.  ANYWAY- moving on!

This is just a SMALL sampling of the coolness that Zombie Buddy Productions had in their booth- good thing they have an online store HERE to show off more of their stuff…  Great folks and also a regular at Gen Con!

One more…I’ll save some for future posts…

Glitch Gaming Apparel were new to the show this year, but they had some really cool shirts and such- Check them out ONLINE  HERE

The guys were great and seemed to have a pretty good time!

Anyway- as promised I don’t want to bombard you with a billion pics… so I’ll put them out over time – and I will also feature stuff I found at Fanexpo coming up as well!
