An elderly man, draped over his grandson’s grave, begins to hear the sound of muffled knocks coming from under the ground. “Grandpa is coming,” he says repeatedly. He grabs a shovel and begins to dig. […]

’28 Days Later’ – Celebrating Two Decades of Danny Boyle’s Zombie Epic

Sartre famously wrote that “hell is other people”, and while it can be easy to sympathize with that statement, I think there’s more than one kind of hell. Despite a certain melancholic beauty in solitude, the fear of being alone is both primal and common enough that most people have nightmares about it at one […]

‘Project Zomboid’ Perfectly Captures the Bleak, Lonely, Absurd World of the Zombie Apocalypse

Project Zomboid is one of a rare breed in horror gaming that answers the question ‘could you survive this in real life?’ with a gleefully mocking ‘of course not, you stupidhead’.  First released on Steam Greenlight back in 2013, Project Zomboid has grown into a ridiculously deep hardcore zombie apocalypse survival sim where death is […]

[Review] SYFY’s “Day of the Dead” Is One Zombie Series That’s Especially Rotten and Lifeless

SYFY’s revamp of Romero’s zombie classic adds little to the overcrowded corner of horror and loses itself in generic melodrama and scares. Do we need another zombie television show? That’s the question that’s inherently on everyone’s minds when they even hear about a new zombie television series that pulls from George A. Romero’s Day of […]

Chronicling the Rise of “Z-TV” – A History of Zombies on Television

George A. Romero’s classic Dead films may have sparked an explosion of zombie media, but it took quite a while for these undead ghouls to invade television screens.
