everything is better with zombies

The ‘Anna and the Apocalypse’ trailer.

OK, normally I wouldn’t.

But Anna and the Apocalypse is a Christmas zombie movie musical. That makes it legitimately of note. It doesn’t mean that it’s going to be good; merely that they had to do some extra work to throw this sucker together. That already puts it ahead of a lot of Christmas horror flicks.

Organ Trail.

Old-style Oregon Trail video game, only with a zombie apocalypse theme. You can blame ML tech god Neil Stevens for this one; I was up until 2 AM getting to safety… although the rest of my party tragically died outside of Memphis when we ran out of food. Tragic, but exceptionally fitting for the genre. I kept expecting the corpses to reanimate and eat me, but they never did.

Yeah. This is probably going to end up on the bookshelf.

This being The Zombie Combat Manual: A Guide to Fighting the Living Dead. If only because it’s talking about zombie combat without firearms and written by a CERT first responder, which hopefully means that there’ll be believable arcane jargon. Lots of people can’t do arcane jargon properly.

Well, that’s why it’s arcane. And jargon.

“Re: Your Brains.”

My wife hates this song, for some reason. I’m also apparently not really supposed to sing it to the children as a lullaby.

But how will they learn that you should never trust zombies, otherwise?

The Zombie Rights Campaign.

I would normally come up with a ponderous parody response to the parody that is the Zombie Rights Campaign (ZRC), but I’d thought that I’d spare everybody that for once. Besides, people know where I stand when it comes to the Undead Menace: I don’t have to spell it out.

PS: It really does get the general tone right of the sites that it’s parodying, though. Down to the ever-so-slightly smug hectoring. One wonders…
