Virtual Reality Left 4 Dead

8 Feb

With only a VR headset, a Wii, some software (GlovePIE) and a copy of Left 4 Dead you too can experience some genuine zombie apocalypse training.

While the upgrade to Wii motion plus is still to be implemented for more accurate shooting, this looks as close to the zombie apocalypse that we ever want to be.

If anybody would like to recreate this and do a tutorial for us please get in touch.

Astro Zombies: M3 Cloned – Trailer

4 Feb

One of the worst ‘zombie’ movies ever is getting it’s second sequel.

The Astro Zombies came out in 1968 and was rightfully left alone until original director Ted V. Mikels decided to make a sequel in 2002, Mark of the Astro Zombies.

While slightly better, it was still awful and despite 35 years of special effects enhancements was still just a man in a rubber mask.

Again, not listening to the terrible reviews, Mikels returns for a third outing with M3: Cloned the trailer for which you can see above.

Should you wish to torture yourself or a loved one you can keep up to date with the latest happenings over on the official site.

It’s George A. Romero’s Birthday – Happy Birthday George!

Everyone’s favourite zombie film director George A. Romero turned 70 today.

George has directed over 20 films across 5 decades and is best known, around these parts anyway, for his work on The Living Dead series, including Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead and the recently completed Survival of the Dead.

He is responsible for getting most of ZC HQ into zombies and we’d all like to wish him a happy birthday.

Whack-A-Zombie Toy

Whack-A-Zombie Toy

One of the stocking fillers I got for Christmas was this little whack-a-zombie toy.

It’s a little inflatable zombie with a sand (or something) base that you can punch over AND IT GETS BACK UP! Just like a real zombie.

There’s not much more to it than that. Currently it sits on my desk at ZC HQ and every time something goes wrong or we run out of zombies to kill I’ll flick it over with a ping.

Teehee.

I’m doing it now.

So, if you’re looking for a cheap gift for a stressed out zombie hunter this blow-up zombie toy could be the perfect thing.

The Last Stand – Episode 3

1 Feb

They were seven, now they are three. The other side of the river didn’t prove safe for them as once thought. Davis, Beth, and “Shots” survived another zombie attack and have now met a group of survivors known as The Remains. Led by Tension, a man who watched his wife die only to become a zombie, he has given our survivors some rather bad news: St. Teresa’s isn’t the safe place as they thought.

Part 3 of the zombie web series was put up today and still sports some of the meanest sideburns this side of Wolverine.

With more action and more drama this series keeps getting better. Why not check out Part 1 or Part 2 or head over to the official site for insider tips.
