Season 2 “Mid season premiere” is back on TV from 12th February if you are in America; if you’re in the UK and you get FXUK it’s on the Friday after. If you’re neither of these then it’s time to visit isohunt…
This is an absolutely cracking show – tune in (or get it off the torrents) to see what they’re going to do with a barn full of zombies.
“I’ll never get sick of zombies. I just get sick of producers”
4th February: George A. Romero birthday , 72 years young today!
This sounds like some awful “My Girlfriend is a Zombie” rubbish but it’s actually pretty good. Australian set zombie apocalypse fare with Gummo / teenage nihilistic vibe. Originally a 15 minute short, looks like it’s set to get a the real movie treatment for 2012 / 2013.
The original is here to watch on Youtube
Max Brooks’ Zombie Epic is really in production; Brad Pitt’s in it, Jack out of Lost is in it, proper film maker Mark Forster’s directing it and it’s got a budget of over a hundred million dollars. Release date is December 2012.
Location shoots in Glasgow (as Philadelphia) have been done

Wow. According to News.com Australia, scientists have been experimenting with making real zombie dogs. Seems they can replace all their blood with this special saline solution, then a couple of hours after they’re clinically dead they can be brought back to life with an electric shock. The idea is to use it on humans if they’ve recieved a large blood loss injury, so it puts them into a kind of suspended animation.
According to the report, the dogs come back perfectly normal with no brain damage. Mark my words though, something’s going to go wrong when they get round to testing it humans. Trioxin 245? Return of the Living Dead? It’s a matter of time…
