Site FAQs

Q. What’s your favourite zombie film?
A. Return of the Living Dead

Q. But that has running and talking AND clever zombies?
A. True, it doesn’t score highly on the authentic zombie meter, but that doesn’t stop it being a fantastic, exciting, scary and funny film.  It doesn’t necessarily have to be authentic to be good.

Q. I’m new to this whole genre.  Just where should I start?
A. It’s got to be Night / Dawn / Day of the Dead.  Though if you just want some fun viewing – I promise Return of the Living Dead will not disappoint

Q. What are your other favourite films?
A. Memento.  Evil Dead II.  Trainspotting.  The Matrix.  Empire Strikes Back.  Lola Rennt.  Leon.  Amelie

Q. What would you do in the even of a zombie plague?
A. Put on my best clobber, stick a webcam on my shoulder and kill myself in a non-physically obvious way.  Then I could be the best looking zombie out there and my adventures could be webcast out to the world.

Q. How come there’s nothing here about the Evil Dead films?
A. They’re good BUT THEY ARE NOT ZOMBIE FILMS!

Q. What makes you the big authority on zombies?
A. Nothing except that this site is my country – and I’m the president.

Q. What on earth are you doing a site about zombies for?
A. None of my friends is really interested in this sort of stuff, so if I can tell the internet at least I’m getting it off my chest.  And there’s got to be someone else out there who shares this obsession?

Q. Can I submit stuff to the site?
A. If you want; reviews, views, news, look-alikes, fan-fiction…if it’s relevant – and any good – then I’ll stick it up.
