Go the Fuck to Sleep by Adam Mansbach and Ricardo Cortes

All My Friends Are Dead by Avery Monsen and Jory John

That's Not Your Mommy Anymore by Matt Mogk and Aja Wells

I Hate Everything by Matthew DiBenedetti

First Look: The Zombies of World War Z

We’ll admit that we’re a little confused over why the plot of World War Z is changing so drastically in the adaptation from page to screen, but that’s not going to stop us from eating up every piece of news about it that we can. Case in point: Set pics! These shots found their way to the interwebs earlier this week, giving us a sneak peek at how these particular zombies are shaping up. Step inside for a closer look! More »

‘World War Z’ Isn’t the Zombie Movie We Thought It Was Going to Be

Can we blame Brad Pitt for the fact that World War Z sounds nothing like the book that serves as its supposed source material? Probably not, though we’re still steamed that the screenwriters wrote a new character for him, considering that the book already has so many amazing people already. That confusion has since been cleared up. It’s not, as we thought, that Pitt required some special role; it’s because the whole movie is an entirely new story. Just check out the official synopsis.

Brad Pitt Needs to Stop Taking Roles That Don’t Fit Him

Brad Pitt has something of a “finders, keepers” thing going on with several upcoming film projects: Just because his production company Plan B picks up a project, doesn’t mean that Pitt is the best choice for the lead role. He’s matched himself to the unlikely part of the narrator of World War Z, and now the Latino priest from The Sparrow. More »

Video: What Is Going On In This Honda Commercial?

I may be coming a little late to this party, as the commercial in question was apparently loaded to Honda’s YouTube channel on April 20, but I have just seen said commercial for the first time, and honestly, I can’t quite figure out what’s going on. It looks like the beginning of a joke– one of the “A [blank], a [blank], and a [blank] walk into a bar” variety– and yet… More »

Snap This: Zombie Fingers Want Braaaaaains

I told myself earlier in the week that I should probably stop writing about zombies so much– I keep having dreams featuring them, and believe you me, it’s a lot less fun when the zombies win– but it’s kind of hard to come across something like this and NOT write about it. I think deviantART user Alephunky’s creativity is worth sharing, don’t you? Check out more of Alephunky’s stuff here. And don’t let those fingers anywhere near your head. More »

Here’s the First Look at ‘The Walking Dead’ Season 2

Zombies! The lady in this pic probably won’t make it past the premiere, but she could take down a few humans before getting a gun (or shovel) to the head. We don’t know much about season 2, but it will follow the survivors of a zombie apocalypse (Andrew Lincoln, Jon Bernthal, Sarah Wayne Callies, and others) as they escape the ruined CDC in Atlanta and look for shelter and other humans. Shooting began last week, and the first of 13 episodes will premiere on AMC in October. More »

Video: A Zombie Musical Love Story

While we’re on the subjects of both zombies and musicals: Has it ever occurred to you that maybe the undead deserve a musical of their very own? If it hasn’t, it should; but in any event, it occurred to SOMEBODY, and the result of that piece of epic wondering is this: Rigamortis: A Zombie Love Story. And it’s AWESOME. More »

13 Zombified Individuals Who Will Eat Your Brains

And by “zombified,” I mean that these characters weren’t originally zombies; however, due to some extremely creative fans and/or franchise writers and artists, they have become so, resulting in much hilarity. Just how much hilarity, you ask? Read on to find out! Just make sure to stand well back; they do have an unfortunate taste for grey matter. More »

Nerd News: ‘The Curse of the Buxom Strumpet’ Has the Best Zombie Cast Ever

Personally, I’m tickled enough by the idea of a period zombie comedy called The Curse of the Buxom Strumpet, but it gets even better when you add in the cast: Dame Judi Dench is the most recent addition, joining Sir Ian McKellen, Gillian Anderson, and Mark Williams. You guys! M, Gandalf, Scully, and Arthur Weasley are all going to be in the same movie! And that movie is about ZOMBIES! It really doesn’t get much better than that! More »
