Seemed like quite a while back since we mentally hyperventilated over the fact that Wish.co.uk actually organized zombie-fighting adventures in malls, so you can imagine how thrilled we were to find out that they’ve now emerged with even more zombie fun. There’s the Zombie Boot Camp, where you can learn how to shoot zombies down [...]

Creepy vampire and zombie Reborn dolls

Rebekah Rhoden Contributor

By Rebekah Rhoden in New Products on Wednesday 30 January 2013

If you though Reborn baby dolls were disturbing, artist Bean Shanine took that concept to the next level of creepy with her vampire and zombie Reborn baby dolls. The creation of these ultra-realistic dolls involves hours upon hours of painstaking sculpting and painting. They look incredibly convincing, but it would take a brave person to keep one in their house.

Zombies hang out, do yoga

Low Lai Chow Contributor

By Low Lai Chow in Video on Wednesday 28 November 2012

My yoga studio recently knocked on the idea of doing a Halloween-themed class on the day itself. Naturally I was thinking of turning up as a zombie — which is how I found this 5-year-old clip of people dressed up as zombies, fighting decay with yoga. Don’t quite dig the music, but it is beautifully [...]

Brain-eating politicians, why not? Thanks to Illinois-based artist Jeremy Plemon, you can now look at past US presidents looking pretty disheveled and slightly unhinged in full zombiefied glory.

Zombie apocalypse is coming, eat up these brains

Low Lai Chow Contributor

By Low Lai Chow in New Trends on Friday 31 August 2012

This talk of a zombie apocalypse is really getting to everyone’s heads. So much so that mobile food company Street Kitchen recently made its rounds in London last week offering brain burgers and the such prepared with ‘responsibly sourced British ingredients’, presumably to get Londoners used to gourmet zombie delicacies. Yes, real (calf) brains, real offal. This was staged to celebrate the season 2 DVD launch of TV series The Walking Dead.

By Kristine Engemann in Architecture on Saturday 18 August 2012

KWK Promes’ Safe House is the last word in zombie-proof housing. Complete with moveable walls that totally encapsulate the structure, including the indoor pool, there is no way you’ll fall victim to hoards of disease-ridden neighbors now. When in safety mode, the only entrance is accessible via a second-story drawbridge, allowing you to live out the apocalypse in peaceful, if solitary, luxury.

By Eric Michaels of Paper Thick Walls in Video on Friday 16 December 2011

I met Jesse Gentry a few years ago on the set of a short film about zombies, cowboys and robots from space. The dude has a weird style that is nothing short of macabre. Lately, I have been very impressed with his photographs. They involve small-scale models and figurines that he builds in his apartment [...]

Zombie Infested 5km Obstacle Course Race

Zolton Contributor

By Zolton in New Events on Thursday 14 July 2011

Yup, only in Baltimore. This creative hotspot is now home to the oddest short course race on the planet: ‘Run For Your Lives is an apocalyptic 5K obstacle race. But you’re not just running against the clock. You’re running from brain-hungry, virus-spreading, bloody zombies’. And if that isn’t enough, at the end of it all, there’s a full-on celebration, ‘or zombie transformation’, as they put it, with live music, food, and beer. It all takes place on October 22.
