I Can’t Feel My Legs … Argh!
As technology continues to progress so does our ability to create creepy robot zombies. This one is hilarious. It’s a zombie without legs that crawls across the floor. Its eyes glow bright red and every once it awhile, it grunts some crazy saying. Here’s some info from the creator: The Crawling Zombie has no legs, can only crawl manically along the ground using it’s arms with blood red eyes and a growling voice. With LED light up eyes and speech! Clap your hands or tap it’s hand and the Crawling Zombie comes to life racing across a flat surface. As the zombie crawls he growls, shudders and as he chases you he says either “hey slow down would ya, I can only crawl so fast” … Read entire article »

Dead Wolverine
Wolverine has always been my favorite superhero. When I was in comic collecting phase, I managed to collect the first fifty issues of the series before I moved on. So it’s kind of a shock to myself when I write this, but I gotta say, I like the guy better dead than alive. This is one zombie where shooting for the head will get you nowhere.

Hare Krishna Zombie
I must say, when I saw the original Dawn of the Dead all those years ago, the only thoughts I had for the Hare Krishna zombie was for it to get blown away. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen Dawn of the Dead, but If I recall correctly, the Hare Krishna zombie just hung around like a booger at the the end of finger which refuses to be flicked off. Well, for those of you who loved the zombie, you’ll be happy to know our favorite devout dead man is now on sale at Amazon for a lofty six bucks. That’s right, you can have his little beady eyes staring at you all day the same way a dog stares at a piece of meat. I … Read entire article »

What Would a Zombie Do?
Have you ever wanted to live a day in the life of a zombie, but were somewhat confused at what to do? Mind you, it is pretty easy to know what to do, but the real question is when you should do it. For example, should take a moment to decompose, or wander into some empty alley. Thankfully, there is a zombie spinner that will be such decision making relatively easy. Spin the severed arm and the choice is made. Such choices are: Eat Brains, drool, hunt the living, decompose, reek, moonwalk, plod, rise from the grave, moan, devour flesh, force entry, congregate. Of course, if there is no flesh handy for you to devour, you’ll just have to spin again. What Would a Zombie Do Spinner (amazon.com … Read entire article »

Zombie Finger Puppets
They’re coming to get you, Barbra. Except they’re about a few inches tall and they glow in the dark. And their horrific grunts sound more like a pair of mice on crystal meth. How I would love to see Night of the Living Dead retold in finger puppet form. In any case, if you were looking for zombie finger puppets that glow in the dark, look know further. They cost only a buck a pop which sounds cheap until you read the shipping costs. Evidently stuffing a finger puppet into a first class envelope doesn’t cost what it used to. Zombie Finger Puppets (amazon.com … Read entire article »

B Movie Victims
So we have zombie ducks. Remote controlled zombies. Even zombie superheroes. The one thing that we are missing are zombie victims. Introducing the “B Movie Victim Figure Set”, otherwise known as the, “I have a toy deadline tomorrow and not an idea in sight”. Actually, the figures are pretty campy in a good way. Horrified B-Movie Victims Figure Set (amazon.com … Read entire article »

Zombie Rubber Duck
Yes. You did not misread the title. A zombie rubber duck, thus proving that even bathroom toys are not safe from zombie bites. Actually, it’s officially called a Zombie Devil Duck, so I’m guessing this rubber ducky was a spawn of Satan before it got bitten. Either that, or its got some serious identity issues to work through. Zombie Rubber Duck (amazon.com … Read entire article »

Zombie Shooting Gallery
For some of us, the zombie apocalypse can’t come soon enough. We have the bunker, the crates of dried food and bottled water, and of course, an almost infinite supply of ammo. The one thing we don’t have is the unstoppable horde of rotting brain eaters. So how do you know your aim is up to snuff? Well, you can head to the local shooting gallery, but that’s just an approximation of your targets. You need something closer to the experience. Introducing the zombie shooting gallery. From the article: Take aim with the included laser assault rifle and blast the zombies as they pop up from the windows of the dark mansion. Too slow and they dine on the human hostages inside. Remember, practice … Read entire article »
