A World On Fire – A Zombie Blog

Whether people like zombies or not, there’s just something hypnotizing about the depiction of grim visages of the apocalypse, showing a place where humans no longer reside. Typically you’ll find these stray images all over the web (hell, I even have a gallery of them) but the good news is that you don’t have to travel far if you want to see the real thing. Case and point … this is an article I found over at digg.com today which depicts eight different amusement parks that still exist in their rotted abandoned form today. Yes, that’s right. Just think … if you live near one of these rusting hulks, you will not have to pay for a ticket to ride the rollercoaster. You can ride it for … Read entire article »

I’m sure a lot of you out there have thought at length on how to survive in the inevitable zombie apocalypse (shoutout to Cory), but have you put much thought into surviving a plain old by the numbers apocalypse? Well some writer over at the Huffington Post recently pointed his thoughts in such a direction and he basically concludes you’d need guns, guns, and more guns and maybe a Ghillie suit for kicks. Let me start by saying that this article is being pure peanut butter and fluff as you tell by the opening of the article: … Read entire article »

Have you ever wondered what to give your children after the world burns down to the ground and you are trapped in a post-apocalyptic nightmare whereby every day is a titanic struggle between life and death? Have you ever thought what you would give your kid during such a crisis that can match the twisted outlook of your new world? How about a teddy bear from hell? Just looking at these images makes me want to call my shrink on speed dial. The bears look like tiny smoldering demons who would like nothing more than to douse you gasoline so you can join the party. If I had one of these things in my room, I think I would cry myself to sleep every night. … Read entire article »

Here’s an interesting article hosted by the site, BuzzFeed that makes wonder why you might long for a zombie apocalypse, when you can can have a good old fashioned nuclear one. Besides providing warm cozy gusts of nuclear fallout, followed by the chill of a nuclear winter, you can be sure that a nuclear disasters would be a fun filled experience for the entire family. That is, if you consider fun living in either a submarine or underground shelter whereby the only un-irradiated food source might turn out to be your own family. … Read entire article »

On a lazy Saturday with a bright blue sky, Alex Hoban decided to spend his day crawling through the derelict remains of an abandoned Japanese theme park, and my oh my, are his pictures cool. There’s something fascinating about seeing our monuments and treasures in ruin that keep me coming back. I don’t know what it is. This feeling is double downed when theme parks come to mind. … Read entire article »

I don’t know how I managed to stumble into this really cool clip, but when I did, I kind of watched, head tilted to the side with my tongue sticking. It simply hypnotized me as I watched a city construct itself before my eyes. Granted there isn’t one thing about this clip that really sticks out to me, but its more like the combined use of the new media. … Read entire article »

The big difference from a zombie apocalypse and some regular old plague apocalypse is that at least with the undead, you’ll never be alone. Granted, this may not be very comforting seeing as how the undead will wish to pull your arms and legs from their sockets and then eat them, but at least you’ll never be “alone” unlike your typical apocalypse. Think about it for a second. When a plague wipes out everyone but you, our grand magnificent cities will be like a tomb, stifling and oppressive. All the things that you love about New York City or Boston will be the very things that will suffocate you in your new solitary life. Speaking as someone who has watched his college gone from a wonderful center … Read entire article »

How many movies have we seen where survivors are trapped in a boarded up house while the undead pound their meaty hands against the plywood blocking the windows? How many times have one of the survivors been bitten only to cue the tell tale ominous music that indicates a quick end may be coming for the stricken survivor. Now imagine this … You are at work, doing what you do when you look out the window to see dead men and women walking down the road. No Problem. You board up the house, arm the shotgun, and wait for the first horde to arrive. Instead, your best friend shows up at your door with a bloody arm. According to movie logic, you should shoot your friend … Read entire article »

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! With this lazy Sunday dedicated to both love and romance, I thought I might transport you out of your comfortable homes and into the near future when our cities are in flames and the dead walk the earth. It’s a scary thought to be moving between abandoned houses while searching for food, ammo, and just maybe a safe place to sleep for the night. Once the fear has past and you have acclimated to the horror the situation, you might just fee the need for company. I’m not talking on a sexual nature, but rather, a nice candlelight dinner in a boarded up house. Or maybe you’d like to watch the stars through the burning plumes of smoke from burning cities. Or … Read entire article »
