Zombie InvasionWhen I think of Zombies, I often think about that old Dorito's marketing slogan - 'Crunch all you want. We'll make more!'. Which is exactly why the skull biting and cranium sucking undead have always been at the top of the list when Hollywood, pulp horror writers and fans are looking for a never ending supply of bad guys to run undaunted into a hail of bullets or walls of flailing baseball bats, swords, axes and chainsaws.

The latest offering of restless undead set to splatter all over movie screens October 9th is Zombieland. From the trailer (see below), it looks like it's going to be a very entertaining grim comedy starring Woody Harrelson. The mix of laughs and gore was a real success with zombie movie geeks with Shawn Of The Dead. One of my favorite good time films.

So why are the ravenous re-animated dead so much fun?

It never seems to matter how many of the tenacious highly motivated rotting things you kill, there numbers never get depleted. There always seems to be a supply of humans that do stupid things to secure their spot among the undead horde as a freshly risen zombies.

You can kill plenty of them and never feel bad about it. You can't kill something that is already dead - but you sure can get great hang time on the body parts from the improvised explosions, high speed impacts or the proper application of a chainsaw. It's not like zombies are the brightest of bad guys either. They won't understand anything that has 'Front Toward Enemy' printed on it.

Zombies make for some of the coolest artwork!

The constant threat of a zombie attack has given some weapon smiths the inspiration to forge some of the most wicked purpose made blades ever at ZombieTools.net.
