The Max Brooks books are on my "look for at 1/2 price books" list because I'm cheap and spend too much on books as it is. There's a movie in the works with a script by J. Michael Straczynski of Babylon 5 fame.

David Wellington has writter a trilogy of zombie novels that you can read on his website, http://www.brokentype.com/planet/ or you can buy them in a bookstore near you.
I just bought the Wellington books but I haven't opened them yet. I'm thinking of taking them back since I can read them online for nothing.

Tom Savini rocks. His work on the NOLD remake is great.

I'm not worried. The kid has it all worked out to the last detail. I'll just follow instructions, wield a baseball bat, whatever.

ps: I asked Gabe if zombies can run. He says:

"No. They can stumble fast, but they can't run. You see, they could try to run, but the condition of their muscles wouldn't allow it, so they can't."

I'm still looking for Harry Belafonte's rendition of Zombie Jamboree, but here's a good toon:

But as we';ve seen in countless zombie movies, a zombie can rise within seconds of the human host dying, so their muscles could be in top-top condition.

What we need is to zombify a few Olympic 100m sprinters, and send them after Gabe.

Emm, make sure you have a camera ready to catch the look on his face right before he gets chomped.

Good point. I'll run that by him. He'll have a response, don't worry.

Always travel with a spare. Make sure you keep somebody around that you don't really need. That way, if the zombies come, you can simply shoot him in the leg and escape while they stop to chew him to shreds.

I'm glad to see this thread has kept alive. I didn't realize there were so many zombie fans here.

The video clips are hilarious.

Emm - I'm glad your son agrees with the run/not run assessment.

I love the little documentary on the "Land of the Dead" DVD showing Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright (from "Shaun of the Dead") flying to Canada to do a cameo and meet George Romero. I didn't recognize them when I first saw the movie.

Oh, also forgot, I've been reading <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Walking_Dead">The Walking Dead</a> as the collections come out, depressing as hell.
