Død snø...A Nazi Zombie Extravaganza...

Dead Snow, a movie that must have been made by zombies!!!

Somewhere in Norway, eight medical students go to a cabin in the mountains for the weekend...

A freaky living dude tells a creepy story of terror & hate....

Greed & alcohol make the living act badly....

The smartest & most agile zombies i have ever seen feast...

Funny at times & worth watching
There are some seriously disturbing scenes in this film...

HangingTree Review

Dead Snow or Død snø as they called it originally is a intriguing zombie movie including all our favorite ingredients in a zombie movie.
A good plot with disturbing twists, Lots of gore, Hot girls, and Nazis.

The plot line followed a group of med students on Easter break going into a cabin in the woods for a quick vacation with very "R Rated" plans.
Once reaching their cabin they are confronted by a scary old man who tells them a captivating story about the surrounding areas history.

Being hooligan college students as they are, they blatantly ignore his warning.
The movie itself is filled with great battle scenes and good plot with many twists that in a disturbed way make sense.
One of the main differences in this movie from other zombie films is the zombies.

The Nazis are extremely skilled and have the ability to fight and wield weapons as if they were living.
The makeup is not too shabby and the way the zombies feast is certainly "Blood-filled and satisfying".

All in all a good film and definitely worth watching.
The death scenes in this movie were incredible!

My Zombie Killing Shirt???

I saw the title & I thought about a shirt that could kill zombies...

Was it a classic 60's paisley shirt that made zombie heads explode or maybe a terrible, disco funk day-glo shirt.

Of course I was nervous to even watch this zombie video as i have never heard of such a shirt & i certainly don't want my head to explode.

So - i ask the loyal ZT hoard....
Watch the video, then let us & the director know what you think!

Stag Night of the Dead - The Movie

A British Bachelor party?
A new game for the living?
A secret military base?
A stripper?

All this still could not save the film.
A classic, low budget, B roll zombie flick.

We join a group of guys & a stripper who go to a private military base to play a game of zomball.
A game in which the living zap zombies with electrical guns & does not include any type of ball.
Maybe it is a ball to play?
Maybe an homage to the Production company?

After a series of ridiculous events and even more ridiculous plot twists which include forbidden zombie love, 
we come to the final 30 minutes.
The same last 30 minutes of every zombie movie on the planet that has survivors......
RUN!!!!

As a former entertainment industry professional,
i have to state that the over dubbed lines sometimes remind me of a bad kung fu movie & the post production can sometimes make you sick because of quick cut edits & choppy scene changes.

Having said that - i was impressed by the quality of the low budget SFX and the shear amount of variety in zombies

You should give this movie a try because it could be amusing to a hardcore zombie film enthusiast, but if you are a once in a while zombie flick watcher, you might want to pick something else..
Decide for yourself.

Seattle Zombie Specialist!!!




Over the past 4 decades, fans of zombie culture have always wondered what they would look like if they were a member of the zombie horde. "Undead-Head Caricatures" by Over The Line Productions, LLC can make that dream (or nightmare) a reality! Over The Line Productions, LLC is a local caricature retail/entertainment business based out of Seattle, WA. The owners, Nolan Harris and Dexter Rothchild have always been fans of the zombie culture and decided to merge their 2 loves of zombies and caricatures into a gruesome match made in undead heaven.

This idea is nothing new. Artists have been rendering people as zombies for decades. What makes Over The Line's interpretation unique, is that they can make the experience fun and interactive in a live environment. Nolan and Dexter started drawing Undead-Heads at the inaugural ZomBcon in 2010. The concept was such a hit, the duo expanded to the world famous Fremont Zombie Walk in July and returned to last year's ZomBcon in 2011.
The concept is very simple--you sit down or send detailed photos of yourself, and the artists exaggerate your features and add whatever gory details you desire! Nolan and Dex DO NOT discriminate. If you have pets, they would be more than happy to zombify them as well.

If you are interested in getting drawn as an Undead-Head, Over The Line will be drawing at this year's Red, White and Dead Zombie Walk on July 7th, in Fremont. Nolan and Dexter also take commissions via their website, otlart.com and their facebook fan page, facebook.com/overthelineproductions. They can also be contacted directly via email at artmarkit@gmail.com or you can call 206.925.DRAW

Google + Launch

When we launched our Google + page....
Ima Zombie dropped into a hang out with Byron Rempel and his 1000 Zombies Project.

It was certainly fun to watch Byron draw zombies live on the web and James Ehni from PA is getting a special package in the mail from Zombies & Toys.




Of course, Ima Zombie is also a mail artist...
So a custom Artist Trading Card & custom envelope had to be made ...




Thanks James for joining our Zombie Hoard circle .....

Zombies, RUN! - Android App Review

Ash "Ima Zombie" El-Masry








It is cold out....
A slight mist with heavy wet flakes of snow are falling in Seattle...
I must get to my local hardware store and get a new shovel, maybe an axe...

ZOMBIES, RUN! has a couple different options for game play, Multi-player Mode and a Solo mode.

The multiplayer mode opens up your phones browser & provides a link to begin a private game.
I am asked to sign into my Google account and grant permission
a notice that a GPS fix is attempting but nothing ever happens so i exited browser & tried again.
Still nothing, bummer....

The Solo mode has some options for game-play like what kind of outbreak is happening & how fast your zombies can move.

The easiest setting available is the "Controlled outbreak" @ 2mph.
A Google type map opens & I try to choose my location with an overly sensitive map.
The map sensitivity presents problems throughout the game play experience.
Once your destination is chosen - the game begins.
Zombies move toward me at a snails pace but, I must adjust my path to reach my final location.
The hardware store is relatively easy to reach

The next outbreak is an Early Local and i choose 5mph...
I bump up the speed because I probably could have stopped for a picnic and still not become lunch myself at 2mph
Choose a destination and twice as many zombies appear
I might need to do some joging in certain places to circumvent the zombies
I manage to make it back home with-out a scratch.

The third option for your outbreak is the Late Local and I think I will keep 5 mph.
Back to the hardware store for my destination & YIKES there are a lot of zombies & they are coming towards me, quickly
I certainly have to do much more maneuvering to get away and my phone begins to vibrate as the zombies get to close...
Whoops ... I just became lunch

The last outbreak available is the Total Pandemic & I turn the speed down to 2mph
Turning the speed down helps but I am still gonna have to run back home from the hardware store...
I am surprised at just how close to the zombies I can actually get. There are a few just across the street from me.
I can see the hardware store....
no...NOOOOO - OPEN THE DOOR.....
AAAHHHhhhhhh .....

Turn the speed up past 5mph & you might as well just cover yourself in mayo & lay down because you are lunch!

Overall, the game was fun and I could see how it may be good for a runner BUT, I wouldn't suggest trying to run & watch your phone for zombies at the same time.
In fact, just walking & watching zombies, I realized I was paying no attention to the street in which I was walking.

This is a battery heavy game which can be glitchy at times, causing the phone to periodically lock-up and requiring a total phone shut down.

The app did get 4 of 5 stars on the android market but i think I personally would only give it 3 due to some usability issues & the boredom factor, I am not personally inclined to play it again.

Get ZOMBIES, RUN! free from the Android Market...
