About a year ago, we told you about the teaser for the next installment of the Spanish-made zombie series, [●REC]. Finally, we have a full-length trailer found here courtesy of DreadCentral.


Rec 4: Apocalypse - International Trailer by dreadcentral

Synopsis: 
Angela Vidal (Manuela Velasco), the young television reporter who first entered the building with the firemen, manages to make it out alive. But what the soldiers don't know is that she carries the seed of the strange infection. She is to be taken to a provisional quarantine facility, a high-security installation where she will have to stay in isolation for several days. An old oil tanker, miles off shore and surrounded by water on all sides, has been especially equipped for the quarantine.

Apocalypse is set to be the very last installment in the [●REC] series. It's directed by the series co-creator Jaume Balagero and is scheduled for release on October 31, 2014.

A Major Victory: Thanks to the Undead !!

Matt Boiselle

    There are times in life when one MUST stand up for what they believe in, and I am all for freedom of speech, but when that freedom is abused to the point of being offensive and hateful, the action needs to be halted immediately....but who would think that the ones to halt such actions are the ones that are already dead ?

    Everybody's favorite (sarcasm) psychotic redneck outspoken group of uneducated "free-thinkers" - The Westboro Baptist Church, had planned to protest outside of Joint Base-Lewis McChord, a military base South of Seattle, and 27 year old zombie fanatic Melissa Neace had decided that enough was indeed enough. She singlehandedly spearheaded a Facebook-page -inspired protest blocking group called "Zombie'ing Westboro Baptist Church AWAY From Fort Lewis !".....and believe me when I tell you....when zombies speak, the word gets around ! Close to 300 undead counter-protesters showed up en-force to completely swarm a small and useless group of 8 Westboro voices....needless to say, the picketers were silenced quite quickly.

   I say we gather up all 300 or so names of these "zombies" and give them not only a HUGE pat on the back and owe them a large debt of gratitude, but when the apocalypse finally does envelop us all, we should return the favor and redirect them to visit our "friends" at Westboro Baptist Church".

Zombie World Detroit

  Parent  - " Sorry kids we're not going to Disney World this year"
  Kids - " Awwwwwwwwwwwwww"
  Parent - " No - we're going to Zombie World instead !"
  Kids - " Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay !!"

   Detroit enterpreneur Mark Siwak has taken what most zombie fans have daydreamed about and is looking to create a zombie theme park. This act of sheer genius is currently in the planning and fundraising stage.
 
  In a nutshell, Mark hopes to convert a large portion of Detroit's abandoned industrial area into a slice of post-apocalypse zombie America where visitors will pay to experience the apocalypse first hand and have a marvelous time doing it. This will also help to stimulate growth in an area suffering from the economic downturn. You can read more and donate at the link here.

Zombie Apocalypse Survival 101

Matt Boiselle I'm not one to complain, but where the heck were classes like this when I was in school ? There has got to be more than a fair share of our readers that, when you were in either High School, College, or Grad School. were absolutely bored to tears with the curriculum. You know what you need to take to graduate, but just the act of sitting through it made you want to bang your skull off of your desk until you blacked out.

So now we flash forward to May 14th, 2012 on the campus of Michigan State University, where the Dean of students and his faculty fully believe that this generation's students not only need the prerequisites such as math, English, and certain language classes to survive in this cruel world, but a class in survivalism during a zombie apocalypse ? Now that is what I call earning college credits ! MSU's School of Social Work is offering an online class entitled " Surviving the Coming Zombie Apocalypse - Catastrophes and Human Behavior, and this class promises much more than the normal " how do I effectively kill a zombie ?" type of information.

The 7 week course will integrate human behavior and nature change following certain catastrophic circumstances, using both hypothetical and historical implementation, including an all-out simulation of a zombie apocalypse. The course's creator and work instructor, Glenn Stutzky, says that students will work in small groups during the first week of classes and develop ways to survive the undead outbreak, and as the weeks change, so will the varied simulations. Topics like the Black Plague and meteoric strikes upon Planet Earth will force students to change their ways of thinking and apply certain techniques to each corresponding disaster. all of their collective planning will fall into order on the final simulation event, which promises to be a true test of all that they have learned.

Mr. Stutzky and a team from Visual University Design and Tech. are using every available avenue of social media to promote the course. Finally, a course that can truly be applied after graduation........I mean think about it, how many people do you know that have a degree in "communications", but feel the need to use the word "like" in a sentence over and over ?
