“It is suspected that each year, millions of dollars in personal property is damaged by hordes of zombies. And yet, regular insurance companies don’t deal with these claims.”

Head on over to My Zombie Insurance and make sure you’re covered when the dead arrive at your back door.

Hello Boils and Ghouls.
Every Christmas I receive gifts from a variety of different movie monsters. Last year Freddy sent me his Nike sneakers and this year I’d like to share my gift from HAL 9000.

I awoke early Christmas morning and quickly ran down to my crypt (where I put my blood-soaked Christmas tree). Under my tree was HAL’s gift, a box wrapped in black wrapping paper, resembling an obelisk. After opening said box, I was delighted to find my very own t-shirt based upon 2001: A Space Odyssey. Printed on the shirt are the instructions for the Zero Gravity Toilet.

In the Kubrick classic, one of the characters is seen studying a large list of instructions in order to use the toilet. When you gotta go, you gotta go and you don’t have time to stop and think about it. But in space, you have to be much more careful. You wouldn’t want to miss and have fecal matter floating around the cabin.

You can pick one of these cool t-shirts up at Tarfly.com

Thanks HAL!

Finally, we have our third and final Friday the 13th of 2009. Looking for something to celebrate this unlucky Friday? Let me suggest picking up the Friday the 13th part 3 soundtrack. It’s out of print, but there are plenty of places you can buy and or download it. Nothing. Nothing is as cool as Disco Jason.

happy happy happy happy HALLOWEEN!!! I hope your costumes came out great. Have fun tonight!

Sadly, I didn’t have much time to carve my pumpkin this year. I’ve been quite busy lately, restoring old caskets from ancient, underground crypts. I also had no idea what I was going to carve. So I  ran out to the local farm and grabbed the best pumpkin I could find. I came home, put on Creepshow and quickly brainstormed on what my Jack-O-Lantern should be.  When you’re short on pumpkin-carving time, do what I do; choose a famous horror icon. This year I went with an old friend from Crystal Lake. His name was Jason.

A friend of mine gave me this football card and I couldn’t believe who was on it! Michael Myers! I had no idea he enjoyed tossing around the ol’ pigskin with the boys. I knew he liked killing pretty women, mysteriously disappearing after being shot multiple times and that his favorite day was October 31st. But football? I guess you really do learn something new everyday. Damn shame he didn’t play for the Haddonfield Boogeymen.

Myers lead the Crimson Tide in sacks as well as tackles behind the line of scrimmage in 1996.

For those of you living on the east coast and/or near New Jersey better have your calendar free this Saturday.  The 3rd Annual Zombie Walk will take place on October 3rd in Asbury Park, NJ. So head on down to the Jersey shore in your ripped clothes and the best zombie makeup you can come up with. Don’t forget the blood.

How do you feel about this Blob Fish? Would you keep it as a pet? Would you bring it to 6 Flags with you? Would you teach it to recite Arnold Schwarzenegger quotes? Discuss.

“In Night of the Living Dead, zombies are brought back from the dead by a “mysterious force” that allows their brains to continue functioning. But how exactly does a zombie brain function? Finally, a Harvard psychiatrist has the answers.

Through education Dr. Steven C. Schlozman is an assistant professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and a lecturer at the Harvard School of Education. He is also an avid sci-fi and horror fan – and, apparently, the world’s leading authority on the neurobiology of the living dead. He has even drafted a fake medical journal article on the zombie plague, which he calls Ataxic Neurodegenerative Satiety Deficiency Syndrome, or ANSD (the article has five authors: one living, three “deceased” and one “humanoid infected”).”
