Combining Zombies and Lego? You couldn’t get much cooler than that, except perhaps when they’re Giant (19″) Lego Zombies.

Let’s hope these go into production.

Inspired by Sean’s xkcd post, here’s are some links to another webcomic, Bunny, that has featured zombies in the past.

The image above is a detail of Always Prepared for the Zombie Invasion. There is also the earlier Bun of the Dead.

Whats this? (I hear you ask) a webcomic? Well, its our goal to document all zombie sightings and this includes the occasional drawn corpse.

xkcd is a humorous comic about life, the universe, everything and today - Zombies.

I seriously recommend you take a look and go though the xkcd archives and make sure you read the mouseover text!

So, the other day, Frog and myself got our hands on Black Sheep.

Black Sheep is a horror/comedy film directed and written by Jonathan King. This is his first film.

In Black Sheep a genetically engineered virus is released when a couple of hippies liberate a test sheep from an animal testing lab in New Zealand. These released sheep just happen to be carrying a virus which turns sheep into murderous carnivores, and men into half-men half-sheep monsters.

The film follows a group of people trying to escape from the hordes of vicious sheep.

I know what you’re thinking. “What? These sheep do not sound like Zombies? Plus, they are sheep! HOW DARE YOU?” and I understand, but this movie is getting an honorable mention because it parody’s a large number of stereotypical zombie movie scenes and we liked it.

So what did we think about Black Sheep?

Does the plot sound familiar? It should… I can’t find much about the writers intention for this film, but after watching it, it feels like this movie is written as a parody of the movie 28 days/weeks later. I write “feels” because the parody angle is not covered beyond a similarity in the plot, and the fact that sheep have been substitued for humans. I also noticed that this film is written in a similar style to Peter Jackson’s early films such as Bad Taste and Braindead.

In my opinion what has resulted is a film with ample gore, action sequences, survival suspense and the best transformation sequences that i have seen in a long time. The film is light on obvious humor and instead relies on the out-of-place humor in the sheep for terrifying zombie substitution, which works very well.

Unfortunately the film is let down by a weak ending, which came as a terrible disappointment considering the quality of the rest of the movie.

It is my recommendation that you don’t miss this film as i enjoyed it a whole lot.

I came into Black Sheep not knowing too much about it except that it contained killer sheep and ample gore. And really, sometimes I don’t need much more than that to kill an afternoon.

Maybe because of these lowered expectations I enjoyed Black Sheep a great deal. While a little lighter on the comedy than I had expected, the scenes panning across New Zealand’s green country side past a sheep with its head buried in the remains of one of its victims can’t help but be funny.

Black Sheep gets a big thumbs up from me for having what I would call possibly some of the best transformation scenes since An American Werewolf in London. This thumbs up, though, is mostly canceled out by the final five minutes of the film that play like a tacked on happy ending. Even so, I do not hesitate to recommend Black Sheep to anybody who enjoys a fun twist on an old genre.

Zombies are terrifying, there is no denying that, but do they also Rock Out?

Jonathan Coulton seems to think so, and illustrates this point with his song Re: Your Brains.

“Re: Your Brains” plays out a fictional conversation between your average middle management type person, and a previous co-worker who is now a zombie. The Zombie is negotiating a settlement for eating the survivors.

Here is a video-clip which has Jonathan Coulton’s song played out using The Forsaken in World of Warcraft.

On a different note, Songs to wear pants to wrote a song regarding the best and indeed only way to deal with zombies.

Here is a video clip with the mentioned music with clips from the show Supernatural.

It should be mentioned that neither of these songs are especially recent, however both are good.

It should also be mentioned that the creatures in the Supernatural video clip are not zombies. In fact, in the three seasons of the show they have vanquished exactly one Zombie.

It is still, in my opinion, the only video clip which does the song “Shoot the Zombies” justice.

The 2007 Zombie roundup is taking longer than expected, but while we wait for costumed zombies to check their Internet messages - Max Brooks (author of The Zombie Survival Guide) brought relevant information to the attention of the people at archeology.org regarding the earliest recorded zombie attack in history.

Max Brookes maintains that the earliest evidence of zombie attack was discovered at a British dig at Hierakonpolis, in 1892. At this dig a tomb was discovered containing a partially decomposed body and thousands of scratch marks on every surface of the tomb. This lead dig conductors to the conclusion that the corpse had been trying to escape from the oppressive tomb to greener pastures (or brains).

The full article can be found here and also contains information on a Zombie Outbreak Contingency Plan which has been put in place if the worst should happen.

Archeology.org also did an interview with Max Brookes regarding the Archeology of the Undead. This can be found here and also contains a time-line of Known Prehistoric and Historic Zombie outbreaks.

This bit of information was brought to our attention by Cameron and kronicd

Halloween 2007 has come and gone. But we are here to ensure that the Zombies of the past are not forgotten, but immortalized for future generations to enjoy. (Even though they are dead and are already pretty immortalized.. and i can’t see how future generations would enjoy them if they were actually in the room)

To this end we have decided to try to document the zombies which emerged this past Halloween.

To complete this task, we have chosen flickr. (flickr is the most predominantly used photo sharing community at the moment and had the most pictures of zombies from the relevant time period)

A group has been created here called The 2007 Halloween Zombie Roundup. We are currently in the process of contacting those people with zombies within their photosets.

If you witnessed a zombie this Halloween and managed snapped a photo, upload it to flicker and join the group! or send the photo to us and we can upload it for you.

Send your photos with a date and caption to zombies@zombiesbite.com
