Halloween Zombie Attack

I know I'm not the only one who is watching the Walking Dead right now.  So far, the 2nd season is phenomenal.  Zombies are such a cultural phenomenon at the moment that I have zombie dreams.  Guess what?  I kick serious zombie butt.

Here's my top 10 fav zombie films and shows:

28 Days Later- Absolutely frightening- the people and the zombies!

Zombieland- Awesomely fun & screamtastic.  

Dawn of the Dead (2004)- This is the movie that got me into zombies.  And I love Sarah Polley.  

Night of the Living Dead (1968)- I still jump up and down during parts.  

The Dollhouse- this show gave me the most zombie nightmares.  I freaking loved it.  

The Walking Dead- I get so nervous while watching this show that I need a stiff drink to get through it.   

Shaun of the Dead- I laughed, I jumped up and down and yelled at the characters.  Good fun.  

Pet Cemetery- Not as good as the book, but still well done.  

Resident Evil: The Afterlife- Milla Jovovich kicks so much arse in this movie.  And it was surprisingly good.  I liked (but fell asleep during) the first Resident Evil.  This is the only other film I've seen out of the lot, but I highly recommend.  

Planet Terror- Rose McGowan and Robert Rodriguez equals awesomeness.  I really regret not seeing the Grindhouse movies (Planet Terror & Death Proof) back to back, because they were probably the best films to come out that year.  I'm a big fan of both and loved McGowan in this.

Romero's Night of the Living (1968) is the first zombie movie I recall watching.  A huge fan of more modern horror movies as a teenager, I don't remember thinking this classic was scary or entertaining.  Not until Dawn of the Dead came out in 2004 was I bit by the zombie bug.  A great film- never saw the original, but this one had me jumping up and down on the edge of the couch.
Quite a few memorable zombie films have come out that have stood out in the horror genre in the last 10 years: Shaun of the Dead, 28 Days Later (somewhat zombie-esque), I Am Legend (am I the only one who likes this movie?) and Resident Evil (I fell asleep during this one, but liked what I saw).  Rediscovering Sega's Zombies Ate My Neighbors and the very fun Bag O' Zombies Glow in the Dark made us recognize something a few years ago- zombies are IT.
Swept up by the zombie craze, Joe started taking pics of zombie figures and designed an 8-Bit zombie stamp.  Being a fan of stamping, I've utilized his stamp to create unique journals, cards, and post cards.  Zombies have survived the decade and are still going strong- looks like they are here to stay.  There are some really cool zombie related items on Etsy, but this one is my fav so far:  It's a really great print of a zombie-inspired painting: http://www.etsy.com/listing/47565406/zombie-portrait-procession-living-dead

Here is a moleskine journal that Joe stamped, which is listed on Etsy.  So much fun!
