This fan-made teaser made to promote the new season of The Walking Dead is really, really well done.

Rob Zombie for… Woolite
Rob Zombie may have been at the bottom of your list of appropriate director’s for a Woolite commercial, but after seeing what he did, you may change your opinion. I know I did. Well played, Mr. Zombie.
Get a Jump on Next Year’s Zombies
Although we’re not even half way through 2011, you can now pre-order a 2012 Walking Dead calendar! What zombie-lovin’ fan wouldn’t want one or two?
The Goon: Wicked Inclinations, 2nd Edition
September 2011 looks to be a great month for comics coming from Dark Horse. My favorite Dark Horse cover, in a month full of cool covers, goes to Eric Powell for his iconic The Goon Volume 5: Wicked Inclinations 2nd Edition TPB.
In a Zombie-Apocalypse: I Will be Your Father Figure
Did you ever wonder how well you’d survive if the world fell to a zombie-apocalypse? Now you can find out thanks to the folks behind AMC’s The Walking Dead website. I took The Walking Dead – Survival Test and my survival skills rated me as a…
FATHER FIGURE
- You’ve got the life experience, and your gentle manner, compassion and wisdom attracts others, making you the nucleus of your group. That’s just fine because you need people as much as they need you.
- You’ve lost a lot [both before the apocalypse and after], and a sense of community helps ease your depression and gives you purpose.
Vincent Price: 100 for his 100th
On Friday, May 27, 2011, if he was still alive, Vincent Price would have celebrated his 100th birthday. Zach Bellissimo decided to honor the milestone by creating 100 Vincent Price drawings of the horror legend in the roles that made him famous. What a cool idea!
Well done, Zach. I’m sure Vincent Price would have gotten a kick out of them!
Take Shelter
Have you seen the very creepy [and very well done] trailer to Take Shelter? The fact that the images from Joplin are still fresh in mind only add to the spookiness.
Criminal Macbre/The Goon: When Freaks Collide
That’s Fiona Staples’ cover to Criminal Macbre/The Goon: When Freaks Collide. This one shot comic looks to be a winner. Fans of Steve Niles’ Cal MacDonald stories [both prose and graphic] and Eric Powell’s The Goon comics will want to order a copy of Criminal Macbre/The Goon: When Freaks Collide since it features both characters in a story where…
Criminal Macbre/The Goon: When Freaks Collide is cowritten by Steve Niles and Eric Powell with art by Christopher Mitten. In addition to Fiona Staples’ cover, there will be a variant cover by Eric Powell. This bad boy is going to fly off the shelves so get your order in early if you want a copy!
Niles & Wrightson Bring Frankenstein to Life Again!
Bleeding Cool scored an advance look at Steve [30 Days of Night] Niles and Bernie [Swamp Thing] Wrightson’s Frankenstein, Alive, Alive!
Bernie Wrightson drawing Frankenstein is reason enough to give the book a look… adding in Steve Niles makes it a gotta pre-order item.
Fright Night Too
That’s the poster for the remake of “Fright Night.” It kind of works. I wish the large face in the background was more menacing, but it still ain’t bad. If you’d like to see a slightly bigger version, you can over at IMPAwards.
Here’s the official trailer. When I heard that Colin Farrell had signed on to play the vampire, I thought he was an odd choice. Now, I think he may be the best part of the movie. I’m a fan of the original film, and will give this one a shot.
The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor
On September 27, 2011, the first prose Walking Dead novel, The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor will be available. You can actually pre-order it now through Amazon.com. I did. Of course I am a major fan of the comic and tv series.
What’s that? You are too? Then what are you waiting for?
Stake Land
Drive-ins may have gone the way of VHS tape, but drive-in movies keep getting made. I’d love to see “Stake Land” as part of a horror triple feature at a local drive-in. Guess I’ll just have to wait for Netflix.
The great news is you don’t have to wait if you want to see a drive-in screen-sized version of the poster thanks to the fine folks at IMPAwards.com.
Stephen King May Join The Walking Dead
Here’s a match made in, uh, heaven… Stephen King has confirmed to EW.com that he is in talks to script an episode of AMC’s hit series The Walking Dead. Man, I would love to see that happen. King and The Walking Dead’s executive producer, Frank Darabont, have a history of working together to create top notch entertainment [The Shawshank Redemption and The Mist] so odds are this will all work out. I, for one, couldn’t be happier.
Undead Clients & a Zombie Partner? What Up, Dog?
Dylan Dog looks like it might make for a fun evening. Dylan Dog first appeared as an Italian comic book series. Dark Horse Comics publishes it in the US. Oh, and if you’d like to see a monster-sized version of the poster, you can thanks to the good folks at IMPAwards.
