Jim Vorel at Paste came up with his list of The 50 Best Zombie Movies of All Time. Vorel’s list is a good one. Here’s his top ten and mine (using just the films on his list).

Deep Silence by Jonathan Maberry
Hardcover: 480 pages
Publisher: St. Martin’s Griffin
First sentence…
“We’re coming up on it,” said the pilot.
The Overview: Beware of Spoilers…
A series of earthquakes rock the eastern seaboard and are accompanied by outbreaks of temporary madness causing people to attack each other or commit suicide. Joe Ledger and his team soon learn that terrorists using advanced technology are behind the strikes. The terrorist have plans that will leave the United States and much of the world helpless unless they can be stopped and the clock is ticking!
Maberry’s latest outing for the DMS team is perhaps their toughest yet and will lead to the end of the Joe Ledger series as we know it. As you can imagine, series regulars (who survive) will be forever changed.
Deep Silence is another great Joe Ledger tale and like all of the others in the series is highly recommended.
Rating: 5 of 5 stars.

The Doctor Sleep trailer is here. It definitely has me interested in the movie and the novel as well.

What We Do in the Shadows is a FX tv series based on the movie of the same name. The premise is that a documentary crew is following four vampires who share a house together. The movie was surprisingly good and the tv does a great job of meeting that standard. Today we have a video that takes us behind-the-scenes.

The Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark poster and trailer are here!
From the dark imaginations of Academy Award®-winner Guillermo del Toro and acclaimed director André Øvredal, based on the iconic book series, comes Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark — in theaters this summer.
It’s 1968 in America. Change is blowing in the wind…but seemingly far removed from the unrest in the cities is the small town of Mill Valley where for generations, the shadow of the Bellows family has loomed large. It is in their mansion on the edge of town that Sarah, a young girl with horrible secrets, turned her tortured life into a series of scary stories, written in a book that has transcended time—stories that have a way of becoming all too real for a group of teenagers who discover Sarah’s terrifying home.

The 47 Meters Down: Uncaged poster and trailer are here. Stallone fans should note that Sistine Stallone is one of the stars of the movie.
I really like Liam Sharp’s The Lycan shown above. You can see much larger versions (pen & ink plus the color) at Comics (Most of the Time).

If you’ve never watched Fear the Walking Dead or if you did watch it but gave up on it, please consider giving it a(nother) go. The cast has changed as has the focus. I’ve really enjoyed the new direction.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look!

Here’s a trailer for Evil. The trailer is good. I hope the series holds up.

Jonathan Maberry’s V-Wars is being adapted into a Netflix series starting this fall. V-Wars concerns humans facing a potential apocalypse not of zombies but of vampires!
As a companion piece and direct tie-in to the V-Wars series, creator Maberry and IDW Publishing are teaming up once more for a fanged foray into this horrific universe with the V-Wars: God of Death one-shot coming to comic shops May 29.
If this sounds like something you’d like SyfyWire has an advanced look: EXCLUSIVE: THE VAMPIRE APOCALYPSE GETS REAL IN IDW’S V-WARS: GOD OF DEATH.

When you talk Dracula, the first name that comes to mind for me is Bela Lugosi. It’s interesting that Bela played Dracula on Broadway four years before making the classic movie. Above is a rare photo from Bela’s Broadway run as the Count.

The Evil trailer is here…
From Robert and Michelle King, the creators of The Good Wife and The Good Fight, comes Evil, a psychological mystery that examines science vs. religion and the origins of evil. Watch this sneak peek now! Evil stars Katja Herbers, Mike Colter, Aasif Mandvi, Michael Emerson, Brooklyn Shuck, Skyler Gray, Maddy Crocco and Dayla Knapp. Evil is coming soon to CBS and CBS All Access.

The Umbrella Factory is an award-winning animated short that reminds me of something O. Henry (or Papa Stas) would have written. Check it out and see if you don’t agree!
