Could a Zombie Apocalypse Really Happen??

According to the science laid out in the above video, yes a zombie apocalypse is totally plausible...given the right kind of virus that is.  However, it will more than likely involve the "rage" style zombies seen in 28 Days Later...meaning, we're totally screwed.

Nerd Art: Zombie Ewok

Artist Austin Madison came up with this piece, entitled "The Ewoking Dead".  As gruesome as it is, I actually like how the artwork closely resembles the art of The Walking Dead comic series.

But in all "actuality", Ewoks don't really need to be zombies to eat people.  They were going to make a feast out of Luke, Han and Chewbacca.  And if you follow the tweets of the Death Star PR team, then you should already know how vicious these little guys can be.

You can check out a larger version by clicking on the image above.

Stay nerdy my friends...

SFX Reel From The Walking Dead

The Walking Dead is one of my favorite shows on TV right now.  I love the realism that AMC is able to achieve when dealing with something as outlandish as a zombie-apocalypse.  Turns out, however, much of that realism is realized through CGI.

AMC has released the above video which shows a breakdown of some of the special effects the series utilizes.  As it turns out, SFX play a much larger role in producing the show and its pretty shocking to find out what is actually real and is not.

After viewing, what special effects are you most surprised by?  let me know what you think in the comments below.

Two New TV Spots for the The Walking Dead Mid-Series Return

Two new television spots have popped up online for the mid-series return of The Walking Dead, which premiers Sunday, February 12th, 9/8c.

Each spot shows a ton of new footage and by the looks of it, the second half of season two will undoubtedly bring all the zombie action some fans have been asking for.

A description of the upcoming episode, entitled 'Nebraska', has also made it's way online:

After the barn incident, there is much conflict among both groups of survivors, Hershel wants Rick and his group to leave immediately and Shane accuses Rick to be just as delusional as Hershel saying that Hershel knew about Sophia the whole time and hid her from the group. Dale tells Andrea to be careful about her relationship with Shane since Dale knows what kind of person Shane is and now wants him gone from the group. He also reveals this to Lori, including the fate of Otis.

You can check out the TV spots below.  What do you think?  Are you getting excited for the second half of the series?  Let me know in the comments below.

Assault Rifle with Chainsaw Bayonet is Made for Zombie Killin'

If you liked the Slingshot Zombiehammer I posted about earlier this month, you'll love the DoubleStar Zombie-X AK-47, aka, The assault rifle with a chainsaw.

Now while not as stealth as the Zombiehammer, the Zombie-X should help you get out of those jams when you find yourself surrounded by a swarm of ravenous, blood-thirsty corpses:

The DoubleStar Zombie-X AK-47 is a weapon specially customized to battle zombie hordes by attaching a battery-charged chainsaw to the end of the barrel, as well as a EOTech Zombie Stopper XPS2-Z Holographic Sight which puts a biohazard symbol on your target instead of the classic red dot. DoubleStar hasn't announced when or if this will go on sale, but its less fancy DSC Zombie Slayer predecessor sells for $1,249.99, so the Zombie-X is likely to be a bit pricier.

Be sure to check out a quick demo/rundown of the gun after the break.

If your like me, you probably roll your eyes a little when you see those goofy family stickers in the rear window of people's cars.  However, every once and awhile you see a set of really cool ones.

Ultimate Zombie Killing Weapon

A few days ago, YouTuber JoergSprave posted a new video to his "The Slingshot Channel", showcasing his latest creation, the Slingshot Zombiehammer with Skull Ejector.

After watching this video, it's clear that this is probably the ideal weapon to have at your sign in the event of the coming zombiepocalypse as guns rely on specific ammunition and are just way too noisy, most likely attracting more walkers.

The weapon features a 15cm steal spike along with a "smasher" side made from a large steel ball.  Turn it upside-down and you have a powerful sling shot...just add rocks.

Be sure to check out his other creations, especially the Slingshot Gatling Gun, at his official YouTube page linked above.
