Styrofoam Shock
To contact us Click HERE
Been busy with company and trying to get some "honey-do's" caught up this past week so I can start some serious prop building. Yesterday I bought some 2" styrofoam and pink foam board from The Home Depot and I have to say the regular price of 2" has gone way up within just a few cents of the pink foam board which was already ridiculously high. Effect of gas prices? I have to find a new source! Except for a lack of storage I could have gotten free styrofoam last year from a fellow haunter's friend that is in the roofing business. He even had the 4" stuff! Feel kind of stupid now that I didn't get at least a couple sheets... live and learn I guess.

With the recent “Zombie” attack in Florida grabbing the headlines, attention was diverted from another Zombie outbreak on a small UK island off the South Wales coast. A group of stranded survivors were trapped on this Zombie infested island overnight, with many of them falling victim to Zombie attacks-and re-animating shortly after-to swell the numbers of undead. Luckily for us, the Zombie menace was defeated….but for how long?
Dom Spens is totally responsible for trying to initiate the Zombie Apocalypse and is currently planning further outbreaks within the South Wales, UK area. You can visit his website here for more information and you'll also want to join the Facebook group. If you’re in the UK, and fancy a weekend of thrilling live action Zombie mayhem amongst the beautiful South Wales scenery, then you’re more than encouraged to join this friendly group. The next event is planned for the 28 -29 July 2012, and at £20 per person, there’s no excuse not to go.

Enter Adrian Ring.
You think you have had a tough Zombie Apocalypse? Talk to this guy, This story starts out, like any great story, with a nice punch to the face; jarring you awake and making you feel like have lost a few teeth in the process. Adrian has you along in the passenger seat through this journey as he helps everyone that he can out. His tactics are unmatched as he crosses enemies that only the end of the world can breed. He is forced to find the humor in the little things, like zombies stuck in swings, stories from his past, and the throws of new and old loves alike.
This is a fast paced and addicting story with very believable characters and an even better story line. Anyone with a military background will enjoy this documentary of the world coming unraveled. Between the acronyms and the ability to put the reader down range with the weapons at Adrian's disposal, this is a must read. He shows you just how possible it is to feed a certain number of people, while being able to ration out supplies, and how smart it is to have someone on your team with a green thumb. Be warned though, this will keep you making a mental check list anytime you go to Wall-mart. Supplies. Get some.
This story has many sides to it, and having it accessible on many different formats (like Kindle) makes it easy for everyone. There are side stories available too, noting a small membership fee. For you book collectors out there, he offers signed books for sale on his website as well as stickers and shirts.
We are going to be putting together a Facebook giveaway full of stickers, t-shirts, and possibly even more when Zombies & Toys reaches 6,000 "likes" or Adrian's Undead Diary gets 3,000 OR when the total combined "likes" jump up too 8229. So, follow the links and get in on the action.
Also stay tuned because we will have a short interview the author about his writing process and the direction he is going with his new project soon, right here on Zombies & Toys!

Zombie-Proof Car ? You know you wanna drive it !

Amongst the numerous things that are needed to successfully survive a zombie apocalypse (weapons w/ plenty of ammo, shelter & food), a nice car could only help matters, correct ? This would certainly prove true if as an added bonus, your 4-wheeled automobile should be constructed for the long haul ala The Road Warrior style setup.
In conjunction with the release of The Walking Dead's 100th comic issue, creator Robert Kirkland and auto maker Hyundai have crashed brainpans on a sweepstakes that will let a winner drive away with a zombie-killing modified 2013 Elantra GT. The car itself will be on display at the Hyundai Undead Future US Booth at this year's Comic-Con International in San Diego, California.
If you click on the pic above. you can check out a 4 minute interview w/ Kirkman as he discusses surviving a zombie outbreak and the design plans for the Elantra. You can also jump on over to http://www.hyundaiundead.com/ to enter yourself in the sweepstakes for this Walking Dead slaughter sleigh. I know I personally can't wait for the day when we as a collective group of consumers can stroll onto a car lot, walk up to one of those slimy salesmen, and say " I'm not concerned about gas mileage or emissions, but how many zombies could I potentially wipe out behind the wheel of this little beauty ?" Good luck to all that enter !

"How many licks does it take?" Zombies & Toys' review of Lollipop Chainsaw
To contact us Click HERE
I once knew a girl who was absolutely beautiful. She was actually just plain ol' hot. The face and the body mesmerized me and oneday, I finally got the chance to go out with her. And it was one of the worst dates ever. She was just looks; nothing else. Her giggling became redundant; her sexualizedcomments became monotonous and vain. Anhour dinner felt like an eternity and it was an experience that cost me morethan I wanted to pay. If I had been injunior high, this would have been a night to treasure. But I was in college and was mature enough tobe looking for more than looks.
Yes, that was a real date and that is also the perfect wayto sum up Lollipop Chainsaw (LC.)
The game opens up to Juliet Starling, San Romero Highcheerleader and secret zombie hunter. Starling has just turned eighteen and is excited about seeing Nick, herboyfriend (he later becomes a magical talking head.) However, what she doesn'tknow is that her birthday is about to be filled with shambling corpses and aninfestation of unholy dark forces hell-bent on destroying the world.
Beats a cake.
The graphics on LC are good. With nice cell shading, Lollipop gives everything from school lockers tofarm houses to flying ships a standout, pop-out look. Quite noticeable is the amazing amount ofzombie models used in the game. Especially in the first few levels, the types of undead coming at youinclude a healthy amount of student looks, teacher appearances and firefighterand police designs.
Control is handled decently as the gamer can use Juliet'smartial arts skills to somersault, flip, pom-pom punch and kick her way throughenemies. Using the chainsaw is similarto your "heavy" move that's utilized in fighting games. Combos help Juliet gain stars, coins andmedals for more upgrades.
What puts a head-shot to Lollipop Chainsaw is that itfocuses on its only “strength:” the sex appeal of its main character. And then it bombards the gamer with T-n-Ajokes, stereotypes (yes, the only minorities are the Asian Kung Fu master andthe African-American auto tune pimp zombie boss) and more T-n-A (you can even try to look upJuliet’s skirt and she covers her privates with special poses.) Aren’t we a little more evolved than thefirst days of looking for nude codes for Tomb Raider?
LC insults gamers because it knows it has little, deliversless but still asks a gamer to spend hours and money to play it. The fact that it has zombies is prettyinterchangeable if it were aliens, trolls or robots. The undead just happen to be popular and youget that “trendy” feeling through the game. It’s just about getting pubescent players horny. If the price tag was about half of what itwas, perhaps LC would be a “gotta’ have.” The biggest let down is not what Lollipop Chainsaw is but rather what itcould have been.
Rent it or catch it in the reduced bin but don’t take it outto dinner – you’ll be disappointed.

80's Classics: With an Undead Twist
To contact us Click HERE
Matt Boiselle
If you are an 80's child like I am, you can truly appreciate the magic and memories that many of the great movies of that decade were able to project forth while on the big screen. ( Some of them stunk, but hey who's counting ?) Now, thanks to the incredible and overwhelming rise to national attention that the zombie craze has been linked to, a large number of these films have been restructured.....or reanimated.
The man responsible for these zombie-tweaked images is artist Matt Busch, whom back in 2009 designed 6 different posters for the Star Wars movies ( which were authorized by LucasFilm), and were entitled Zombie Wars. This insanely huge project led to Busch starting his own website ( http://www.hollywood-is-dead.com/) and placing his work in an online gallery for all to see. Now, Busch is on his 5th series of the undead movie poster spoofs, and this latest group will surely stack a large number of box-office heavyweights.
Amongst some of the posters available for viewing (and purchase) are The Breakfast Club ( The Breakfast Clump) - The Terminator ( The Termin Ate Her) & Ferris Bueller's Day Off ( Ferris Bueller's Day of the Dead). All of the artwork in these posters are stunning to say the least, but do not fret oh skeptical ones, these designs are not made to make light of the movies, but simply to show great appreciation for them, as Busch is a self-professed 80's child himself. As the heat of the summer drags on, Busch already has prints lined up for movies like The Lost Boys, Prince's Purple Rain, & National Lampoon's European Vacation. There has already been a licensing deal inked with Fright-Rags t-shirt Inc. to produce wearables based on the undead posters, and in the future there will be a coffee-table book, and a board game as well.
So if you are looking for a little demented artwork to sling up on your walls, and would love nothing more than to replace your boring old family pictures with something truly frightening.....then this stuff is definitely right up your alley. Click on the pics to be taken to Matt's online gallery and order yourself some gruesome 80's movie posters that will put more of a chill in your bones than any repeat of Charles in Charge could ever do.
