Zombie Slash

Now I’m not sure how well a mixed martial artist would do against a zombie attack, considering MMA fighters don’t train to defend against biting. But there is one MMA fighter who may survive by, of all things, joining the zombie horde: Chan Sung “The Korean Zombie” Jung.

This featherweight powerhouse gets his name from his uncanny ability to move forward in a fight, even after taking a ton of damage. Pretty appropriate name if you ask me! Just watch his past fights—especially his fight of the decade performance against Leonard Garcia—to get an idea of his zombie-like behavior.

And we here at Zombie Slash definitely approve of Jung’s official Korean Zombie t-shirt.

As a fan of the post-apocalyptic zombie comic book series, The Walking Dead, I’m psyched for the new AMC TV series based on the books! The show premieres this October.

Among the the latest Walking Dead news, the show’s zombie makeup mastermind, Greg Nicotero, gave an interview on AMC’s blog last week that reveals some of the details of his work. I’m happy to see he draws primarily on the fresh zombie art from the comic books for visual style. Here’s a preview of some of his work:

Check out the full interview here and a round up of other interviews and fresh photos from the set on AMC’s Waking Dead blog here.

The TIME magazine website is featuring a short interview with legendary zombie film director, George Romero. In the interview, Romero answers ten reader-submitted questions, and reveals that he doesn’t like the new trends in horror films, and isn’t at all rushing out to see the latest zombie films. He says his favorite film ever is The Tales of Hoffman. I haven’t seen it but am intrigued.

Easter Sunday is approaching — and that means it’s time to celebrate the famous undead prophet’s re-birthday at the Easter Philadelphia Zombie Crawl. You don’t even have to do your own make-up — you can attend a pre-game painting for just $10 (which we know from experience will save you time cleaning the gore stains off the bathroom sink.)

In other zombie walk news, we haven’t heard anything about another Easter zombie walk in Boston this year, after there was some controversy about last year’s Easter zombie event there. But you really never know when the hordes will strike, do you?

Comedy Central’s new animated show, Ugly Americans, takes place in a New York City where there are are everything from zombies to aliens to wizards to demons everywhere. The show has a lot of really funny moments. It features fun-loving zombies who can’t resist punching through doors.

Here’s another shot where the (non-zombie) main character’s zombie roommate enjoys a hearty morning breakfast of Cadaver-O’s.
