10 Scary Zombie Killing Weapons

I've been seeing the trailer for the upcoming [REC] remake zombie flick Quarantine quite a bit recently and, naturally, it has got me thinking about zombie killing. The basic must-have weapons have always been a shotgun, pistol, chainsaw, baseball bat and a crowbar—but if you want to go the extra mile when preparing for Armageddon, the following weapons and tools will let the undead horde know that you really mean business.

Zombie Garden Sculpture Keeps Those Damn Kids Off Your Lawn, Might Eat Their Brains

Design Toscano wants you to "expect the extraordinary from your home and garden," and that includes the walking dead. Take this 13-lb. resin undead garden zombie, for example. Designed by British artist Alan Dickinson, it's a life-sized resin sculpture that would be a terrifying addition to any lawn, garden or personal graveyard. More »

CompUSA: It Lives!

After it died, CompUSA was bought by Tigerdirect, and here are some of the first pictures of the freshly awakened PC retailer. Even better, the zombified store is reported by reader Martin B. to be better than its pre-undead version:
It's a much better store than it used to be, full of components, motherboards, and lots of actually _helpful_ people who know computers.

Crawling Zombie Vigorously Drags His Legless Carcass Into Your Heart

If you're one of the hordes of the zombie-obsessed, you're going to love The Crawling Zombie, a legless, lifeless and red-eyed oaf that chases you across the table as he cries out such pithy sayings as "Hey, slow down, would ya? I can only crawl so fast!" and "I can't feel my legs," and even more wisecracks. Jump to the next page for a video of this undulating undead ogre in action. More »

FBI to Fight Zombie Hordes, BBC Says

For some reason, when I read "FBI Tries to Fight Zombie Hordes" this morning I really got excited. The idea of an FBI squad hunting smelly, vicious and utterly stupid brain-dead slobs has a certain charm. Sadly, they are not looking for your dorm roommate or my ex-mother-in-law, but for something completely different.

Zombies Mob SF Apple Store, Forget IDs at Home, Pay Cash Instead

The Zombie flash mob group—yes, they're exactly how they sound—over at eatbrains.com organized and pulled off an SF Apple Store invasion yesterday. Brain- and flesh-eating Zombies filed into the Apple store and feasted on white plastic along with their usual blood and guts, which probably helped their digestion a little thanks to Apple's recent efforts to go green. Worst pun of the year? Probably. More »

Russian Coffin Buries You with Panic Button

Ever since we saw The Serpent and the Rainbow as a little kid, we've had this unnatural fear of being buried alive. Well, a Russian inventor by the name of Vitaly Malyukov must have watched the same movie cause he's designed a casket with a built-in panic button that lets you contact the living in case your quack of a doctor accidentally pronounced you dead. Pushing the panic button (which glows in the dark) alerts the cemetery caretaker who can then dig you back up (after they return from their lunch break, of course). So in the end you'll wind up dead one way or another. No word on pricing or availability. – Louis Ramirez More »

Corpse Solar Light: Green In More Ways Than One

While we've already posted an extensive Halloween Roundup, it has come to my attention that there is one necessary addendum: the Corpse Solar Light. The zombie is 17 inches of the most gruesome plastic you've ever seen. He holds a solar powered lantern in one hand...where is his other...maybe BEHIND YOU! Whoa. It's ok. Just relax. I didn't mean to actually scare you. More »
