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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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 »
