Star Wars Zombie Posters Are Crying Out For Zombie Films To Advertise

Kat Hannaford — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 06:50:48 EST

Official Star Wars artist Matt Busch has created six horrific zombified posters for the Star Wars films, with a mini zombie storyline running through them. See Obi Wan decay more with every new movie poster!

This has all come about because of the latest Clone Wars episode, titled 'Brain Invaders,' which sees several key characters becoming zombies.

Of course, now we're all crying out for zombified parodies of the original films to be uploaded to YouTube. Can we somehow convince Simon Pegg to take part, maybe decapitate a few with some vinyl? [CorePlanets via Geekologie]

Run. Run! Run for your life, but don't step over giant green pipe on your way out, or the zombie Super Nintendo will catch you to suck your blood and soul. The damn thing even glows in the dark:

Why would anyone do this to a perfectly functional console—which is still fully operational after this defacing? I don't know, but I like the way they think. [Game Over Project via Technabob via Kotaku]

Velociraptors Now Hunting Drivers On Indiana Roads

The apocalyptical road sign hacking continues after zombies attacked Austin a few days ago. Now, fossil raptors have been revived in Indiana and they are attacking motorists. At least, that's what some of them think.

One of the drivers interviewed by The Indy Channel in Hamilton County said: "it's kind of crazy. I'm totally confused. I'm kind of expecting… dinosaurs to run down the road, or something." Yes Beavis, zombie raptors are going to eat us all. [The Indy Channel]

Hacked Construction Signs Warn of Zombie Attack in Austin

Who in their right mind would dare hack a construction sign with zombie warnings? Well, apparently some people in Austin—probably some pesky University of Texas students according to a local traffic controller:

Jones, who has one of only two keys to the locked access panels on the portable signs, said that the hacker broke into the panels on each sign and bypassed the passwords before leaving five different zombie messages and even changing one of the passwords. Jones said he had to wait until 8 a.m. to call the manufacturing company to figure out how to override the hacker’s work.

OK OK, but here's the punchline:

He speculated that the hacker could be a computer genius from UT.

Yes, kids. You too can be a computer genius. [Statesman and No Fear of the Future]

The Zombie Apocalypse Is Less Terrifying in LEGO

The question is not IF there will be a zombie apocalypse, but whether or not said end of the world will occur before or after singularity and the robot uprising. Here, in the maudlin sculpture Zombie Apocafest 2008, we see the battle depicted in the only artistic medium that will survive when Man is literally blinded by his own arrogance, LEGO. This diorama was built by participants of the recent BrickCon 2008. May it serve as a warning to us all. [flickr via Brothers Brick]
