Boomer Zombie
The Boomer zombie is one of the most disgusting of zombies. I would avoid this zombie at all costs. He can throw up on you from a distance and he may explode if you shoot him so be careful. He is full of methane gas. Your best bet with him is to run or to shoot him from a safe distance. Watch out for his projectile vomit as it is very acidic and can do damage to you. If it gets in your eyes it will greatly blur your vision. He is a slow zombie and not very strong but his size gives him strength and his ability to produce vast amounts of methane gas makes him very flammable and gross. Use caution around open flames.
Danger Rating: Gross
Transmission from Zero
This is for those zombie readers out there who aren’t so interested in regency England. The book is NOT intended for the faint of heart. There is lots of bloody, gruesome action in this one. I went on the website and they let you preview the first few pages on there. I read them and it seems pretty awesome to me so check it out!

Zombie Combat Manual
This manual looks rather interesting because it will teach you how to fight against the living dead and give you tips on what to look out for, how to move, etc. It will even go over certain exercises that will help you keep fit in order to be ready for a zombie attack. I agree that it is important to stay fit, especially in case of a zombie epidemic. Just imagine if there is an outbreak and you’re not at home. You can’t always have your shotgun arsenal nearby. What other weapon can you just pick up and use? What kind of weapons are most effective and what if there is no weapon nearby? What kind of attacks will work against a zombie? Do NOT rely on your Karate or Tae Kwon Do. We all know you are no Chuck Norris. Plus, moves that work against a human will not necessarily work against a zombie. For one, a zombie can’t feel pain and you can’t stun a zombie. Also, even if you are able to dismember one they will not stop coming after you. This combat manual will not be released until April 6, 2010 but you can still pre-order it from Amazon if you’d like.

ZOMBIENINJAPIRATE
Whats the only thing cooler than a zombie? Well, maybe a ZombieNinjaPirate! I’m trying to imagine the sequence of events that would have to take place to allow a zombie ninja pirate to be made. I guess first and foremost he would need to be a pirate while he was alive. Then I suppose while still alive would decide he also wanted to be a ninja and sail his pirate ship to japan and begin intensive ninja training maybe in exchange for pirate bootie? Then, on one of his ninja missions after already being wounded he came across a horde of hungry zombies! He was barely able to escape but had been bitten in the process. Inevitably, he got turned into a zombie ninja pirate. Well, I guess it could happen. Anyways, Chris Wahl is the artist that designed this t-shirt. I looked through his illustrations and most of his art seems to have a dark and/or sexy style to it. A lot of the art has a comic book feel to it which I love. You can buy this t-shirt and other t-shirts he has designed at Red Bubble. Enjoy your undead, silent, mauradering!

A graveyard zombie
Fresh from the graveyard these zombies are usually older and more decayed than other zombie species. They reak of rotting flesh and have spots of skin eaten away by hungry maggots. Something reanimates them from the grave (possibly some military bio-technology experiment gone wrong) and they dig their way up to the surface. Once they have risen from the grave they wander the graveyard in search of fresh brains. This kind of zombie is in immense pain since their body is decaying. The only thing that will make them feel better is eating brains and they will search far and wide for them. They start out in the cemetary but will wander into nearby neighborhoods in search of brains. They are not very smart and therefore can be tricked or distracted. They are attracted to any noises they hear because they think that might mean there are brains nearby. Defeat them by destroying or seperating the brain from the body. Shotguns are very effective against them. Just shoot for the brain. This however, will not be effective if their is a large horde of them. This zombie species gets 3.5 brains out of 5 for it’s danger rating.
Danger Rating = 3.5 brains (oh yes, there will be blood)
I can has brains?
In my opinion, cats are just plain creepy to begin with. Turn one into a zombie and it’s really gross! You get a stinky mangy ugly looking zombie cat. Zombie cats have the ability to spread infection and cause a lot of scrape-age to your body. They are very aggressive and attack anything that moves. They will wait in a dark corner and jump out at you when you last expect it making a screeching sound and freaking you out. If you get bitten or scratched you will be infected so do your best to avoid these zombies. Another danger is that these can look almost like a normal cat. Pay attention to aggressive behavior. This can tip you off right away. Also there eyes can get a strange yellow quality to them and pay attention to blood! If the cat has blood spots on it’s body it may have died and come back as a zombie. The blood may have come from the cat itself when it died or from animals or humans it has attacked since it became a zombie. Either way it should clue you in that there is something wrong. It’s important to stay alert and pay attention to these signs. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Too many times people ignore these signs and end up infected. The cat zombie gets two and a half brains for it’s danger factor. It’s more dangerous than a zombie rat or a baby zombie.
Rat Zombie
These disgusting foul creatures infest dark corners and wall space in buildings. They are aggressive and will attack if they notice you. The zombification process somehow does not effect the rats speed. Because of their size they are less dangerous than most other zombies. However, their ability to infect makes them a real threat. I give zombie rats 2 brains for their danger rating.
Danger Rating = 2 out of 5 brains
Dead Man's Bones
My friend JadeValentine over at Gamebetties just sent me this song and I really love this video. It’s super creepy with all the vintage photographs and then I found myself singing the song later in the day. It’s really rather catchy! Later, she told me Ryan Gosling is in the band. Then I was like who is that? (because i’m pretty lame when it comes to knowing movie stars names and such) It turns out he is a famous actor from The Notebook. The other less famous band member is Zach Shields. Who the heck is he you say? How should I know? The band is called Dead Man’s Bones and they say their influences are “Disney Haunted Mansion, doo wop and 60s girl groups.” Hmmm… who hasn’t been influenced by that?

Mummification is the process of preserving a dead body. Ancient Egypt is famous for their mummies but there are mummies all over the world. Technically a mummy that has been brought back to life is a zombie although it might not be what you first think of when you hear the word zombie. A mummy that has not been brought back to life is just a preserved dead body. Usually a mummy is brought to life through magic which makes it a little different than the normal graveyard zombie. A mummy may even lose it’s head and not die.
The Mummy of Queen Ahmes Nofretari.
The good news is that since they are so old and dried out a mummy is very brittle. The best way to defeat one is to smash it to bits. Another option is to use fire. Mummies are very afraid of fire and will back away if you have a torch. If you use the torch on them they will burn rather quickly. The other option is to reverse the magical spell which can be rather complicated. In the case of an Ancient Egyptian mummy, the magic spell usually will consist of a curse that a person has received for disturbing the pharoahs tomb. The mummy will be trying to protect the tomb and get revenge in the name of the pharoah. While there may be a way to reverse the spell it will probably involve being able to read heiroglyphs.
I give the mummy zombie 3 brains for the danger rating. They are dangerous and strong but there are some simple ways in which to kill them and on top of that they are pretty slow moving which makes it easy to run from them.
Danger Rating = 3 Brains (pretty scary!)
