It’s time to start thinking about Halloween, especially if you plan on making your own zombies for your graveyard decor. SpookyBlue.com has put together well thought-out instructions for creating your own zombies. They offer two different versions with detailed materials lists, including where to find them.

Zombie Spidey! According to Marvel.com, this 7″ tall collectible, along with Colonel America and the Hulk hit the shelves at comic shops, Suncoast, and Spencers in May 2007. However, I checked Entertainment Earth, and they show they won’t have them in stock until September 2007. Who knows, maybe they sold out? In the meantime, you can amuse yourself with this interview at Marvel.com.

Zombies on a plane, sure, why not?! Watch the trailer for higher than usual looking production values borrowing heavily from both Snakes on a Plane and Airplane this looks like a zombie film comedy with teeth, just the way we like it here on Zombie Order.

Check out the official site here.

Best Zombie Hat evar. The Etsy creator of this awesome zombie hat has another version, and takes custom orders as well! If you buy one, please send us your photos (use the contact form below), and we’ll post ‘em!

Hey look, they made a plushy Lor!

Cute zombie plushies make great gifts! The socks and shoes are great, but check out the dead butterfly pet on a leash, that’s just brilliant. The 16″ Lil’ Ragdoll is available for $20 at Entertainment Earth or probably in your mall at Hot Topic.

Danger 50,000 Volts: Zombies. Special episode of the channel 5 progamme staring Nick Frost & Simon Pegg

Hell’s Ground (ZIBAHKHANA) is the (not surprisingly) first ever zombie film from Pakistan. Which just strikes me as totally awesome, so I for one can’t wait to see this. The film’s official website has this to say: “features Pink Flamingoes, The Original Living Corpse, severed heads, eye gouging, impalings, hanging crows, transvestites, drugs, Rock ‘n Roll, safe-sex, cross-dressing maniacs, Islamic flesh eating zombies, transsexuals, Adnan Sami having a blood-bath, cannibalism, nubile young women, gushing blood, socio-political undercurrents ………and that’s just for starters!”
So it’s got that going for it. (safe sex? Hanging crows?!)

–I just hope they’re better at moviemaking than they are at HTML.

At anyrate, they certainly seem to have the right idea, so here’s hoping a US DVD will be heading my way soon.

Zombie Order reader Kevin points out that The Walking Dead trade paper backs are now available up to volume 5 on Amazon and volume 6 is available to preorder. Kevin says: “There is a pretty cool afterword by Simon Pegg at the end of the second volume.” So get to reading.

Special guest review by Pirate Hunter

If you’ve read some of my other reviews you probably know that I’m not a fan of Quentin Tarantino’s work. I’ve always felt he was a voiceless filmmaker who used the guise of homage to hide his lack of real vision. It’s my opinion that Tarantino’s long-time friend and Grindhouse counterpart, Robert Rodriguez, is just the opposite. He may not be the most coherent auteur, but I feel his influences fuel his artistic visions instead of owning them. Rodriguez is also a technical innovator, helping to usher in the age of high definition filming, as well as many other progressive techniques.

That said, I’ve actually been looking forward to Grindhouse, because this will be the first time Tarantino can openly “borrow” from his disreputable influences without it being an issue. I mean, the film is called Grindhouse. I might have appreciated Kill Bill more if it had been titled “Kung Fu Movies I liked.”

Wild Zero is Japanese trash cinema at it’s best. Featuring real rockers Guitar Wolf the movie explodes with wild enthusiasm; heads pop, sexy arms dealers provide big guns to blow shit up with, big hair is combed, there’s even a gratuitous shower scene that seems to provide nothing but an excuse to 1) provide nudity, and 2) prove that even in Japan they have seen Psycho.

More after the jump

Fans of zombies are hot. It’s a proven fact. If you search the internet for such things (and I do) you’ll note that for the most part people, especially girls into the zombie genre are smart, sexy and well dressed. They also smell nice and have good taste in music –but now I think I’m just talking about myself.
Anyway, you’ve got to look good and Zombie Kitten Original skirts are hot. I’m partial to the bats myself, but the coffin design (shown here) and the rocket are both totally awesome as well. I hope in the near future we’ll see an actual zombie skirt design as well, after all, it is in their name!

The Zombie Diaries is a UK zombie film making some buzz lately. People lucky enough to have seen it at special screenings are proclaiming it one of the best zombie films to come of the UK. Color me interested.
You can view the trailer while we wait for word on a US DVD distribution deal!

Take the rest of the day off and see how many zombies you can put down in this fun, web based game.
