Go to the Telltale Games website or their Facebook page for more details. From the press release:

Episode One, 'A New Day', and the following four episodes deliver an experience tailored by the decisions that each player makes, leading to multiple paths through the story. Players take on the role of Lee Everett, a man convicted of murder, now given newfound freedom and a chance at redemption in a world devastated by the undead. 

Intense life or death situations will force the player to explore the darker sides of human nature, and they will meet familiar characters and visit locations from the world created by Robert Kirkman, foreshadowing the story of Deputy Sheriff Rick Grimes in The Walking Dead comics. The first episode sells for 400 Microsoft Points on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, $4.99 on PlayStation Network, and on PC and Mac as a season pass covering all five episodes for $24.99 from the Telltale Online Store and other digital distribution outlets.

The Dead (2012) - Trailer

Two groups of people (a news crew and a group of friends) document the most horrific plague this country has ever seen. Days prior to the Horizex Incident, a group of friends are celebrating one of their own's 21st birthday on October 31st, 2010. In the meantime a news report team has a lead to investigate a protesting group called P.A.S.S. in order to shut down the Horizex plant. Both groups end up finding out that there is a zombie apocalypse in their small town of Aubrey. Now the two groups must find a way to survive or end up as one of "The Dead".

Insane Zombie Carnage - Game

Here's a new game available on XBox Live from Play Berries. From their press release:

It has begun. The Earth is infected. There is no time. You gotta save the Word and it is not going to be a stealth mission. Fight your way through endless hordes of the undead, shoot 'em, burn 'em, blast 'em, beat 'em. Kill 'em in dozen different ways. And, oh, yes, die hundreds of times in the process. Three different game modes. Unlockable weapons, surprise boxes and hours of edge-of-your-seat frantic action. 

Insane Zombie Carnage is one of those games that are simple in concept and yet are complex enough to provide countless hours of pure fun.

Why Did John Hawkes Turn Down The Role Of The Governor?

According to this article from MovieWeb:

They offered me the role, and I just felt there would be someone else who could do it better. I was flattered, and I took a look at the series. It held interest for me, but I just didn't feel like I was the guy for it. I have to be careful of what TV shows I choose, particularly ones that have commercials in them, because it's going to be a different kind of television show. There are going to be sponsors. No matter how good the show is, if there are commercials, it's going to be a different show, to me. That's just my personal feeling.

"Plight Of The Zombies" Game For The iOS & Android Devices

Get more information from the Spark Plug Games website. 

We are tired of all of these zombie games designed for those apathetic people who just want to kill poor, innocent zombies all the time. They’re just hungry! So, coming mid-2012 to Android and iOS devices, Spark Plug Games is proud to announce our most delicious game yet: Plight of the Zombie. 

All we ask is that you to check out our cause and help end zombie hunger. There are those among us who are misunderstood. They’re rejected by society and even killed, just for being who they are! It’s time to walk a mile in someone else’s shoe, or in this instance, someone’s deceased and quite undead shoe as you feel the everlasting pangs of hunger. 

You know what it’s like to be counting down the clock to lunchtime, absolutely craving a burger (or veggie burger). Just imagine that feeling every day. And instead of burgers, you want brains. It could happen, right?

The New Jersey Zombie Walk is rising for the 5th anniversary of the apocalypse on Saturday, October 6th 2012! The undead outbreak was born in Asbury Park in 2008, and every year since the zombie horde has tripled in size, rocketing the event further and further towards a total citywide takeover... which is exactly what will happen this milestone year!

Zombie Outbreak Simulator lets you customize your own zombie outbreak, running on Google Maps.

With new iOS exclusive features, you can now zoom in and out on the action to keep track of the infection as it spreads across the map! Watch from a high satellite view to get an overview of the infection, represented by green dots for civilians, red for zombies and blue for police.

The Walking Dead: NC State

I'm posting this mainly because it's my school! The various shots include the Bell Tower, the Engineering Buildings next to my office at work (and where I'm currently taking classes), among other pieces of scenery around campus.

iZombie, the comic published by Vertigo, is scheduled to end its run in August 2012 with issue 28. From this article at Multiversity Comics:

As reported from the Vertigo panel at ECCC, it looks like Chris Roberson and Mike Allred's "iZombie" will be ending in August with issue #28. Allred noted on the panel that a "massive galactic event" will occur to end the book, and while Vertigo has had a few cancellations in its stoic past (such as with "Northlanders", which broke our hearts), there was/is no mention of the book ending prematurely.

Zombie Dawn (2011) - Trailer 2

A new trailer has come out for Zombie Dawn. And on their website they have listed some some new screening dates. So be sure to check them out and see if it's showing near you!

The plot synopsis is:

2006. A mysterious incident at a remote mining facility unleashes a zombie horde with an appetite for human flesh. It decimates large portions of the cities and countryside. The only course of action is to rapidly enclose the infected areas and seal them off from the rest of the remaining, living population. 

Now. 15 years later the tattered remains of the government and the mining corporation responsible for where the initial event took place commit themselves to finding out what may have happened at the mining complex. The solution is to covertly send a group of mercenaries and scientists into the quarantined zone to find answers.

"Walking Dead: The Road To Woodbury" (Book)

The next novel in the Walking Dead universe is scheduled to come out on 16 October. From this article, courtesy of Hollywood Reporter, Robert Kirkman says:

"It’s going to be a direct sequel to Rise of the Governor. We’re going to meet new characters as they come to Woodbury and see how Woodbury is founded, and how the Governor continues to grow as a character. It all takes place before we met the Governor in the comic book series, and there’s a lot more story to tell with that guy. We’ll also look at others—Lilly is going to be another focus. It’s going to be fun to explore those characters again."

Ultimate Zombie Warrior

I saw a post about this on Dread Central's new feed. You can read more about it on their website.

Maggie Is Now A Regular On "The Walking Dead"

In sticking with the comic story (more than it did with the early deaths of Dale and Sophia), Glen's love, Maggie, has become a regular character on AMC's "The Walking Dead". TV Line announced that Lauren Cohan has signed on to full regular cast status as of season 3.

The third season, which has a full 16 episode order, will premiere in October of 2012.

Pretty Dead (2012) - Trailer

Find out more on their website.

Love couldn’t save her. Death couldn’t stop her. Regina Stevens was an ambitious and beautiful doctor straight out of medical school, recently engaged to the love of her life Ryan Dyson. 

That is until she began to exhibit a number of odd new behaviors such as a craving for human flesh. Wanting to help, but unable to stop her ever increasing appetite, Ryan must choose whether to save himself or risk everything to save Regina. 

An incredible emotional journey unlike anything that has been brought to the zombie movie genre before, Pretty Dead explores the possibility of what it would really be like to have the person you cared for most in the world change into something horribly beyond their control – plotting a new course towards scientific and emotional accuracy in the undead world. Pretty Dead will be coming to a screen near you in 2012.

The Walking Dead To Film In Senoia, GA

The city of Senoia, GA, is going to be the place to be if you want to be an extra in season 3 of AMC's "The Walking Dead".

And maybe for season 4 as well.


From the article:

Mike Riley and Seth Zimmerman with AMC Television attended the Senoia City Council meeting on Monday — telling the council that the film series will be shooting in Senoia throughout 2012 and possibly in 2013, too.

Carl Stay In The House!

When there's no more yarn in Hell, the thread will walk the Earth!

I've always enjoyed an alternate take on my favorite movie, and I very much enjoyed Hannah Simpson's knitted rendition of Dawn of the Dead. There is a gallery of the primary players on this page: Franny - Peter- Roger - Flyboy and cool takes on Tom Savini and Sombrero guy.

She also shows lots of love for Dr. Logan, and some of our pals from Day of the Dead. Check them out and several other favorites on her Knitted Minions page. Nice work, Hannah!

Zombie Ass: The Toilet Of The Dead - Trailer (NSFW)

They pervert!

They are dangerous!

Danger.

"Attack Of The Herbals" Trailer And Release Date

The film is scheduled for release on 25 June in the UK and later in the US. The synopsis for the film is:

Jackson McGregor has returned after years of exile to his grandparent s home in a small sleepy Scottish village, a village where the daily routine consists of eating, sleeping, fishing and drinking tea. However the local s way of life is under threat from a large corporate retail machine headed up by a monster named Bennett who wants to buy land for a new development. 

After discovering a crate of herbal tea washed up on shore, Jackson hatches a plan to sell the tea and save the village. However the new lease of life the tea seems to give people soon turns into a nightmare, and Jackson finds himself in a village of Zimmer-frame wielding, flesh eating pensioners. 

Can Jackson save the village, redeem himself and stay alive? Attack of the Herbals puts the Tea back into terror, an outrageously funny horror comedy that is quite simply Scotland s answer to Shaun of the Dead....

Russia developing a gun that turns people into zombies! (seriously)

Ever since the game Resident Evil and the movie 28 Days Later breathed new light into the zombie attack genre, America has been on something of an obsessive kick. We all played Plants vs. Zombies. We've designed exercise routines to help keep us safe from the zombie apocalypse. There are even zombie attack bedsheets. Thankfully, though, a zombie attack is an impossibility. Or is it?

Russian President Vladmir Putin confirmed that his country is working on the creation of an electromagnetic gun that attacks its target's central nervous system, putting them in what we hope is a temporary, zombie-like state. According to Russian defense minister Anatoly Serdyukov, "when it was used for dispersing a crowd and it was focused on a man, his body temperature went up immediately as if he was thrown into a frying pan."

"We know very little about this weapon, and even special forces guys can hardly cope with it," added Serdyukov. That doesn't sound very comforting.

While this technology is certainly disturbing, thankfully, it's unlikely to be the cause of the inevitable zombie apocalypse. Victims of the gun don't — as far as we know — develop a taste for human brains. And since the zombie effect isn't viral, those dissidents won't be able to go around turning other people into the restless undead. Phew.
