Zombies take the big screen again Before The Dawn

Scheduled for an October 2013 release, Before The Dawn, by Redberry Films aims to throw a twist in the zombie origin theory.  Stay tuned here for more as it develops.

Edit 07/17/2022

What if the treatment to save the life of a person you love had certain horrific side effects? What if that side effect caused the zombie outbreak? Finally, what if you couldn't tell the zombies from the normal people until it was to late? These are a few things to look forward to in the upcoming horror flick, Before The Dawn. From the synopsis I read this promises a zombie outbreak story like you've never seen before. Tentatively scheduled for an October 2013 release this movie keeps me wanting more details. Any guesses on what you might see, or like to see.

Face eating "zombies"...again


Well, its happened again.  This time across the big pond in the city of Wenzhou in China.  Apparently bus driver name Dong have a few too many drinks on his lunch break and decided he would stand in the middle of traffic until someone stopped.  It just so happened that Du was the unlucky person this day.  Dong jumped on top of her vehicle and started beating on the hood and when she got out to run away he jump on top of her and commence to chewing on her face.

Witnesses, attempting to restrain Dong, were easily resisted by the drunken ninja.  He continued to chew on her until the police arrived and were able to subdue him and take him into custody.  Du was taken to the hospital where she will need plastic surgery to reconstruct her face.

This incident comes in the wake of the Florida "zombie" where Rudy Eugene chewed the face off of a homeless person in late May.  It was said that he was on bath salts but it was later proved not to be case after an autopsy.

It seems to me like face eating has become the thing to do and I'm not sure all these cases are really genuine or people just trying to recreate the hype. Earlier this month police responded to a report of someone acting strangely in a golf course in Atlanta.  Police arrived to find Karl Laventure running around naked with a golf club.  While he was being tasered by police he shouted "I'll eat your face @#$^%$#@%^$#*, I'll eat your face @#$^%$#@%^$#*".

Do You Have What It Takes To Survive The Apocalypse?

Think you have the ability to survive a zombie infested world?  Find out for yourself at the Run For Your Lives 5K zombie filled obstacle course.  It's going on now in select cities from Washington down to Florida.  Here you can test your speed and whits against all types of zombies, from the slow Night of the Living Dead creepers to the 28 Days Later run your ass off killers.

At the start of the race all of the participants will be given a belt with a certain number of flags. Along the way you will encounter zombies that will be trying to take your flags away. If you lose all of your flags you are considered "dead". When you complete the course you are given a medal, either a survivor medal or a zombie medal, depending on living status.  The real kicker is that when you cross the finish line "dead", you become a zombie and then try to take other people flags away. That being said, the longer it takes you to complete the course the more zombies you will have to contend with.

This event is as realist as it gets without actually being eaten by a real zombie.  All zombies are instructed to grab flags and not chew your face off.  In the unlikely even that someone does get hurt they do have medical personnel standing by.











If you think you have what it takes, find out for sure at the next event.
