My birthday is just around the corner, so I may be adding this to my wishlist: A hand-illustrated portrait of myself as a zombie by illustrator Rob Sacchetto. You send him a jpeg and he draws your “inner zombie,” rendered as an 8 x 10, full-color hard copy suitable for framing.

It costs US$80 or US$160 for couples … so maybe I’ll wait to get my wedding photo zombified for my anniversary this fall.

Decisions, decisions.

The folks over at LostZombies.com are on a mission to alert the world to the imminent zombie apocalypse, and they want your video proof — or re-enactments — for their site and a feature-length documentary.

Damn! And I just recorded my dog chasing a flashlight beam over the tape of my neighbor-lady Mrs. Nonnemacher gnawing on the postman.

Zombies are mindless, shambling ghouls, right?

Maybe the story is more complicated than that. In the short comic, “A Zombie’s Tale,” written by Dwight L. MacPherson, we get a look at the zombie apocalypse through the eyes of an undead New Yorker.

A big thank you to Dwight for letting us post the story in its entirety (after the jump.)

And after reading “A Zombie’s Tale,” be sure to check out http://www.myspace.com/dwightlmacpherson for lots more mind-blowing work.

Let’s get the obvious out of the way immediately: George A. Romero, father of the modern-day zombie movie, is a genre — and general — filmmaking giant. Mr. Romero could release a 90-minute test pattern and his legacy would be secure.

But man alive (or undead), is his latest film dreadful.

I love the ‘Dead’ series like Pittsburgh zombie’s love human flesh. So when ‘Diary’ came out, I searched all over L.A. to catch it (and the fact that it was only playing at Grauman’s Chinese Theater did little to dampen my enthusiasm.)

Sadly, it was probably the worst movie I’ve ever watched in its entirety — and I’ve seen several Uwe Boll flicks.

It’s on DVD soon, so you can see for yourself.

It’s amazing no one thought of this sooner.
