Anybody read the graphic novel Xombie
My son gave it to me, I'm about a third of the way in. Like it alot, imagine a film version of it would be pretty gory.

And that's the problem with zombie movies. There's something about them I really love, but it's hard for me to watch them because I have such a low gore tolerance. Love the original Night of the Living Dead - and I liked 28 Days Later alot too. Had to watch that one 2x because the first viewing I stopped half way thru, it was too intense.

I'm gonna make sure my husband knows about it, he reads zombie comics and graphic novels (it is funny how many there are) but I haven't seen one called Xombie before, thanks!
The movies are what I'm crazy about, I'm usually a softy but horror movie gore is just funny to me and zombie movies are my favorite. We went to our first zombie crawl this year, he was construction worker zombie and I was gardener zombie :headbang:

3. James Farr good
I'm gonna make sure he knows!
A zombie crawl (or mob or march) is when people meet up dressed like zombies and stumble around. The one we went to was in Baltimore and only had about 100 people but there have been some great ones in other cities, one in Philadelphia had thousands of zombies! They aren't a secret but they aren't well publicized either, you kind of have to search to find out about them. We found out about ours online and then just showed up, with a lot of other strangers who'd just showed up!
There's a site for it, zombiewalk.com but I don't know who all plans them and it's not updated often.

This is two funny tennis player zombies at the one I went to, they were moaning and stumbling :headbang:


If you use youtube look for videos of some zombie marches, they are soooo funny!
