I came across Mr. Holubow’s photography a while back. I was just looking through old links and rediscovered the powerful images he has created. Here is a taste, but check out his site for more! Very apocalypse worthy.

film: DISTRICT 9

What a shitty title for a film, but the dam trailer looks so awesome! Put some headphones on for this one!
*Update
Saw the film yesterday and thought is was AWESOME! Super good. Go see it.

*UPDATE They pulled the trailer, so this will have to do. Bare with the horrible intro.

film: ZOMBIELAND

danapocalypse — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 17:58:08 +0000

Oh shit, more zombies! Zombies are making a comeback and we love that. Just saw this trailer over the weekend. Part of it looked funny and cool, other parts looks kinda bad–we’ll have to wait and see! Here are some stills.

*UPDATE
I saw a new trailer for this film and it was a lot better than the first. Looks pretty awesome! Seems like there are a lot of new films coming out that are right up my alley, and probably some of yours.

TRAILER

Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) doesn’t have fears. If he did, he’d kick their ever-living ass. In a world overrun by zombies, these two are perfectly evolved survivors. But now, they’re about to stare down the most terrifying prospect of all: each other.

video: HOLY SONS – Things you do while waiting for the apocalypse

danapocalypse — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 18:14:59 +0000

I was searching around for another song by Holy Sons and came across this video. The title alone is why this is being posted. The video is weird. Its Mad Max mirrored in a strange why, so nothing visually makes a whole lot of sense. But whatever, the name of the song rules and makes you ask yourself what are you doing while waiting for the apocalypse? The more I listen to this the more i like it.

Lyrics, incase you’re interested:

Amen to the search for the knowledge of this world
Wishing that it sprang from every soul like a pearl
Did you do your own research?
Did you build from the ground your own church?
Down with the written histories (for those burned up books that we cannot read)
Celebrate the graves that you stand upon
This is love to the deaths that I’m standing on
A claustrophobic magic spirals, sickens and swirls
Can you feel the failure that I’ve felt with the girls?
Liberation’s out, bring the mind-prisons back in
Get’em safe, Keep’em safe
Forget the past, Through eras their sickness lasts
Obsolescence, Pre-designed
Been picking fights with that lobotomized mind
Lock-down commencing soon
Too many graveyards on the moon
I can’t forget until my mind dies
Just tell the future eras we tried
We’re sending up flares, breed in good pairs
Fight with bare hands to occupy their chairs
I can’t forget until my mind dies

book:History Is Dead: A Zombie Anthology

danapocalypse — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 17:48:28 +0000

Oh snap. Another book that looks like a good read. I wish i had the attention span to actually get into reading these books. This maybe the one to get me going. Read the review below the cover art:

A remarkable study of the zombie-condition traced back to its original vector, an infected mammoth, that unwittingly shambled across the primeval hunting grounds of our ancient ancestors and into infamy, History is Dead tracks mankind’s most gruesome affliction as it spreads, raising our dead across the continents, bridging cultures, and shedding light on ancient mysteries, like the Celtic peat bog-mummies in “The Gingerbread Man”, and crossing paths with iconic greatness, in “The Loaned Ranger” and “The Summer of 1816″. The zombie proves itself to be an effective weapon of war, in “The Barrow Maid”, as well as a lover worth dying for, in Carole Lanham’s wonderfully necrotic zombie-romance, “The Moribund Room”.

A brilliant theme and an outstanding collection, History is Dead may arguably be one of the most noteworthy horror anthologies of 2007, and surely a contender for this year’s Stoker Award nominations.

Anyone read this one yet???

I was hanging out with some friends over the weekend and this book was brought up in conversation. It looks pretty sweet, but i have yet to read it. If you’ve read it, post a comment… let us know what you thought about it.

On amazon it looks like it may be worth picking up. Its $7.77 new… interesting price, yaaaaaa.
