In case you weren't ware, Season 2 of "The Walking Dead" is getting ready to assault us once again on February 12th. (I know! I'm excited too!) To help start drawing attention to this fact, the fine folks over at amctv.com put together this nifty interactive flip book showcasing the excellent zombie makeup work by KNFX.

It's been some time since I've mentioned it last, but you may remember that I have a third podcast with my friends Brother D and Need a Nickname Scott over at Mail Order Zombie. The show is called 1951 Down Place and it's dedicated to Hammer Horror! With the release of The Woman in Black coming from the newly re-birthed Hammer Studios this weekend, I figured it would be a good time to start sharing my love off Hammer with you all.

For years now, every time somebody says to me, "Do you watch Supernatural? I bet you'd LOOOVE Supernatural!" I always have to do that awkward song and dance and say, "Nah, I don't watch it. I'd watch it if they ever put it on Instant Watch." Well, time to eat my foot, because that time is now!

Gun company DoubleStar whipped up this specially modified AK-47 for some good old zombie slaying. It comes complete with chainsaw, special scopes and a bottle opener for that zombie slayer that could use a beer mid fight.

I have no idea who is responsible for this, but whoever you are? Thanks for the chuckle!

Author Craig Chenery has released a new reference guide to zombie flicks with a special eye on their special effects and gore! With this sub-genre going super nova over the last few years, I'm positive Craig covers at least a few zombie flicks you haven't heard yet!

From the cover blurb:

Remember the days before Clooney cared about Oscars?

I'm sure that any of our readers that are a fan of a good book from time to time are familiar with prolific author Brian Keene. He made his mark with some solid zombie novels and then branched out to monsters and more. Outside of a short film based on one of his stories called "The Ties that Bind", he hasn't had any of his properties turned into a full fledged movie as of yet. With his book "Ghoul" however that's all about to change!

Since the studio has come back to life in 2007, Hammer Studios have been hard at work putting out some quality content. High quality flicks such as "Let Me In" and the upcoming "The Woman in Black" help to prove that they mean business with their return to the big screen. With this news story over on the BBC this morning, Hammer is now planning to impress us even more with plans to restore thirty of their past horror classics for Blu-ray release!

Every now and then, I stumble across a book in the most unlikely of ways. If you're a listener of the Bloody Good Horror podcast, you've probably heard us mention that we mess about on TheChive while recording. It's a photo blog if you're not familiar, filled with everything from goofy pictures to cool HD stuff and everywhere in between. On one such day while browsing through a post, I saw the cover posted there to the left (I think, it's all fuzzy now) and the word 'horror' and it caught my attention.
