The Curio

I’ve not even seen “Diary” yet. Still, sounds encouraging for all disciples of Romero.

Diary of the Dead 2 Confirmed at horroryearbook.com:

“The Hollywood Reporter reports that Artfire and Romero-Grunwald Productions are ready to make a Diary of the Dead sequel. Part 2 will pick up right where the first film ended. The survivors have to fight their way through zombies to make it to a remote island. Which we all know from the Dawn remake and The Zombie Survival Guide, may not be such a safe place anyway”

Witchcraft goes mainstream

“Witches are getting more and more in demand. People want a pagan wedding,” said Maxine Sanders, high priestess of the sacred mysteries and a promoter of the modern nature-based witchcraft movement of Wicca.

The classic Halloween story…

Halloween zombie mistaken for murder victim:

“BERLIN (Reuters) - Passengers on a German train mistook a Halloween reveller dressed up as a gore-covered zombie for a murder victim and called the police.”

David Shayler says he’s the Messiah, and he believes it. And he even mentions Monty Python. Join me for a look at the extraordinary claims of a former British Intelligence officer.

Judge for yourselves.

Of course, this has nothing to do with the real reason people book a night in a budget hotel, does it?

Increase in naked sleepwalking at UK hotels:

“A surge in naked sleepwalking among guests has led one of Britain’s largest budget hotel groups to re-train staff to handle late-night nudity.”

I don’t know why, but when I see this kind of work, I’m captivated by it. It’s small, but on a big scale. Or maybe the other way around. Interesting, clever and slightly disturbing all at the same time. It reminds me of the snowglobes I saw ages back.

You can buy signed prints too.

Strangely engaging.

Running from camera: 

“The rules are simple: I put the self-timer on 2 seconds, push the button and try to get as far from the camera as I can.”

It’s nearly Halloween. Time to start thinking about how you will cope with the inevitable Zombie invasion.  I like the idea of taking refuge in a Costco. Plenty of booze and tinned food.

Amazing. I mean, he doesn’t even look like a serial killer.

BBC NEWS | World | Europe | Russian serial killer convicted:

“A Russian shop assistant has been found guilty of 48 murders, which he recorded on a chessboard.”

Not safe for work.

Zombie Sex Guide:

“If you’re a zombie into S/M and kink, you’re out of luck. Zombies have no pain receptors, so you can be flogged till your flesh falls off and not feel a thing.”
