THE DEAD TIMES
DEAD ARE COMING...
Zombies come in all shapes and sizes - no one is safe from the undead hordes. The living dead ignore race, gender, skin colour, background, fitness and many more things our politically-driven countries often place too high a price on. Zombies do not discriminate, meat is meat, and, as if to prove that point, Zombies will even chase and infect non-human animals in some contexts.
Geological location holds no sway either. Zombies inhabit deserts, stroll across impassable terrain, wander aimlessly amongst buildings, shuffle into shopping malls and even skulk around funeral parlours - there is no escape from pursuers who feel nothing and need nothing.
This ubiquitous nature of Zombies (and their often bland features) has led thousands of amateur artists, hopeful sketchers and talented Zombie fans to take pen to paper - virtual or otherwise - and create beautiful visages of these illogical creatures. Housed primarily on the Internet, the best of these depictions of horror will earn a place on the joyous grey walls of this virtual gallery - a link to their original location being preserved for authenticity. All will have a place for you to leave a comment to share your opinion. Type responsibly, people of all ages use this site so please keep comments polite and minimise harsh-language. Any comments not obeying these rules will be removed and incinerated in case of infection.
Has a worthy masterpiece shambled away from my sight? Have you got a piece of your own creation that you think deserves a spot on the virtual wall of grandeur? Shatter the murky glass of my ineptitude and make your way to the Contact page to tell me of your treasured findings.

28 Years Later concept poster | As I'm sure a lot of you are, I am super excited that director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland are, after more than two decades, returning to the franchise they started with 28 Days Later.

Zombie Uprising | This picture is pretty off-beat to grace the virtual walls of our fetid website of undead horror - I usually try to have a specific theme or premise behind the image; a Zombie horde or the Zombified version of a well-known, fictional character, whether...

Death and Zombies | This amusing picture caught my attention this week while exploring the morbid pits of the thing they call facebook. It shows Death, The Grim Reaper, scythe in hand warning a putrid meatbag (read: human) that no mortal can escape death - it is... Click for More | 09/07/2023 |

Memorable Zombies #10 - Mohawk Zombie | I'm definitely scraping the bottom of the brain barrel to include this fine fellow from Return of the Living Dead: Necropolis as a memorable Zombie - the film itself being a bit of a shambles in terms of quality. Indeed, Mowhawk Zombie is only in... Click for More | 28/05/2023 |

George A. Romero's Resident Evil Documentary poster | I love this slightly-cheesy poster for upcoming film George A. Romero's Resident Evil: A Documentary.

Memorable Zombies #9 - Fido | To be honest, the memorable Zombie in this week's update is a bit of an unusual choice; I mean, everybody into the living dead will know about Bub and Tarman but Fido - he is definitely an odd one. Portrayed by Sir Billy Connolly (his Zombie acting... Click for More | 26/09/2021 |

Memorable Zombies #8 - Flyboy | Flyboy is cruelly overlooked in most lists of memorable Zombies, probably because, for three quarters of the only Zombie movie he is in - none other than the legendary original Dawn of the Dead - Flyboy is actually a survivor; one of the "good...

Memorable Zombies #6 - Rochelle Glass | Rochelle Glass is a Zombie from George A. Romero's and Daniel Kraus' wonderful Zombie book, The Living Dead (that's why I don't have an accurate picture).

Memorable Zombies #5 - Clown Zombie | Clown Zombie from Zombieland is fairly mundane on first inspection; he is a Zombie that was a clown before Zombification.

Memorable Zombies #4 - Wormboy | This Zombie, taken from the 1979 movie Zombie Flesh Eaters, is a true undead Zombie - one of the originals, in the style defined by George "Godfather of the Dead" Romero.

Memorable Zombies #2 - Tarman | Tarman, memorable Zombie from Return of the Living Dead, is my favourite Zombie to ever grace the silver screen; he just looks so happy to be a Zombie, I mean, yeah, he's dead but that doesn't mean he can't still enjoy himself.
