As the name of this article says, May is Zombie Awareness Month. Since the how and why of this event have already been explained, let’s skip straight to the good stuff. We have plenty of special articles planned for this month (including some free goodies) and hopefully you’ll stick around to check them all out. In the meantime, here are some older zombie-related articles for you to enjoy:

Farewell, Zombie Awareness Month

by

Although I think our selection of zombie-related posts was wider than last year’s offers, I must admit that our grand total of zombie-related content was not quite as large as I had hoped. Granted, many of us were very busy this month, but I still felt kind of bad about it. So I thought make like Atomic Mystery Monster and close things out with two zombie-themed videos. Our first selection should be familiar to anyone who stuck around after the end credits of the VHS release of Return of the Living Dead Part II, thanks to a Youtube user by the name of deviancy:

Ah, memories. I recall a similar ad at the end of Surf Nazi Must Die. Sadly, Movie Tees seems to no longer be in business, so you’ll have to hit ebay if you want one of those sweet shirts.

You might remember Zombie! from their appearances on our podcast and our most recent Valentine’s Day post. In this video from KillerKungPhoo, the song “Meet Me in the Graveyard” is coupled with a lengthy photo montage of female fans in zombie makeup to form what I think is the perfect way to close out Zombie Awareness Month 2012:

It’s Zombie Awareness Month!

by

It’s that time of the year again! Some of you might wonder why bother setting aside a month for zombies or why it’s happening in May instead of October. As the Zombie Research Society have already explained why they opted for May (I suppose the presumed connection to Halloween is unavoidable given the month they picked), I thought I would touch on why ZAM is so important.

In America, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention uses the idea of surviving a zombie apocalypse as a way of making education about real-life diseases and quarantines more entertaining and accessible for people. Similarly, a group of horror enthusiasts have pooled their resources to create Zombie Squad, a “disaster preparedness and community service” that both educates the public about preparing for/surviving disasters and helping raise money for charitable organizations. As you can see, they’ve done a lot of good since the squad’s creation in 2003. Hopefully this is enough to encourage you to check them out (and send some money their way during their next fundraiser).

We here at Gravedigger’s Local 16 have some zombie-themed content planned for release over the course of the month, along with some non-zombie material to act as a palate cleanser of sorts. Until then, please enjoy this collection of vintage GdL16 zombie goodness:

The Slide
Vile Verses

Happy Zombie Awareness Month!

You read that title correctly, it is indeed Zombie Awareness Month once again. Despite Weird Jon being a complete sourpuss about it, the rest of the Local is feeling more festive (though we did meet him halfway on the podcast). In addition to the various zombie-related articles that have been posted recently (or will be posted later in the month) we wanted to do a little something extra. So besides letting you know that the Zombie Research Society’s Facebook page is giving away copies of their book That’s Not Your Mommy Anymore every day in May, here is a quick collection of vintage zombie-related articles:

Political Zombies
Zombie Bongo Limbo
Batman: The Stone King
