A comment by geek Ed Thurlow ( Zombie expert and designer of the website "Terror 4 fun") was reassuring as it was amusing : he stated "a zombie invasion in Leicester was highly unlikely."
I will leave you with a real horror movie clip.
This one will strike terror into the very soul of Tom Stephenson!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry Thomas!
The video clip was surely a nightmare. Like you I am intrigued by the wave of zombie everything everywhere even my village on Halloween I am prepared to wager.
ReplyDelete...and there's a new Brad Pitt Zombie film coming next year...around us, there will evidently (according to the posters) be zombie invasions on the 27th, 28th, 29th October...tickets £28. Confused.
ReplyDeleteClean up in aisle one!
ReplyDeleteZombies have invaded our small city. We were enjoying dinner with friends at the local pub when a group of them were suddenly plastered against the window by our table. Fortunately, the city has Zombie Patrol and we were saved from our impending doom.
Happy Halloween.
Well...at least the zombies give us a break from the Twilight vampire/werewolf craze...
ReplyDeletewake me when this whole ghastly holiday is over...yawn!
ReplyDeleteRelax Tom - most of them were undoubtedly Riunite and Boone's Farm. It was Wisconsin [Go Bears!]
ReplyDelete[and John, I'll keep your brother in my prayers]
ReplyDeleteIf you look carefully at the last film you can just make TS out at the back of the shop, feverishly trying to dry the place out with a straw...
ReplyDeleteLeicester has already had an invasion od zombies. When asked later about the zombie risk, the local councillor in charge said " Urgghhhhhhnnnn"
I think there's a zombie in the boot of my car.
ReplyDeleteShoot it in the head Cro!
ReplyDeletetake a photo cro
ReplyDeleteafter you shoot it in the head that is
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the zombie invasion was just in American. I must confess I have watched many of the movies as of late even the one about zombies on a plane. Yes zombies have gone to far.
ReplyDeleteThe last words of Mr Kurtz, surely hyperbole when it comes to an albeit ghoulish Kinderfest, John?
ReplyDeleteI was robbed a few weeks ago so it is only now that I have internet access again. It will take me a little longer to reset my email servers with new passwords etc having hurriedly cancelled them after the theft so I can't read my emails but at least I can read the Torygraph on line and my favourite blogs.
Speaking of Mr Kurtz, by the way, and assuming you have read Joseph Conrad's 'Heart of Darkness', I can thoroughly recommend Michela Wrong's 'In the Footsteps of Mr Kurtz'. I am sure you would find it very interesting. If you have not yet read Conrad's account of the horrors under Leapold in Congo, you should read that first and then read Wrong, making the order Right, so to speak, and illustrating, sadly, how little has changed.
ReplyDeleteAs it is my birthday on Hallowe'en John, I try to avoid the horror stuff - getting old is bad enough!
ReplyDeleteI only saw one guy, John. Marcia was away up north again, across the Congo, so I was alone in the house but he naffed off pretty sharpish when I came into the lounge. He nicked my laptop, my modem, my camera and my cellphone. On her return, Marcia has so far recovered the laptop and the phone and today we bought another modem but all this will be the subject of the next entry in the diary of an involountary expatriate!
ReplyDeleteOne doesn't have to look too too far to see zombies nowadays!
ReplyDeleteIn the sophomoric humor category, the zombie kickball clip on youtube makes me laugh. I wouldn't mind giving it a try myself!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Melodie's comment!
If not for the glass shards, I would have been sopping up the mess with some bread and cheese.
ReplyDeleteSorry for the Halloween invasion. No, not really. It's tit for tat. Thanks to your Dickens, we now have Christmas crap in stores even before the Halloween candy hits the shelves.
That's a but weird, I was going to watch "Shaun of the dead" tonight. Like you, when Himself is away, I watch rubbish DVDs, (but without the flasher-pants).
ReplyDeleteI don't "get" the whole Zombie thing personally.....
ReplyDeleteGill in Canada
No zombies in Sloughhouse. My son and his friends are going to have a Viking party. They made their swords and shields last weekend (they're a bunch of ex-Waldorf kids), they're going to drag tables around the firepit and eat roasted turkey legs with their bare hands, and slurp ale. Zombies are so depressing in comparison.
ReplyDeleteZombies irritate the hell out of me. No one works, they take everyones' old dead meat, they never wash or dress up. Too much like my in-laws for me to be amused.
ReplyDeleteHere's a funny thing - a good friend of mine is actually playing a zombie in the new Brad Pitt movie. Even funnier, it was filmed in Glasgow - even though it's set in the States.
ReplyDeletethis wicked witch of the west doesn't do zombies...the lost wine was devastatingly horrifying and the different view of Mary Poppins disturbingly eerie!
ReplyDeletethoughs and prayers for your brother
Haven't noticed any Zombie excess here, though my daughter turns up at the dinner table with a blood-soaked fingerless hand or ghoulish face that she has spent the whole afternoon in her bedroom creating.
ReplyDeleteThat wine spill! Ye gods, that is just plain careless. It happened over and over again in my local supermarket (and many others) with the worst of our big earthquakes.
I tell, you earthquakes are worse than Zombies.
I always laugh when the buses pull out of school and the principal pulls out the walkie-talkie and says "Bring out the walkers". The parents already look like zombies to begin with, all stood around, morose-looking and blank. I would love that show. I hope we get it here eventually.
ReplyDeleteAs for the wine... I am now fully dressed in black and in mourning.
Wow, that Wisconsin (BBC)video was awful!! Strange thing is, I never saw it on the news here in the USA.
ReplyDeleteOh John, can't believe you've stooped to the Halloween peer pressure. Oh well, you're just mortal afterall.hehe.
I was wondering, if there was a zombie invasion of Leicester, how would anyone know?
ReplyDelete"I am at saturation point with goolies at the moment"
ReplyDeleteThe badgers and car drivers in your village may be thinking the same!
Hi John: I'm not a big fan of the zombie genre...and I never dress up at halloween...I know I'm such a party-pooper!
ReplyDeleteStill I was very scared watching your video post...so I'm going to run out first thing tomorrow to check the shelving units at our local wine store!
I too enjoy The Walking Dead-those zombies can move!!! xo
ReplyDeleteI love spooky but Texas Chainsaw Massacre ruined me for horror at a mere 17. I'm still terrified of meat hooks and deep freezers.
ReplyDeleteI thought vampires were all the rage. Perhaps the zombies finally got smart and unionized in order to carve out a bigger piece of the evil pie? (Organization has always been their biggest challenge.) Good for them. Vampires are elitist and deserve a set down.
I'll be allright... Joe has a plan for when the Zombies invade !
ReplyDeleteHe couldn't wait for this to come to channel five and has been watching it on Youtube !
How does Andrew Lincon keep his uniform so clean ?
The last 2 episodes of Season 1 and first episode of Season 2 of "The Walking Dead" were filmed just across the street from my office in Atlanta ... of all the "official" emails we get in a day, I had to chuckle at the one from the property manager alerting us that we may hear gunshots and see "zombies", but not to be alarmed, as they were not real. WHEW, good thing they sent that email out!
