Upcoming Horror: World War Z

I can't believe I haven't coverd this yet.. but who is excited for the release of "World War Z"?

I've yet to read the book, but the movie looks pretty interesting.

I feel like it looks like a fresh, different take on zombies. And by that I mean the zombies don't look like your average Romero slow walking brain dead zombies.


Synopsis:  “The story revolves around United Nations employee Gerry Lane (Pitt), who traverses the world in a race against time to stop the Zombie pandemic that is toppling armies and governments and threatening to decimate humanity itself. Enos plays Gerry’s wife Karen Lane; Kertesz is his comrade in arms, Segen.“ - Bloody Disgusting

 In theaters June 31 from director Marc Forster, the zombie epic stars Brad Pitt, Mireille Enos, Daniella Kertesz, James Badge Dale, Matthew Fox, and David Morse.

Today In Horror History

May 22, 1972
On this day in Horror History, Maximilian Michael Brooks was born. Author of The New York Times Bestselling novel ‘The Zombie Survival Guide’ and ‘World War Z’, Brooks has furthered zombie related literature to unimaginable popularity in the last decade. An inspiration too many of demographics, the survival aspect of Brooks’ first novel would challenge in a comedic vein, for everyone to take the impending zombie outbreak with a little more severity. Also inspiring an upcoming blockbuster from Plan B Entertainment, World War Z is set to hit theatres June 21st. The son of legendary actor and film-maker Mel Brooks, Max will forever be a testament to the reinvigoration of zombies in popular culture.

“The only rule that ever made sense to me I learned from a history, not an economics, professor at Wharton. "Fear," he used to say, "fear is the most valuable commodity in the universe." That blew me away. "Turn on the TV," he'd say. "What are you seeing? People selling their products? No. People selling the fear of you having to live without their products." Fuckin' A, was he right. Fear of aging, fear of loneliness, fear of poverty, fear of failure. Fear is the most basic emotion we have. Fear is primal. Fear sells.”-Max Brooks
