Zombies!

nom, nom, nom

What is going on with zombies lately?  It seems everywhere we go, zombies are on the collective brain (pun, VERY MUCH intended) of our fellow Philadelphians, and other places across the globe. A few examples:

-the well reviewed and current reading project of one of our staffers, “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies from the fine folks over at Quirk Books, right here in Philly.

-the popularity of video games such as Left 4 Dead, Fallout 3 and zombie killing games in general,

-The wonderful, flesh eating creators of the Philly Zombie Crawl putting on a  summer Zombie Beach Party (which was last weekend).

-several of my blogging cohorts have mentioned “zombie apocalypse training” including one of my favorite crafty women from across the pond, Nicky

Now, don’t get us wrong, we’ve got nothing against our undead brethern; “Shaun of the Dead”  is one of our favorite movies of all time!  And, zombie starts with the coveted “Z”!

And, now… the zombie plague has hit the stage!  From the Theatre Alliance of Greater Philadelphia:
