Zombie Head Cookie Jar

Zombie Head Cookie JarDo you think that if zombies had enough presence of mind to cook, that they’d bake things out of brains? We can imagine there being zombie bakeries, where they whip up brain-shaped cupcakes with frosting made from blended parietal lobe. (Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. It really adds a certain zing to cream cheese frosting. Way better than nutmeg, IMNSHO.) And of course, there’d have to be chocolate chip cookies with chunks of medulla oblongata. OMG, delish. Are you hungry all of a sudden? We are… Just crack open this zombie head, reach inside, and grab some cookies. We recommend at least 3. You don’t taste the first one, the second one is good but leaves you hungry, and the third one is the most satisfying. Maybe four cookies if you’re extra hungry, but five is right out. You want to stay fit enough to do your cardio (rule #1). Product Description Ceramic cookie jar, perfect for cookies, Halloween candy, brains Lift off the top of his head to reach in for cookies – if you dare! Possibly scary enough to keep your kids out of your stash Dimensions: About 9″ tall, 7″ wide (at widest point)

Warm Bodies Official Trailer #1

Okay, once upon a time, when ZombieSlam was very young, we reviewed Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion.  It was warm and cold, dead and alive, loving and completely unfeeling.  It was everything a film about a zombie falling in love should have been.  Now, I am happy to say that after a year and a half waiting for news, it will be in theaters February 1st, 2013.  What is that, right in time for Valentines?  Oh yes.  I already have a date.

A little AOD for the Holidays

my boomstick

We love Impact Merchandising.  Its true, and must be said, aloud, on a regular basis.  But why?  Because they have a bunch of amazing Army of Darkness shirts that we adore. Because they don’t know HOW to produce a poor quality shirt?  Or maybe because the designs they put together fill an intense need for us to be both slightly geeky AND artistic?  I’ll take that D) All of the above.

Today, I’m talking about an Orange Army Of Darkness design that features our hero Ash, artfully placed, weapons at the ready, proudly proclaiming that “This Is My BOOMSTICK!”.  We love the design because really, how can you not?  (Unless you hate AOD, in which case, you’ve come to the wrong site and I will now initiate an IP block for both our sake)

The shirt itself is fitted 30/1 cotton with high quality screen printing.  I cannot stress enough: the material this shirt is made from is a HUGE factor in us loving it.  Guys: Know that shirt you have in your closet that you’ve had for a really long time, and you can’t bring yourself to toss it out because you have a thousand great memories in it.  Its been washed a thousand times, the design is starting to fade, but its soft, comfortable and you adore it?  This is that, minus the fading.

Ladies: Know that shirt he has in his closet?  You wouldn’t want to be seen in public in it, but you make it a practice to kidnap it and hold it for ransom at night because it is just SO soft, comfortable, and reminds you of him?
This is that shirt.  With a cool design.

Zombie Survival Kit Lunch Box

Zombie Survival Kit Lunch Box

I have a small hole in my arm right now.  It could be a really large spider bite, or it could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship with a new undead lifestyle.  Who knows?

Anyways, how cool is this?  Zombie Survival Kit Lunch Box.  Metal box with a plastic handle, design on all sides.  Big enough to fit your lunch, or a med-kit  or a few chunks of zombie bait.   You may need that bait.

Sinful Spiderweb Kitchen Apron


While we tend to enjoy the idea that Halloween should be a year-round happening, including over the oh-so-well merchandised Christmas season, we do still cling to a few of our own Christmas traditions.  One of those traditions that we love so well involves sugar, flour, butter, eggs, vanilla extract and a kitchen so filled with delicious scents it pulls you back to the days of past.  At the same time, we are also put out our Cthulhu ornaments, offer our holiday guests keys to the Bates Motel for sleeping arrangements, cut our cookies into the shape of tombstones, and hang wreathes adorned with faux-bloody entrails.  Just how we roll.

So today, with Holiday baking in full-swing, we are playing Martha Spew-art in an adorable Spiderweb Kitchen apron by Sin In Linen.  It sits about knee-high (on most of us) has a cute layered look near the bottom   It features a catch-all pocket with a black bow embellishment and ties at the top and bottom  making the size adjustable, as there is nothing worse for a busty gal then an apron that doesn’t adjust at the top.

You can find the apron and a host of other spiderweb themed kitchen help at Sin In Linen, all of which are on my personal Holiday wish list.  (Table size: 52″ x 70″, just sayin’)

Build-a-Zombie 2013 Paper Craft Calendar

Build-a-Zombie 2013 Paper Craft CalendarWhy do we like zombies so? Let us count the ways. Better yet, let us write down the ways we like zombies on days corresponding to the reason we like zombies. Like this: zombies don’t like going to work – well, we’ll write that on every Saturday; and: zombies love eating hearts – so, we’ll write that on February 14. Hey, while we’re at it, why don’t we write it on our new Build-a-Zombie 2013 Paper Craft Calendar? But this just isn’t any ordinary calendar. No sir. It features a different zombie design each month – with a paper craft version for you to build! So, the Build-a-Zombie 2013 Paper Craft Calendar is a whole year of zombie fun.

You won’t have anything to look forward to building, but you will be able to start world domination sooner. Oh the decisions! Either way, you’ll have fun in planning 2013 and building zombies once you snag yourself a Build-a-Zombie 2013 Paper Craft Calendar! Build-a-Zombie 2013 Paper Craft Calendar Each month features a different zombie design – and a corresponding paper craft zombie for you to cut out and construct.
