Unlike other shows who sneakily add special effects without you realising, The Walking Dead is so overtly gruesome and bloody and gore-y that we're completely aware that what we see is being spiced up with visual effects. Still, it's awesome to see how the effects are added. Stargate Studios shows off the reel of effects it worked on for this past season 3 of The Walking Dead. Spoiler alerts, obviously. Read More >>

That's it, I'm moving to Canada. They know how to have fun. Even in politics! In Canada's House of Commons today, there was an incredible 'debate' about creating an international zombie strategy "so that a zombie invasion does not turn into a zombie apocalypse." Read More >>
What if the search for the 'God particle' inadvertently caused people to mutate. What if those mutated people suddenly got a lust for flesh, human flesh? Zombies? At CERN? Oh god, this is what the end of the world must look like. Read More >>
The zombie apocalypse would almost certainly be the saddest way for the human race to go. But is it actually possible for us to rise from the dead as a self-cannibalising horde of mindless killers? Well, yes and no. As ASAPScience explains, we might not ever actually come back from the dead and eat each other's brains, but a 28 Days Later-like zombie virus could potentially bring the whole human race down.

Sorry, kids. Pack it up. Those little wings do make you look like a fairy, and the wand is a nice touch, but we decided not to have the costume contest this year. Why not? Oh, because this zombie venom throat-mouth is the most ridiculous thing we've ever seen. Read More >>
It's almost time for kids to start getting their back-to-school gear in order, and even though this fantastic laser-engraved wooden machete ruler will most certainly be instantly confiscated by a teacher, you still need to send your children to school prepared for anything. Read More >>

Okay, enough of all the gadgets and gizmos that we regularly peddle in this here daily deal round-up – it’s all far too skewed in favour of the lonely individual who likes to lose themselves in a haze of technology. Read More >>

Just like Boardwalk Empire, The Walking Dead is a fake good show. All the style and swagger, none of the substance. It had its moment during season one but this season has been a snoozefest filled with yawns, farms and not enough walkers. But you know what's still great? The special effects. Read More >>

Rifles augmented with chainsaws designed to cut through zombie hordes are old hat, so when Guns & Gardens set about making theirs, they wanted it to be different. Cuter, more adorable, and more appealing to your stereotypical tweenaged girl. Read More >>
The zombie fad will soon be as old and tired as steampunk, but ridiculous creations like this electric chainsaw accessory designed to hang off the front of an AK-47 can still coax a smile out of me. Read More >>
Look, we've got enough problems as it is with walking corpses rising from the grave and trying to eat us. Last thing we need is someone crawling out of the ground a week after the fact just because they were really, really drunk. Read More >>
