Intro to Zombie Studies
Zombies are the new vampires.
Just noticed that the University of Alabama has this itunes U podcast course. "why the familiarity of zombies makes them scarier and more fun to study" including: "She's Not Your Mother Anymore" and "The Living as Minority." All free, of course. I love da internet! and my ipods! also, a quick Google of "zombies" throws up some pretty interesting stuff. If you're into that.

Academic studies seem to like the subject. Here's one from Canada that I remember from the BBC news.

What about a zombie vaccine? Sort of the opposite of the vampire effect. You take a bit of the Zombie's blood and make a vaccine out of it. Or do zombies have blood?

Get the Zombie Survival Guide.
Study it. Live it. Survive an infestation.

I wonder, is the popularity of zombies and vampires an attempt to escape the really scary things that are all around us?

Wait- As a self-professed zombie, I refuse to align myself with any political party that has no BRAINS!
