Remember, kids...

It's not "Gory Pinups" or "Bloody Pinups" - it's "Zombie Pinups". Please keep that in mind when submitting! A little blood on an otherwise unblemished complexion does not a zombie make.

Zombie Strippers!

2009-03-02T23:24:00.003-06:00

If you like Zombie Pinups, you'll *love* Zombie Strippers, a ZomCom that is as funny as it is gory. Highly recommended!

Partial Recovery

2009-01-15T17:04:00.001-06:00

After the killer server crash from this last weekend, I found a backup from a couple of years ago that at least has the original set of Zombie Pinups, which has been restored. I'll still have to add back everything else by hand, but it's a start.

Rising from the Grave

2009-01-14T01:50:00.002-06:00

On January 9th, 2009, the server that ZombiePinups.com was hosted on died a gruesome, horrible death. A few days later, in true zombie fashion, it rose from the dead. Also in true zombie fashion, it was significantly crippled - in this case, the gallery of pinups. Please be patient as we rebuild!

CHICAGO ZOMBIES ON ICE!

2008-12-08T22:43:00.001-06:00

Date: Sunday, December 14, 2008
Time: 2:30pm - 5:30pm
Location: McCormick Tribune Plaza & Ice Rink Millennium Park
Street: 55 N Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL

View Larger Map

So, you're off from school, work is boring, or you can't stand the throngs of rude people in the frenzy of Holiday Shopping.

You want to get out and DO something....but what?

Well, here it is.

December 14th at 2:30 in the afternoon, Kitty Zombie will be holding the first Zombies on Ice event at Millennium Park in downtown Chicago! Kitty has teamed up with http://www.chicagozombie.com/ and others to be named soon to bring you this fun and festive event.

Now, here is the kicker... we are going to try for the Guinness Book of World Records for most zombies ice skating at one time!

There will be swag, pictures, video, and of course, lots and LOTS of zombies!

Keep in mind this is a PUBLIC rink. Therefore, no dripping/oozing blood, etc. that will dirty up the ice. If we make a mess, we will be asked to leave, and the cops will become involved. We have good rapport with the police because of the success of Zombie March Chicago this summer, so let's not mess it up!

Zombie Pinup Calendar!

2008-11-05T22:15:00.002-06:00

Over the years I've discussed the idea of doing a Zombie Pinups calendar with a number of cohorts, but it never gets done due to time/money constraints.

In the best spirit of "You Snooze, You Lose", a group of enthusiastic artists and designers in San Francisco (the birthplace of the Zombie Pinup!) took the initiative earlier this year and produced a calendar that is far superior to anything I probably would have come up with.

Inspired by one of the ZPU online contests earlier in the year, this group set out to do photos to enter the contest, then the project evolved, and we all can reap the benefits! Go to http://www.myzombiepinup.com to see the grotesquely gorgeous results. Hurry! This is a limited edition item, and they've already sold half of them!

War and Social Upheaval Cause Spikes in Zombie Movie Production

2008-11-05T17:09:00.001-06:00

There's been a huge spike in the production of zombie movies lately, and many of them seem to be inspired by war. Everything from 28 Days Later to Zombie Strippers make explicit reference to wartime, as did seminal 1968 zombie flick Night of the Living Dead. Is there really a connection between zombie movies and social unrest? IO9.com decided to do some research and find out. Check out their results HERE.

World Zombie Day Outbreak Spreads to 52 Cities October 26 event to benefit food charities worldwide Pittsburgh, PA – September 8, 2008 – World Zombie Day has gone viral, infecting 52 cities in the US, Canada, Central America, Europe, Asia and Australia.

"The number of cities signing on has far exceeded our expectations", says organizer Mark Menold, who is also producer and host of the Pittsburgh-based television program The It’s Alive Show. "The response is overwhelming. We’re going to bring in substantial food donations as well as set another world record." Pittsburgh owns the current Guinness World Record™ for largest zombie gathering of 1,028 people set last year. "This year, we are going to add all of the zombies from each city to come up with one monstrous total so that everyone can say they were part of a world record", says Menold.

World Zombie Day, being held on Sunday, October 26, features zombie walks with accompanying food drives in participating cities. The hub of World Zombie Day will be a walk at the Monroeville Mall with a food drive benefiting the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. The Mall walk – which is part of the 2008 Zombie Fest – is at the site where George Romero zombie movie Dawn of the Dead was filmed. Zombie Fest is a free, all ages public fan festival celebrating the 30th anniversary of Dawn and all things zombie and will feature vendors, author panels with award winning writers, films, celebrity guests, bands, entertainment and interactive fan activities.
