Official Synopsis (Slashfilm)
Written & directed by Gareth Edwards
Starring Scoot McNairy (“In Search Of A Midnight Kiss”) and Whitney Able (“All The Boys Love Mandy Lane”)
Six years ago NASA discovered the possibility of alien life within our solar system. A probe was launched to collect samples, but crashed upon re-entry over Central America. Soon after, new life forms began to appear and grow. In an effort to stem the destruction that resulted, half of Mexico was quarantined as an INFECTED ZONE. Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain the massive creatures… Our story begins when a jaded US journalist (McNairy) begrudgingly agrees to find his bosses daughter, a shaken American tourist (Able) and escort her through the infected zone to the safety of the US border.
Magnolia Pictures’ genre arm Magnet will release the movie in New York and Los Angeles on October 29th 2010.
This movie looks EPIC, and what little I’ve seen of the creatures reminds me of H.P. Lovecrafts Cthulhu. Tentacled horrors from space anyone? Sign me up I want to see this movie.

Proof that I can draw cute cuddly things…. every once in a while.
June 8th, 2010 |Posted In: Uncategorized
I try not to do it to often, but every once in a while I end up drawing something that doesn’t have anything to do with living dead or my zombie webcomic.
I know! Weird!
It’s rare and I don’t make a habit out of it as you would not believe the peer pressure that is sometimes brought to bear on me to draw “Normal” things…. I’m not sure what “Normal” means, but I’m pretty sure it’s a synonym for “Boring as hell.”
Thank Cthulhu for my mutant superpower to completely not give a crap what people think about me!
I am grateful to be a constant disappointment to my friends and family.
(Sigh, contentment)
Yes this is a unicorn, but unlike most unicorns he has a heart of pure malice surrounded in bitter tears, on cold rainy nights you may hear his bone chilling screams as he hunts for the flesh of virgins…. I call him snuggles!
This is a self portrait, Great Cthulhu! I am one damn sexy man!
Look at them tentacles. I know what your thinking, ladies…. calamari?
If you live in Utah, and sadly I still do, you know exactly which book and commercial this is a parody of. I love the casual deadpan expression of the guy explaining that you’ll either “go mad from the forbidden knowledge… or you’ll be on your knees praying for a new dark age.”
Of course it’s so simple. Go out and get your own copy of the Necronomicon today.
Or if your feeling really insane you can follow My tutorial and make your own Necronomicon (Click here for pure awesomeness!!!) to read and go insane with. I am not responsible for any dark and terrible forces you may unleash in the process, however.
I love H.P. Lovecraft’s writings. The macabre mood, the weirdness, and the insanity of it really appeal to me. (You know when I say that outloud I sound really weird) So I had to take a break from the zombies to sketch his most famous character out. Dread Cthulhu… your so cuddly.
H.P. Lovecraft would be the man who in many people’s opinion has been the most influential on all of modern horror. He deeply affected me and my zombie fetish with his story “Herbert West—Reanimator.” I love this story and even though the movies aren’t so stellar I still love them too… Except for the third one. That was one was just @$$.
He is also the man who created the idea of the fictional book the “Necronomicon” which was used mainly as a prop in his stories, but some people to this day believe actually existed. (Cough.. cough.. my ex… cough) Sorry people that book you see at Barnes and Nobles in the Wicca section was written by two guys during the 70′s looking to make a buck.
I made my own Necronomicon for the heck of it… You can see my tutorial on the EXTRAS page
Read up on the man and get some of his work if you really enjoy some good horror stories.
