Podcast Episode 1 : George Romero and Zombies

With the zombie call in full swing we thought we’d launch Astounding Radio with a discussion of George Romero and Zombies. While missed by many film circles Romero’s work was ground breaking and shaped the future of film making,, story telling, and of course the modern obsession with zombies.  Dawn of the Dead is an underrated master piece, and Martin is disturbing beyond words. If you haven’t seen his films, or still need to see some of them we’ve gathered  them altogether Here.

Fast Zombies Suck

While you’re busy writing your zombie stories we thought we’d share a short film with you, to maybe get your creative juices flowing. For your consumption The Astounding Outpost presents Fast Zombies Suck, a short film by Brian Keene. We want to thank Keene for writing the Rising, and of course making his movie free on YouTube.

Lastly, George Romero, we miss you and your slow zombies.
