Zombie of the month

Wow am I late with this month's zombie. I think the excuse I will use is that my work is blocking all our non-work Internet access so I can't update this as easy seeing as the calendar is at work. Ok, so technically blogger isn't blocked but with everyone watching the Internet usage closely right now I probably shouldn't be blogging from work anyway even if it is just to do the zombies.

One of the freakiest and most disturbing things in horror movies for me is closely related to this month's zombie. Evil children of any kind for some reason just plain freak me out. Whether they be demons, zombies, girl's stuck in wells or dybbuks (see below) they all give me nightmares. So here goes nothing, the Child Zombie!

Identifying Marks - Sunken eyes; discolored flesh; open wounds; delayed motor response; limited speech capability (i.e., low growls and moans)

Origin - Cosmic radiation; hell runneth over

Gore Factor - Particularly upsetting

Intelligence - Low; manipulative

Mobility - Slow with long-range roaming capabilities; lures victims

Hot Spots - Churches; abandoned schools; parks

Danger Rating - 11

I can't say I've ever heard of zombies created by cosmic radiation. I'm, pretty sure that's how Marvel superheroes are created so maybe the author of this got confused. Then again maybe there was a zombie X-Men or something. This month comes at a good time since I just finally got around to watching the movie The Unborn. Unfortunately that movie sucked. But at least the kid was freaky. Who cares how awful the movie was if that kid remained in my dreams for days to come? He technically wasn't a zombie but a dybbuk but close enough in my book.
