If this isn’t the coolest idea as far as must have zombie stuff,  I don’t know what is! Hot off the presses from MTV Geek at the 2012 toy fair, this zombie DVD case will hold  a special edition Blu-Ray from The Walking Dead. To learn more, read on!

You know what we can never have enough of? The rotting heads of freshly decapitated zombies, that’s what! They are not only versatile when decorating your home, but can really add a touch of class to any joint! That’s why we’re excited to bring you this exclusive first look at AMC’s “The Walking Dead” Season 2 DVD case from our friends at McFarlane Toys! This version of the case, featuring a screwdriver-skewered head atop the show’s logo, will be available with the Special Edition Blu-Ray. While comparing it to the Blu-Ray packaging hidden in the neck means that this sucker isn’t quite life-size, the sheer grossness of the thing totally makes up for it! Just look at those teeth! The prototype for the case will be featured at the McFarlane toys booth during Toy Fair, along with a number of other zombie-related goodies. And it’s all just in time for the eagerly awaited second half of season 2!

Zombies: A Living History The History Channel will premiere Zombies: A Living History tonight, October 25, 2011, at 8pm. The two-hour documentary will explore the origins of zombie myths and lore, from the Viking Age to the Black Death in Europe, both of which spawned legends of the dead walking the earth, and all the way up to the present day fears of a zombie apocalypse. You can watch the trailer for this program here below. Featured will be many authors of zombie fiction including Max Brooks, J.L. Bourne, Jonathan Mayberry and Roger Ma, as well as Daniel W. Dreznor, professor of international politics at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, and Dr. Steven Schlozman, psychiatrist on the faculty of at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School and author of the fiction book The Zombie Autopsies. Information about the program is strangely missing from the History Channel’s website, except that it is listed in their TV schedule with no clickable links, but more info can be found on the show’s Facebook page. Here’s a chilling quote from there: “Since the beginning of time they have embodied our deepest fears and today their power to frighten us is more potent than ever before. They are the monster that history cannot kill.”

Finally! …. let the countdown commence! 2 days zombie fans until the premier of the Walking Dead season 2!  Here’s a new trailer from AMCTV’s website.
