No doubt an astute visitor picked up onmy fondness for zombie movies and decided to send me a gift. I say this, because I received The Zombie Survival Guide : Complete Protection from the Living Dead in the mail today. I say someone, because I have no idea who, and I did not even know such a book existed. The book is a parody of a real survival guide written by Max Brooks, the son of Mel Brooks. Well, at least I am assuming it really is a parody, from looking at the seriousness (if you can call this serious) of the book you would assume it was the real thing.
I have no idea who sent me this book and I was a little weirded out when I opened the envelope the book came in. The book is worded like a real survival guide with no initial hint it is anything other than what it appears. I immediately looked up the book on Amazon, and the book has some good reviews, so I think I will get a kick out of it and prepare me for any battle against the living dead.
While on the subject of zombies, I want to second what PsychoPhil blogged and what The Zombie Survival Guide confirms. Zombies do not run and sprint super-humanly! When I watched Dawn of the Dead the zombies appeared to run about 30 miles per hour at times. Not always, but at certain points of the movie. I like zombie movies, because they creep me out and making the zombies run like that, just creeped me out more. Let's stick to the zombie facts! Maybe I need a "zombie" category. So, who sent it?
