I don’t take much stock in sites like I Write Like where they analyze your writing and match it up with some other famous writer, but it’s fun to see what they come up with. I finished a zombie short story a couple of weeks ago and ran the first page through, and this is [...]

Following is the red band trailer for Robert Rodriguez’s Machete starring Danny Trejo. Um, not work safe.

Rappelling out a window with a dude’s intestines? I’m there!

AMC is producing a TV series based on The Walking Dead, and a teaser was screened in San Diego this weekend. Someone in attendance recorded it and posted it to YouTube:
