The DVD release has some really cool extras that I thought I would call out.  They are listed below:

MySpace Contest winners
Entitled ‘The Final Day’, ‘Deader: Living through Chemistry’, ‘Opening on the Living Dead’, ‘& Teller’ and ‘Run for your Life’, these are the winners from the ‘Diary of the Dead’ MySpace site. 

If you pick up the movie at Best Buy, you can get a special extra book “the Zen of Zombie” or something like that.  I saw it in the BB circular this weekend.  They are also releasing another anniversary edition of Night of the Living Dead…..somebody needs to stop beating that movie to death….

In my conversations with Chadinator this morning he sent a picture to me and I thought it would be the perfect picture to start the first Zombie Chatter caption contest. The winner gets a virtual pat on the back and a little self-confidence.

Good luck have fun

This video should serve up some inspiration for Chadinator’s Birthday Mayhem at Medieval Times.  Meet you at the Castle on Saturday night Bitches!!!
