ZombieMall.com Blog

What I am about to share with you is the very core of what ZombieMall.com is all about.  Part of our mission, aside from our retail store, is to help promote the lesser known people of the horror genre, be they authors or be they film directors.  Today I am pleased to share with you one hell of a vision from an artist who has set up shop over on Etsy.

44chicken is to whom I refer.  Odd name?  Perhaps.  What’s it got to do with horror?  How freaked out would you be if you were being chased by 44 undead chickens???!  Actually I’m not too sure of the name chosen, but I digress..

The Already Dead shop is full of all kinds of neat items.  There are Zombie Cherubs complete with glitter wings and a gaze that shows you he is wishing of chomping brains.  There is the Day of the Dead No Smoking sign (and I’m not talking about the movie here, I’m talking about the actual Holiday celebrated).  There is the Metal Crucifix with a skeletal Jesus figure, and oh so much more.

What I’ve really come to like about the artowrk presented is it all has a very New Orleans style and look to it.  Not quite voodoo, but it’s all vibrant and full of color and texture.  The prices are more than reasonable, in fact my biggest issue is deciding exactly what I want to get.  I know I need to get my ass in gear and get something ordered because, well, it’s artwork and once it’s gone it’s gone!  Each item is unique and one of a kind, so if you do find something you like, you’d better jump on it!

44chicken is the person behind the Already Dead shop.  Certainly go by and check out her shop.  She can also be found on Facebook, Twitter, Blogspot, Artfire, and if you happen to be in New York, you can see them at Sunday Love on Grand Street in Brooklyn!

The biggest thing I can say, keep Already Dead on your favorites list and check back daily, you never know what new goodies you will find that she has added!

PAIN

“Harry Shannon’s Pain is filled with razor-sharp wit and insights into human suffering that cut all the way to the bone. Highly recommended!” – Jonathan Maberry, NY Time Bestseller, and multiple Bram Stoker Award Winner

“Shannon’s impeccable pacing and eye for the terrifying will leave the reader shake and unsettled.” – Publisher’s Weekly

“Writing that is controlled, assured, and filled with the kind of spooky atmosphere that used to make you hide your head under the bedcovers on wind-wracked nights. – Tom Piccirilli

While doing some Tweeting on Twitter.. (that just sounds so funny to me) I came across one of the people I was following: Nerdoh.

What is Nerdoh you ask?

A site that carries Premium Movie Inspired Clothing!

Oh you were finished?  Well, then allow me to retort!

This is not just some shitty site with hand me down threads you’d find at a yard sale, no sir!

You lookin for a Titty Twister T-Shirt?  They ooooh!  Wait a second, let me get into character..

We got white shirts, black shirts, horror shirts, comedy shirts, sci-fi shirts, action shirts, ladies fit shirts, hoodies, hats, accessories, and more!  If they don’t have it, you don’t want it! If you can find better shirts than that.. wear it!

Danny Trejo sporting a Titty Twister Tee!

This place has more selection than I can shake a stick at!  We’re talkin Conan the Barbarian, Animal House, Monster Joe’s, Friday the 13th, From Dusk till Dawn (as seen above), Raiders of the Lost Ark, Batman, The Crow, hell I can go on and on!  Instead why don’t you just head on over and check em out!

They offer sizes from Small to XXL.  They also have a section for Special Offers.  In there you will find some Tees that are on discount as well as (shhh!  some secret links to their FaceBook page for a FREE drawing!).

Here is a blurb directly from their site:

Do you know the Titty Twister Bar? Mos Eisley Cantina? Maybe the Nostromo rings a bell? From The Big Kahuna Burger and Jack Rabbit Slims Diner made famous in Pulp Fiction to the Oscar nominated film about the adult movie industry – Boogie Nights with Jack Horner Productions (Making history on video tape). Shop Smart. Shop S-Mart – Bruce Campbell’s employer’s in Army of Darkness to Camp Crystal Lake where Jason Vorhees lurks. Stark Industries of Iron Man fame to the InGen Corporation who built Jurassic Park, Nerdoh creeps into the fictional realms of movie corporations, places and subtle references only the avid fan will know.

We also have quite a few famous personalities who like our subtle movie t-shirt designs. Jonathan Ross remarked that they were ‘cool shirts’, Tom Savini (actor and special effects guru) owns one of our From Dusk Till Dawn designs, Steve Niles (writer and graphic novelist of 30 Days of Night) has one in his wardrobe and super sexy actress,  Emily Booth cavorts in a Hellraiser skinny from time to time.

Nerdoh is based in the UK, but fear not!  They do ship to the US as well!  US Shipping is £3.50.  And if you live in the UK they offer FREE UK Shipping!

 

I had a chance to ask Phil over there at Nerdoh some questions:

ZM: What was your inspiration for the site?

Phil: Inspiration for the site? I like movie (especially horror) and could never find anything subtle enough (Freddys Knife Glove or Jasons Mask is to in your face), so decided to design some of our own. And it grew!

ZM: How long have you guys been around?

Phil: We have been around 3 years.

ZM: Are these transfer prints or…?

Phil: The shirts are all done to the highest quality, so they arent the cheapest at all, but they will last and last – none of this transfer rubbish. We screenprint everything on Super Premium, thick Tees.

ZM: Where all are you guys at on the internet?

Phil: We have a Facebook/nerdoh fan page where people can win a t-shirt EVERY week! Check out our NEWS and T-shirt Blogs (links on the site) where we give further information about  competitions running on the net. Shows we are doing, TV/Films our tees have been seen on etc etc – This info also goes on our FB fan page.

All I can say is check this place out!
