In a tribute to Bill Watterson’s immortal Calvin & Hobbes, animators Jim Frommeyer and Teague Chrystie have made this short display of Calvin’s disturbing (and near-classic) snowmen scenes.
Have “A Very Calvin & Hobbes Christmas.”
For more information as to the creation of the movie, check out this article over on Down in Front.

M1A1 by Gorillaz from the album of the same name starts out with the sounds of two scavengers calling out “Hello! Is anyone there?” from the beginning of (I think) Day of the Dead. Beyond that, it’s not really zombie-y, but hey, you don’t want to seem like you don’t have any braaaainnzzzzzz when it comes to music, do you?
You mentioned the Creepshow- I’ve always loved their little ditty, “Zombies Ate Her Brains”. In a similar vein, the Horrorpops have “Walk like a Zombie” and “Where They Wander” to their names.
Also, Jonathan Coulton, “Re: Your Brains”. Best Zombie song EVER.
I am so coopting this for my one of my Halloween mixes…
What, no Re: Your Brains by Jonathan Coulton?
Except for the original Night of the Living Dead, I’ve never understood the fascination with zombies. Still, a post that ties Harry Belafonte and the Ramones together is definitely on to something.
Hey, ho, let’s go!
Speaking of zombies and awesome music, Left 4 Dead 2 has several kick-ass southern rock songs by a fictitious band that are worthy of inclusion on any mixtape, even if they don’t specifically mention zombies by name.
@Snowkestrel–Jason and I decided early on that including songs that only sampled zombie movies would make the task of narrowing it down to 20 tracks nigh impossible, so, alas, no Gorrilaz.
@corvus–Definitely should have included a link to the Horrorpops in the caption for Zombina, no doubt–here’s “Walk Like a Zombie.”
@corvus and Tom–We were going for forgotten or lesser known zombie tracks, but Jonathan Coulton’s ditty is indeed something special. For those unfamiliar, check it out.
@RM–Yep, and I think the aforementioned Coulton number is on there, too.
@milo and Drunes–Thanks!
Hmmm, those links appear to be broken. Here we go…
