We all have fears of a zombie apocalypse happening; over a decade ago a New Mexico tv station once had a zombie alert to the surprise of everyone.

It is almost always fatal.

A 1,818.5 pound pumpkin that currently holds the world record for the largest pumpkin is being carved into a macabre spectacle of flesh-hungry zombies.

Zombies have been the subject of many movies as of late. Everything from the Resident Evil franchise to the more irreverent "Shaun of the Dead" and "Zombieland" have become really popular. Just when you thought zombies have been portrayed in every conceivable way, here comes a short film from Chris Russell titled "Zombie in a Penguin Suit."

This Saturday, Downtown Shreveport is going to be really dead. Scratch that. Really UNDEAD. The 2011 Shreveport Zombie Walk benefiting the Northwest Louisiana Food Bank will take place from 4-6pm on the 500 block of McNeil Street in Downtown Shreveport.

Since 2007, the Zombie Research Society has been raising awareness about the undead and the upcoming zombie pandemic. Their latest effort, an illustrated book called ‘That’s Not Your Mommy Anymore,’ aims to educate the younger members of our society on what to do when a parent becomes a brain-eating monster.
