With Easter being this weekend I thought what better time to give away a book with a bunny on the cover. Except this is not the kind of bunny book you want to put in your kiddlets Easter Basket. My zombie time line started with Michael Jackson's Thriller video. In my early 20's I had a boyfriend obsessed with Italian gore so I was exposed to a lot of Lucio Fulci. Recently zombies have enjoyed quite a resurgence. Seems like you can shop on Etsy, turn on your TV or in the case of Pat the Zombie: A Cruel (Adult) Spoof
peruse your toddlers book stash and encounter a blood thirsty zombie. Well ok, Pat the Zombie is not really for toddlers. It's a spoof on the kids book Pat the Bunny (Touch and Feel Book)
. A bloody fleash eating spoof which makes me giggle. If The Beyond is your favorite movie and White Zombie is your favorite band you are going to want to enter to win a copy of Pat the Zombie. Leave me a zombie related comment and in a week I'll pick a winner.
How about a comment from a zombie? :P
ReplyDeleteOr maybe this little gem - "zombies only want you for your brains"
They only want to eat your brains. I mean it's not like anyone's gonna eat your eyes...
ReplyDeleteHmmm Festive Easter zombie brains. This books rules!

ReplyDeleteFrom the Salem Police log: At 4:40 a.m. Friday, an officer on patrol observed a city-owned electronic mobile sign on Canal Street near Broadway read: "Go Vikings!" "The End Is Near!" "Zombies Ahead, Run!" "Turn Back Now" and "You Just Lost The Game." Police noted in the log, "a quick check of the area showed no signs of zombie infestation."
ReplyDeleteThis was in the city where I lived for 10 years and still work,Salem Massachusetts. I would hope the cops in Witch City, USA could handle a few zombies.
White Zombie is my favorite movie. I don't think those old school zombies ate brains, but I could be wrong. Pat the Bunny was a favorite of mine. Pat the Zombie... it's a masterpiece.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite zombie moment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8S9uI6R1FM
ReplyDeleteThis book is amazing!
ReplyDeleteSadly, my 3 year old daughter would probably adore this book. She loves old frankenstein movies and loves to watch my hubby and I play Plants v.s Zombies. She does an awesome zombie impression and pretends to eat our brains...don't worry, no George A Ramero yet..I think we'll wait until she's 5 and has the maturity to handle it lol
This would be a perfect Easter gift for my mom...
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful looking book. The only zombie thing I can come up with was while leaving Urban Outfitters in Cambridge MA with a chandelier I got stuck in the march of the zombies. Who would have thought getting to the subway with a chandelier could become MORE uncomfortable. But those zombies did love my new piece of home decor. haha
ReplyDeleteLast year in downtown San Jose, we had a zombie crawl, which included a zombie fashion show and a screening of Zombieland. Good times!
ReplyDeleteI cannot tell you how many times my husband has watched Zombieland. I swear, he can recite the whole movie. Well....I guess I can too. :) However, I think John Romero does the best zombie movies, however campy they are...he was the pioneer...
ReplyDelete"Bubba Ho Tep" is my fave zombie movie- even though there is only one zombie in it.
ReplyDelete"Zombies are people too." -From some guys shirt...
"Send more Paramedics"--Return of the Living Dead!
ReplyDeleteI loved this movie when it came out, even though there are better zombie movies out...Shaun of the Dead, Zombieland...this was the start of my love for zombie movies!
Easter week is perfect for zombies. I think I heard that Jesus was a zombie... Y'know being undead and all.
ReplyDeleteI can email you a picture of my wedding sampler. I'm not allowing ALL of the public to see it yet because my wedding is 4/30. It's going to be displayed by our guest book but the thing is, I want it to be a total surprise. Yes it does have to do with zombies. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat do vegetarian zombies eat? GRAAAAIIINNS!
ReplyDeleteomg... lolol! Our family gives out pat the bunny to every new mom, so this is hil-arious. I even got a commemorative hallmark pat the bunny christmas ornament a few years ago (since we're known for the ptb book-giving). This is oh-so-perfect!!! hahahaha
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend and I love zombies so much I did a ZomBee tattoo on him and made a crocheted toy to match!

Also I have a pretty sweet zombie bite tattoo!

ReplyDeleteZombie-tastic giveaway :D Thanks so much for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteZombie comment - hummmmm, in a recent online zombie test I found out I would last a mere 10 seconds in a Dawn of the Dead stylee invasion. I of course knew this already as my key jams in my front door every. Single. Frigging. Time. Choice would be to live and nudge a member of my beloved family towards the undead hordes while I tried wiggling that key. Frantically.
Of course - if I'm on my own that day. I'm screwed!
"Zombies are Undeadly Awesome", says my teenage son. The "Pat the Bunny" I read to my son has had a hard life. As the grew up together, my son's puberty was far less eventful. What I know about zombies is: when in doubt, double tap.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome book!
ReplyDeleteSome of my favorite Zombie quotes are "You've got red on you" from "Shaun of the Dead", or from Zombieland ""There is a box of Twinkies in that grocery store, not just any box of Twinkies, the last box of Twinkies that anyone will enjoy in the whole universe. Believe it or not, Twinkies have an expiration date. Someday very soon, life's little Twinkie guage is going to go...empty."
My 16 year old son is a zombie and needs a book to read! When he rises groaning from his pit of stinking rotten flesh it would be lovely to distract him from trying to eat the family dog by waving this book in front of him.
ReplyDeleteHe's already eaten my daughter's rabbit.
