Zombie Pizza iPhone game temporarily free

If you own an iPhone or iPod Touch and want to check out the Zombie Pizza game, the publisher Appy Entertainment has dropped the price from $2 to free for a limited time.

I reviewed the game earlier this year, and I think it’s a fun casual game if you like pattern matchers like Frenzic. There’s already a free “lite” version available, but at least for today you can go ahead and grab the real thing without paying a dime.

iPhone app review: Zombie Smash!

Castle defense games and zombie scenarios are both pretty tired concepts for the App Store, but despite that, Zombie Smash keeps me entertained. I think it’s a great go-to game when you want to kill a few minutes (and zombies) between more pressing activities. Read more

Jewelry for the fashionable zombie lover

I don’t know much about accessorizing, but I know that frequently one puts rings and bracelets on one’s body to achieve that “put together” look. If you’re one of those people, and if you love zombies, you need to know about Undead Ed.

Ed makes rings and bracelets (among other creepy and usually silly things) out of polymer clay and found objects, and he sells them on his Etsy store for reasonable prices. Let’s face it–you’re not likely to find rotting flesh designs at local boutiques, and to my great surprise maggot-themed jewelry still hasn’t caught on at the big department stores.

The gorgeous and oversized Zombie Eye ring above has already sold, unfortunately, but there’s still a blue one available, as well as bracelets and other zombie-themed rings. If you’d rather have zombie dolls and objects instead of jewelry Ed’s got plenty of other options for you; I really like the miniature zombie-piggy bank.

The Vatican’s chief exorcist has published a memoir of his demon-fighting career

Father Amorth, aka Don Gabriele, is 84 years old and is currently recuperating in a hospital next to St. Paul’s Basilica in Rome for some blood infection (non-demon-related, he says, but I think we know better). He’s been performing exorcisms for half a century and was the basis for one of the characters in “The Exorcist,” and he was appointed to the Vatican as an exorcist’s assistant in 1986, where he’s now the chief exorcist. His rates must be astronomical.

He’s published a new memoir of his demon-related hijinks, so The Times sent a reporter to Rome to interview Father Amorth, probably partly for the publicity junket his publisher is surely forcing him on even though he’s sick. (Everyone knows that marketers are seething with lower demons.) He sounds like a cool guy to hang with:

Now frail, he becomes animated as he describes his life-long struggle with demons who possess the bodies of their victims, at one stage spreading his arms wide to show me the length of one particular demon occupying the body of a woman he had “liberated”.
