Best of the Dark Side: 13 Deadliest Zombie Links

The zombie craze took me by surprise, so I only added a Zombie subcategory in late 2008. It was terribly fun to research! I was initially surprised at how many high quality, professional style sites sprung up. I didn't even try to keep up with all the regional city "Zombie walks" that were going on, though I probably should have tried harder.

1. Zombies and Toys

This blog's niche focus is on collectible and toy items with a zombie theme. There are also a few posts on zombies in upcoming TV shows and movies.

Currently blogging about zombies and dubstep, a new zombie flash game, a funny "Eat, Brains, Love" spoof poster, and info on the "Walking Dead" TV series that's airing soon.

13. BuyZombie.Com

At first glance, due to the name, I expected this to be just a zombie affiliate site. (Nothing wrong with that, I run a couple affiliate sites too!) But this blog offers zombie movie trailers, game news, book parodies, reviews, and news. I found every one of the posts pretty interesting, so I think I'll be back to visit here often.
