Following is an email I received on Easter. This is all the explanation that you need about why I do what I do.

Let me start with, I don’t want you to do anything for me for free, I know how to use Google, and I already have a job. I am writing to you to thank you for your artwork, your links, your websites and the fun you seem to have with Halloween, Zombies, Vampyres and the Horror industry.

I searched Halloween on My Space about a year ago. In that search I decided to check out your website. I downloaded some of your fonts, and found the Zombie Jesus [Easter "Zombie Day" eCard]. (Laughingly I sent the link to my girls, we are not believers in Christianity, etc. ) I have since then forwarded many links to various sites to my daughters. Currently my youngest is approaching her senior year in Graphic Design. (I am not looking for a job for her either) Really it is just a thank you for your candid banter, especially in regard to freelance and the world of art and graphic design.

As for myself, thank you for allowing me to realize that it is OK to be amused and a little obsessed with Halloween and Horror. I live in a closed-minded community that moves Halloween when it falls on Sunday. So on this Zombie Day, I remember that I now celebrate a day with hilarity and gore, rather than as a religiously-driven holiday, due to stumbling upon your site and a Zombie Day eCard.

Sincerely,
Ann Marie Jones Allen

So here’s what I learned from the epic (and genuinely horrifying) zombie holocaust dream I had last night:

1. Whenever it’s possible, run. Staying and fighting gives more zombies a chance to show up.
2. Secure the bodies of the people that just got killed by zombies, even if you’re still dealing with those zombies, ’cause if you don’t, in a minute, there’ll be a couple more zombies.
3. Everything is a weapon if you hit the zombie hard enough with it. In the face. Repeatedly. I killed one with an old metal 3-hole paper puncher.
4. Basement or upstairs? Upstairs. You can destroy a staircase and find a way down later; you can’t get out of a basement. Ben had that right in NOTLD.
5. Zombies that have been dead for awhile come apart easier than you’d think; even their jaws. Grab a piece and yank. Repeat until the zombie is… ineffective.
6. Don’t let your child out of your sight EVEN. FOR. A. SECOND.
7. If new people show up, let them in if you can. They might be able to help.
8. If new people show up surrounded by zombies only a few feet away… too bad for them. Better them than you.
9. When the guys in lab coats and biohazard suits show up, things might have just gotten worse.
10. If you see a dinosaur in the distance, relax. You’re just dreaming.
