I've Got That Christmassy Feeling Again...

"It's Christmas, so I'll let you leave 10 minutes early."

Merry Christmas, hope you got out of work at least a little bit early!

Bring me knitting

Happy birthday Doctor Who. There have been many zombie-like adversaries in Doctor Who over its glorious fifty years, one being 'The Unquiet Dead' featuring the Ninth Doctor and Rose which springs to mind. Written by Mark Gatiss, who has given us The League of Gentlemen and Sherlock, not to mention the brilliant 'An Adventure in Space and Time' this week. The story probably features dead people returning to life via an alien entity - as nearly always with Doctor Who! A zombie apocalypse story featuring the Doctor would be great though. What would Rick Grimes say?

Our favourite part of the fiftieth? Well, it has to be The Night of the Doctor featuring the glorious return of the Eighth Doctor. Please give us more! Only a few minutes long, it's already given us some classic quotes which should grace a T-shirt or two! "Bring me knitting!"

However, The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot is great, giddy fun with a host of cameo's. Watch it if you can!

Halloween Blues

It's that time of the year again, and of course, we are always here to hel(p)! Happy Halloween, now let us get back to work, wouldn't want to have too much fun before we go home would we?!

Now with added Tumblr...

Now we're taking it to the Tumblr, Office Zombies style at officezombies.tumblr.com!

The magic of the movies! Day of the Dead (or Day at the Desk)

Another classic from Romero. I just love the first few minutes of this film. The opening scene is just fantastic. 80's pulsing synth music never sounded so good (So good in fact that Gorrilaz sampled it for the track A1-M1 on their debut album Video here).

That first shot of the zombie you see is fantastic! At first a stumbling shadow, then a blood dripping, jaw dropping (literally) visceral menace makes it's way forward. All done with traditional prosthetic visual effects. More zombies shuffling out of the doorways as they hear the cries of "Hello! Is anyone there?" is so creepy and effective.

The first five minutes are, for us, the highlight of the film and set an eerie tone, all filmed in broad daylight too. It's a shame that was about the best the film got, although production troubles - budgets and artistic vision -  marred the making of this film.

A remake? We've already had one and it was terrible, not to mention any weird semi prequels(!)… so, no thanks, let's keep it to the 80's. As for us Office Zombies, we already have a remake every week day - so, it's back to another Day at the Desk…

Three wise Office Zombies?

It's nearly the Weekend, so I want to see no office, hear no office or speak no office until Monday morning! Wooooo!

Another one of those days!

This is for those of you who have had one of those days at work when nothing has gone to plan and colleagues are nowhere to be seen (probably hiding ion the cupboard)!

Happy Office Zombies Day 2013!

Back to work we go. The most rubbish day of the year, and it's only the start.
So, Happy Office Zombies Day, have a lovely fun packed day catching up on all the stuff you put off at the end of last year! It can only get better, can't it? Roll on the weekend.
