Julian Marsh is an out of work ladies' man who lands a job directing a bizarre adaptation of Hamlet. After casting his best friend and his ex-girlfriend in the show, Julian finds himself in the middle of a two thousand year old conspiracy that explains the connection between Shakespeare, the Holy Grail and some seriously sexy vampires. It turns out that the play was actually written by a master vampire named Theo Horace and it's up to Julian to recover the Grail in order to reverse the vampire's curse...If only being undead wasn't so much God-damned fun!
Ace, a rockabilly fan who really wants to be cool, is on his way to seeing his favorite group Guitar Wolf, when a strange thing occurs... aliens invade the Earth and people start returning to life as flesh eating zombies! Enlisting the help of the (real life) Japanese rock/punk band Guitar Wolf (and self-proclaimed coolest rock band in the world), Ace and the members of the band get entangled in many misadventures with crazy rock managers in very tight shorts, transsexuals, naked women shooting guns in the shower, and bloodthirsty zombies ready to tear them apart!
Described as "Dracula on a Hacienda," El Vampiro chronicles the journey of young Marta (Ariadna Welter) who learns that her family is under the demonic control of Count Lavud (German Robles). As he feeds on the blood of the locals and aims to raise his brother from the dead, Marta and the mysterious Dr. Enrique (Abel Salazar) threaten the Count.

Preparing for Z-Day -- Not as Easy as You Think
Scott Glancy — Fri, 2009-05-15 04:00
Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse is all about preparation, because even if you aren’t ready for Z-Day, the zombies will be. Of course, the subject of preparation can be approached as simply a problem of logistics; Do I prepare for a siege or prepare to escape? What supplies fit my budget? What kind of weapons should I buy? Etc. Most of these kinds of questions have already been sufficiently addressed by Max Brooks in his indispensable Zombie Survival Guide. But Mr. Brooks misses a few things. One of the most critical things he misses is what I consider to be the most dangerous thing about preparing for Z-day: the social stigma.
I know it’s hard to believe, but not everyone understands the impending (hopefully) zombie crisis like we do. There are always going to be doubters, and it is their refusal to face reality that can get the rest of us killed. I myself am pretty lucky on this point in that I married the right woman. In our separately composed wedding vows both of us mentioned zombie preparedness. We promised to love, honor, top off each others magazines and put each other down when the zombies finally break through the barricades. I chose my partner wisely. But not everyone does.
