Zombie Panic In Wonderland

Published

on

I know, you thought, there couldn’t be anymore zombie games. Well, you were wrong. For the record this is not “Zombie Wonderland” though the title resides in this game, they are not the same. Zombie Panic In Wonderland is a Wiiware game. It was supposed to be released last year, and honestly I can not find a definite release date. I’ve read quarter 1 or 2 of this year, so we will have to wait and see.

Zombie P In W plays where your character is sort of stuck at the bottom of the screen and yo move left to right and shoot oncoming zombies. Remember Gun Smoke? Well you should, 1. Because it was awesome, and 2. Because it’s kind of like that. The game has 3 playable characters, and 2 players can play together in co-op zombie wrecking action. On top of that the levels are destructible meaning you can blow shit up when you are killing zombies.

“A young hero gets involved in the attack of a sudden worldwide explosion of zombies. To save his friends from the “amorous zombies'” spell, machine gun in hand, he will have to solve the mystery of the “scented dwarves” and destroy the evil power hidden in the castle of the most northern city in Zombie Panic in Wonderland…”

We have learned the sad news this week that prolific horror author Ray Garton, who wrote nearly 70 books over the course of his career, has passed away after a battle with lung cancer.

Ray Garton was 61 years old.

Stephen King tweets, “I’m hearing that Ray Garton, horror novelist and friend, died yesterday. This is sad news, and a loss to those who enjoyed his amusing, often surreal, posts on Twitter.”

Ray Garton’s novels include Seductions, Darklings, Live Girls, Night Life, and Crucifax in the 1980s, followed in later decades by output including A Dark Place: The Story of a True Haunting, Trade Secrets, The New Neighbor, Lot Lizards, Dark Channel, Shackled, The Girl in the Basement, The Loveliest Dead, Ravenous, Bestial, and most recently, Trailer Park Noir.

Garton also wrote young adult novels under the name Joseph Locke, including the novelizations for A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Master and The Dream Child. He also wrote the novelizations for Tobe Hooper’s Invaders from Mars and Warlock, as well as several books for the Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchises.

Other young adult horror novels you may remember the name Joseph Locke from include Petrified, Kiss of Death, Game Over, 1-900-Killer, Vengeance, and Kill the Teacher’s Pet.

You can browse Ray Garton’s full bibliography over on his official website.

He wrote on his website when it launched, “Since I was eight years old, all I’ve wanted to be was a writer, and since 1984, I have been fortunate enough to spend my life writing full time. I’ve written over 60 books—novels and novellas in the horror and suspense genres, collections of short stories, movie novelizations, and TV tie-ins—with more in the works.”

“My readers have made it possible for me to indulge my love of writing and I get a tremendous amount of joy out of communicating with them,” Garton added at the time.

Ray Garton is survived by his longtime wife, Dawn.
