ThinkGeek’s “Zombie Hoodie” Needs Your Brains
Online shop ThinkGeek has revealed their newest Halloween-themed product, a Zombie Hoodie, priced at $49.99.
Zombies are tricksy, preciousssss, so it’s important to keep a trick or two up your own sleeve, or, in this case, both your sleeves. This hoodie is printed as if you’re a zombie, too, so it can help you fool the undead.* It has exposed ribs, muscles, internal organs, and even some seriously-oversized maggots printed on it for effect. But wait. There’s more. The hood can be zipped up entirely over your face for the full effect. And there’s mesh over the eye sockets and gaping maw so you can breathe and see where you’re going, which is important if you’re evading zombies. Hopefully this hoodie will give you time to find the closest boomstick and solve your zombie problem – without ever leaving the comfort of your hoodie.
Torn away flesh is printed all over this mottled green, 100% polyester hoodie. When we say this is a full-zip hoodie we mean full-zip: it zips up over your face if you so desire. Side pockets. Inside is white. Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low or lay flat to dry. Imported.

Christopher Landon to Helm Feature Adaptation of Grady Hendrix’s ‘The Final Girl Support Group’
A new feature adaptation of author Grady Hendrix‘s slasher book The Final Girl Support Group is now on the way from Paramount Pictures, and Deadline reports that it’s found its director in Christopher Landon (Drop, Happy Death Day).
The two previously collaborated on My Best Friend’s Exorcism.
In The Final Girl Support Group, “Lynette is a real-life final girl who survived a massacre. For more than a decade, she’s been meeting with five other final girls and their therapist in a support group for those who survived the unthinkable, working to put their lives back together. Then one woman misses a meeting, and their worst fears are realized—someone knows about the group and is determined to rip their lives apart again, piece by piece.”
“But the thing about final girls is that no matter how bad the odds, how dark the night, how sharp the knife, they will never, ever give up.”
I wrote in my novel review for BD, “Hendrix puts his characters through the absolute wringer. It’s a bloody, vicious voyage for the flawed heroine, both physically and emotionally. In terms of action and horror, Support Group delivers breakneck pacing and thrills.”
Five years ago, Andy Muschietti & Barbara Muschietti (Mama, It, It Chapter Two) were attached to produce a planned series adaptation for HBO Max alongside Charlize Theron. While Theron is no longer producing, the Muschiettis remain on board under their Double Dream label.
Paramount Pictures is also developing Hendrix’s sci-fi novella, BadAsstronauts.
