13 Kewlest Kills, #9

#9: Zombie Baby in Dead Alive

Before Peter Jackson started directing lame movies about a bunch of wussy elves, he was AWESOME. I mean, he only directed the coolest, goriest, kick-assingest zombie movie of all time: Dead Alive. (aka Braindead.)

Basically, a rabid little rat-monkey’s going around, biting people and turning them into evil zombies. Cooool. This film is often cited as the goriest ever made, even topping Re-Animator, so never fear: you’ll see it again on this list.

But this entry is all about the meanest little zombie on the block: Zombie Baby. Zombie Baby rules. He’s my favorite zombie ever. He’s so cute and spirited…and what a tough little guy he is! I might even consider having a kid if I knew it would be as cool as Zombie Baby (ZB).

So anyway, two zombies have a baby. (Hey, zombies have needs, too.) ZB steals every scene he’s in, with his boundless energy and jaunty striped jumpsuit. Let’s just peek in at this little tyke’s adventures:

First, a baby has to be born. Duh.

He learns to crawl!

And to fly!

Even a blender is fun for such a resourceful tot.

Even zombie babies have to deal with schoolyard bullies.

What if your fists are to small to defend yourself? Use somebody’s leg, of course!

What a cutie!

I love you, Zombie Baby!
