What's on?

I'm a huge TV lover and I'm always searching for new movies to watch.

My TV guide treasure hunts gave me the idea to list upcoming movies and their air times here at Z-News. It will be a one stop shop if you're looking for zombie, disaster, or crazy creature movies to watch.

Where is this awesome list? Look for the 'What's on?' button under the Z-News header. There is quite the list already so you can be well prepared for the holiday weekend!

Welcome

Welcome! I’m Jen, your hostess here at Z-News.  

Below is some background on how Z-News came to be. It’s a little long so feel free to skip to the bold paragraph if you’d prefer the short version.

When I was little my parents were determined to prevent my brother and I from being afraid of bad weather. They used what I’ll refer to as the Porch Method. Basically they would have us watch storms with them from our porch. Now keep in mind that we lived in a trailer which was essentially a tin box on the top of a big hill so maybe the Porch Method wasn’t the best idea ever. It was a little scary and yet exciting at the same time and although it didn’t necessarily wipe away all of my fear it did create a sort of respect and fascination for weather.

That fascination turned into a love of disaster movies and somewhere along the way I fell in love with apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic books as well. Later I made the jump into the wonderful world of zombies which is where my current obsession passion lies. I recently decided that my obsession passion needed a home and so Z-News was born.

Z-News will be a mash up of news, articles, book reviews, movie reviews, and pretty much whatever else I come up with. I will mostly stick to zombies and natural disasters but I may throw in the occasional crazy creature review as well since I have been watching A LOT of Syfy lately. Sharktopus vs. Pteracuda anyone?!

A few of you may have found me through my other blog, At Random. If so, thank you for tracking me down! Don’t be surprised if you see a few relevant posts recycled from there. Going forward At Random will have more of a romance angle and Z-News will be all things dark and dangerous :). Jekyll meet Hyde.

Anyway, to anyone who happens to stumble on this blog, I hope you enjoy my random zombie & disaster musings. Thanks for reading!
