Hilarious and educational
I laughed all the way through the first time, so I'll have to watch it again to really let my brain marinate in the educational goodness. I'd better hurry since it looks like the zombie hordes will reach Boise very soon.
And thanks for the tip about high altitude and cold weather. Good to know. On the flip side, wouldn't tropical zombies rot faster in the oppressive heat?
Im sorry guys but you are wrong.
First of all. you made it seem like People reanimate minutes after a bite. when in fact it would take around 23 hours.
As for the zombies eating your brains.... im sorry but you couldn't be more wrong. they eat everything if they get a chance to.
as for heading to a Cosco. bad idea. Cosco's are usually in heavily populated areas. which means more zombies. bad news.
Your right about zombies not being able to swim. however this does not mean water is safe. zombies dont use vital organs and dont need to breath. they can survive underwater, or floating on the surface. and that can cause some problems for swimmers.
Guns should be used as a last resort. unless your weapons have suppressors on them. because if they dont. they will be laud and zombies can hear. so shooting 1 zombie in the face could attract many more.
Chainsaws are the worst possible weapon to use. they are laud, they take up gas. and they are heavy.
not a good weapon to use.
Grenades... i dont know why people think this is a good idea. To kill a zombie u have to destroy the brain, like you said. but a grenade kills by sending shards of metal everywere, and the chances of a shard causing enough damage to a brain is unlikely. grenades pose more of a threat to the surviver than the zombie.
if this film was suppose to be education. then all its doing is teaching people how to not survive the attack.
Ummmm...are YOU a zombie?
Ummmm...are YOU a zombie? I'm pretty sure this video is a joke....just saying.
Dude. Are you serious? Did
Dude. Are you serious? Did you REALLY take that THAT seriously? Why in hell you need all that information anyway? 23 hours... complains about weapons being loud, (although you mis-spelled and said "laud".) and other random crap.
What the freaking hell is wrong with you...
That video was very funny,
That video was very funny, and your comments are even more sarcastic and funny. Nice add to a good joke.

Zombies Are Sorta People Too!
Humorous aspects aside, it looks like you've finally sold out to the anti-zombino-facist corporate forces that have been trying to tear this country apart for 50 years. Halloween should be a time to bring people and the peopleish together, and let us all share and reflect on the things we have in common.
good info
nice sharer. good project.
Thanks for the warnings!
And to think, I was gonna go to BC for Halloween. You saved my life (and my brain)!
Coincidentally...
I just finished reading the "Zombie Survival Guide":
http://www.randomhouse.com/crown/zombiesurvivalguide/
That's excellent work. I'll submit it to the Digg if someone else hasn't already, but I'm going to wait a few hours for morning to cross the Atlantic.
cool infos
its very good nice projected.
LOL
When Lee meets Quentin Tarantino! :D
NICE!
Squeaky clean - or dark n twisted?
Hysterical Lee!
There goes inviting you for Halloween
... after seeing the blood and gore... well, I guess I'll just have to camp out at Costco... and get bulk Cheerios while I'm at it.
This was very funny Lee, Sachi and zombie voices... This will be part of my zombie ecard to my friends -- thanks!
Excellent
Instant fame!
Seriously... this was hilarious.
Thanks for changing up the normal zombie routine of things.
Loved the video!
I agree, this video was great.. who needs 3d special effects anyway :)
A zombie world takeover would be awesome, even if i would probably end up too scared to leave my house :P
Tarantino - lol
I agree with @Anol Lee, you and Sachi rock! You two are so clever. The blood was a nice touch.
Hopefully those zombies will stay on the east side of the Sound! Little more densely populated.
I'm a Halloween baby, so I gotta share this one liberally.
btw, working on trying to attend vizthink in January. It would be great to see your presentation.
Be blessed, Ed
My Girlfriends Mom is a Zombie
Not really, but it's ok to dream right...?
Thanks for another great video!
lol. Good stuff. My 9 year
lol. Good stuff. My 9 year old brother happened to be in the room and he had his mouth open the whole time. And then a minute later he said I wasn't his brother anymore, I was a zombie...
haha-awesome! you'd better
haha-awesome! you'd better all hope i'm not a zombie--i've already made from BC to LA... mmmm...brains... whothewhatnow??? I mean see ya later! mmmm....
Vincent Price has Nothing on Lee
Excellent as always, Common Crafters!
Must pass this along, as one can never be too careful this time of year...
Yes!
Best commoncraft episode yet! Freaking great!!!
Love it! I'll be sure to
Love it!
I'll be sure to surround myself with dancing, candy-eating people this Halloween.
sounded like he busted a nut
sounded like he busted a nut at the end! lol!
I'm terrified of zombies
Hey Everyone,
This honestly scares the shit out of me... my friends came back from the dump and one guy... we'll call him Kin Hentze... had a large gash on his hand... now he said he got it from a spring poking him on the hand, but it was at 3 in the morning.... WHAT was he doing at the dump at 3... probably looking for brains... I haven't seen him since but I think he's a zombie now... God rest his soul... and the soul of millions of turtles that get run over each year... did you know the american turtle can kill on average 4 zombies by running out in front of them causing to slip hitting their necks on curbs and other objects causing the brain to disconnect from the brain stem thus leaving them re dead... long live the zombie killing turtles... GO 2C GOONS!

No link to a subtitled video? :(
Unreal
You guys just keep getting better.
Awesome training for the masses!
Your video is a step in the right direction! You should really try to get some national or global TV news exposure; the Internet can do only so much.
I've featured your video on my news service about reanimation, undead and the like at http://www.undeadreport.com.
Thanks and keep making awesome videos!

Hollywood cover-up!?!
While your statement "these are actors... zombies don't dance" may be generally true about the finished publicly released video, there are allegations that initially John Landis and Michael Peters attempted to use a few actual zombies in some of the dance scenes. This proved to be very ill-advised and resulted in two undead and one unfortunate extra having to be "put down".
The studio quickly released a statement that "no zombies were hurt in the making of this video" which was just as quickly changed to "no zombies were used in the making of this video". That is what bothers me the most! Hollywood consistently tries to "push the envelope" and then when things go horribly wrong the cover-up begins. The reckless actions of Landis and his cohorts brought unwanted scrutiny to the NSCSTF (non-stationary cadaver suppression task force) because of the 'tweener that had to be eliminated on the set along with the two undead. That kind of thing greatly hinders the efforts of such organizations that are trying to work with certain govt. agencies to keep the infestation under control... none of us want that!
Y'all watch your backs this Halloween!
I am not affraid of

Well played, sirs
Well done... didn't show up in iTunes though
Very well done, you two!! Reminded me of Shaun of the Dead.
The video didn't show up in iTunes though. Had to unsubscribe, delete eh previous episodes to clear all knowledge of the show from my iTunes and then re-subscribe. You need to fix that.
Looking forward to the Christmas Reunion episode!!

The Undead Apocalypse is Inevitable
I'm glad that there are others out there that take educating people about the undead as seriously as me. This video was very informative and will save many lives. It's unfortunate that the maker of this film left out a very crucial element of zombie survival:
Always be aware of your surroundings.
Zombies can surprise you with how quiet they can be. Many people have fallen victim to the undead when they were surrounded and caught off guard.
Otherwise, I commend the filmmaker, may he rest in peace.

wow coolbaens man its like drawing a rael horror show called the attac of the zombies i cant belive its amazing what you done.

Real Zombies
Hi,
LET'S TALK FACTS
For people who don't know this: Zombies exists. Of course, they are not dead people. Once someone is dead, it's for ever. If you've heard about some strange miracles, don't believe them. If you are in the flesh, once you die, it's for ever. Or, may be you were not dead and flew with your friends somewhere else, let say Kashmir (but this is another story). So, let's come back to the story. Of course the person was not dead. Zombies were slaves employed in sugar cane fields, this started late 19 century in west indies islands and south america. How this was possible. First of, a bad guy/chemist/local shaman (working for the big farmer) gave a drug to the victim, drug that slows the heart. Then the person was declared dead. Then the bad guy came at night to collect the body in the grave. The "zombie" people were given another drug to "come back to life" that annihilated their mental power and lower their pain level. They were bitten, given no food, no sleep and forced to work in sugar cane fields (it is easy to hide workers there, nobody will come and cane blades are very sharp). I've seen a picture in a newspaper, of a woman, let say 30 years old (you don't live long under these conditions), found roaming, she escaped the farm. It was in the 70's in Haiti. You still have drugged slaves in tropical islands and south america. If you find one of these person, give them salt. This stops the effect of the drug. And accompany them to the nearest hospital. DON'T KILL THEM PLEASE. Sorry for my english;
Really cool :P
This video is funny... Just bookmarked!

Zombies Exist as Exploited Workers
The reply above which says that zombies are actually drugged sugar cane workers
is one of the few that makes sense on this site. I did not see the movie but I do not
need to. Years ago while in the U.S. Army I met a Master Sgt. who had college Pre-Medical
training before the Army. He was caught in the Pearl Harbor bombing and was used to
perform operations on the wounded. He save over 250 and never lost a patient. Later,
he told me he was in Haiti and stopped at a shabby saloon in the interior. Out the
window he saw a line of slow-shuffling people being threatened to "stay put" while
a couple of armed and whip-carrying leaders came in for a drink. He asked the bartender
what was going on and who those poor wretched people were. The man said "You've
heard of Zombies haven't you? Those are some that work in the sugar cane harvesting.
It is hard work and never enough people want to do it. These 'Zombies' can stand it because
they are given doses of drugs so they either feel little pain or tolerate it just so they
can keep getting the drugs. Bunches of them come by here often, but never inside."
The Sgt. later did more research on the subject and saw others that were being herded in
small groups somewhere, probably to labor. They are viewed by various "locals"
to be no more dangerous than people in their condition would be. Though some serious
believers in Voodoo claim they are "reanimated dead." Certain jealously-guarded poisons
and herbs and Puffer-Fish juices can be mixed to render a person unconscious, almost
without a pulse, for many hours. After he is certified "dead" he will no longer be searched for
and can be used as anyone who "owns" him chooses. In cane areas especially they can be
easily kept from prying eyes and used for the hardest labor. With the high profits of cane-Ethanol more
workers than ever are needed. An estimate from Brazil shows over 500,000, though I haven't
heard any evidence of zombie slavery or exploited workers there.
Excelent video! Good Viral Marketing for sure ;)
