A Zombie Hunter Finds Redemption On Survivor

PhotobucketCBS has just announced the cast of Survivor: Redemption Island and it includesa cast member who previously appeared in promos for Evike.com's Zombie Hunter game.

Stephanie Valencia, a 26 year old waitress from Long Beach, CA was called up to ship out to for duty on the Zapatera tribe. Back in 2005, Stephanie appeared in the Zombie Hunter trailer, a promo for the live action airsoft game, Zombie Hunter, that uses gas-powered BB guns.

Why does she think that she will win Survivor? "I'm strong, fast and smart. I can hold my own and I'm not a quitter." Furthermore, she tells EW.com that "I'm really good at looking cute, but I'm better at kicking ass when I have to.'' Sounds like she might fare pretty well during the zombie apocalypse as well.

Meet Stephanie and the other Redemption Island survivors:

Cuba's first zombie flick - Juan of the Dead

CNN reports on Cuba's first zombie film...

An eerie silence hangs over Havana's main sea-front avenue as smoke drifts out of a lone abandoned car.

Suddenly, dozens of bloodied figures lurch into view, some with empty eye sockets, others dragging limbs behind them.

It's another day on location for "Juan of the Dead," Cuba's first zombie movie, a mix of camp gore and wry satire.

In this version, the communist government blames the zombie invasion on U.S.-backed dissidents intent on destabilizing the country.
