Uwe Boll Lets Fans Know What He Really Thinks of Them, Crowdfunding, and Hollywood

After the failure of his Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for Rampage 3: No Mercy, Uwe Boll, the infamous director of House of the Dead, and producer of Zombie Massacre aka Apocalypse Z, and Zombie Massacre 2: Reich of the Dead, went on a YouTube rant to let everyone know what he really thinks about the crowdfunding process and the fans who participate in it.

The title of the first video, "f--ck you all," should let you know that this is all NSFW.

Kickstarter: Under The Flesh #1

It's time to break out the wallet to help kickstart Under The Flesh, a new zombie comic book that the creator is describing as "a Grindhouse mashup of Captain America, Y: The Last Man, and The Walking Dead."

It looks like they put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into completing the first issue, both literally and figuratively, and now they need a little help in getting it printed.

"UTF is set in a post-apocalyptic world. It's a gritty blast of sex, horror, sci-fi, and dabbles in various sub-themes like evolution, spirituality, and transhumanism. A comic that strays away from the traditional viral story by accentuating a premeditated reason behind the virus, as opposed to leaving the origin of the outbreak as a common question mark. The pathogen also presents a rather unique trait: it only infects males!"

Under The Flesh was created and written by Gilbert Deltres and illustrated and lettered by J.L.Giles.

You can check out the Under The Flesh pitch on Kickstarter and follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

Kickstarter: Night of the Living Deb

You've got thirty more hours to help director Kyle Rankin's Night of the Living Deb reach its goal on Kickstarter.

It's "a zombie comedy with guts, brains, heart... and Deb."

And Ray Wise, David Krumholtz, and Michael Cassidy too.

So, if you like zombie comedies... or if you're a girl named Deb who wants a movie made with your name in the title... head over to their Kickstarter page to see if you want to contribute.

Kickstarter: The Map Of Zombies

Want to see "a vintage medical illustration-style poster identifying over 350 different zombie types from movies, books, games & more" come into reality?

Then you've got four days to jump on board Jason B. Thompson's Kickstart campaign to fund the The Map of Zombies.

"The Map of Zombies will be a 24"x36" poster (the same size as my H.P. Lovecraft's Dreamlands poster map) that takes you on a tour of every imaginable type of zombie in a visual format. Drawn in the style of a vintage medical chart, it identifies over 350 different types of zombies from horror movies, books, video games, comics, manga and TV shows."

The project has already blown past its $1,000 goal and currently has $5,825 in pledges waiting to be funded. There is a $1 minimum pledge to back this project.

Zombie Playground

San Francisco based design house Massive Black is looking for some Kickstarter support for Zombie Playground, a new RPG that they hope to launch that pits school kids versus the undead in a fight for their lives during the zombie apocalypse.

"In Zombie Playground you take on the role of a kid during a zombie apocalypse as seen through his or her imagination.  Your school is overrun by the undead, and it's up to you and your friends to do whatever it takes to survive!  

Zombie Playground is an online, team based, action arena game with RPG elements.  Gameplay will be deep, challenging, and rewarding.  The game combines childhood nostalgia with horrific monsters, visceral combat, and a unique atmosphere straight out of a child’s nightmares.  We do want to make it very clear: this is not a game for kids!"

With 14 days to go, they are more than half way to their $100,000 goal. Check out their proposal and updates on Kickstarter to see if you want to contribute to Zombie Playground to help them get all the way to the finish line.
