We only zombieize the ones we love

You know, just last week I was scratching my head, thinking, "man, I wish I knew how to make someone look like a zombie!" So this can be viewed as nothing less than an answer to prayer: Creating a "Dawn of the Dead Effect in Photoshop".

Frankly, this creeps me out. But I haven't been the same since I saw "The Exorcist" back in college.

Use this knowledge wisely, grasshopper.

Ewww. Count me in the totally creeped out catagory. I think the fact that a child is used in the demo is what is creepy.

I was going to try this technique with a photo of Abbye, but then realized that I'd never get a good night's sleep again.

Wow!!! Oh, Eric that tutorial rocks!!

It's in the eyes where "the creepiness magic" actually happens. "Windows of the soul"... etc.

Will you be starting a Fireant Gazette "Zombie Make-Over" Contest?

"the fact that a child is used in the demo is what is creepy."

My 11 year old's goal in life is to be a zombie, so I have his blessing to try this out.

Unfortunately, I don't follow directions well and I just can't get it right.

Mr. Freen, see if you can get Michele's son's photo...she seems to be having problems, so maybe we can kill (ha!) two birds with one skull-crushing boulder.

Michele, if Photoshop doesn't work, I can hook you up with a Santeria expert.

"I can hook you up with a Santeria expert."

Oh, he'd just love that. He's pretty sure that zombies don't have to make their beds or do homework.

Well, he's right, of course, but that only applies to the slacker zombies...and look what happens to them! You never see them doing ads for Club Med or driving Hummers. Nope, they're destined for an eternity of working the graveyard [ahem] shifts at 7-11 or being groundskeepers at the local par 9 golf courselet.
