Office Zombies - Jingle my bells

Are the Office Zombies simply having a wonderful Christmas time at work? Ever been in work over the Holidays, while everyone else is having fun and enjoying the festive spirit elsewhere? Join Johnny Admin and the office zombie gang who have to work between Christmas and New Year.

Office Zombies - Where's Johnny?

It’s a brand new new animated video - yippee! Offices Zombies presents Johnny Admin, who once again is trying to keep out of everyones way and have a peaceful day at work. However, many of his colleagues have other ideas. Join Johnny as he tries to dodge his way from his desk to meetings.

Office Zombies vs Shark

Office zombie vs shark! What?! We are of course referring to the Zombie flick classic - 'Zombie Flesh Eaters' also confusingly known as 'Zombi 2', or… um, 'Zombi'… Nice and simple, see, like the naming conventions used for the Rambo films.

Being some sort of quasi sequel to Dawn of the Dead, it's a visceral slice of visceral cinema by shock Italian film maker Lucio Fulci. His films are so weird and unnerving, but at the same time so odd that you have to keep on watching, eyes transfixed to the screen. The way he shoots the scenes, and the eerie score by Fabio Frizzi which stays in your head long after viewing the film, all add to the general weirdness. Also, the use of part English and part Italian speaking actors means that dubbing is used in the relevant places. This adds an eclectic edge to the sound design, and leads you to never quite trust any character whose voice never quite matches their 'look'. So, that's the titling, sound design and the look of Fulci's work all adds to the mix to make us freak out on every level. 

Then there is the boat scene with the infamous Zombie vs Shark. The origin for this surely must have come from some drunken conversation where someone knew a shark trainer or something. A zombie in the sea, a topless girl and a shark - pitch that! Well, OK I guess these days we have Tornado + shark = Sharknado, I suppose. Is this the films very own way of jumping the shark? 

Fulci's other works such as 'City of the Living Dead', 'The Beyond' and a personal favourite - the bizarre 'House by the Cemetery' (check out the dubbing on that one. The kid is the strangest!) contain the same off beat traits. Odd incoherent story lines, synth spook music and gore by the plenty. Love it. Honestly, sometimes I have not a clue what is going on in Fulci's films, but I like it. Beats work.

The need for these films characters to keep sticking sharp implements into their eye balls is, however, just unpleasant.

Office Zombies - Top Of The Roof

Johnny Admin returns to YouTube in order to hide from his boss at the top of the roof.
A video for anyone who just wants to get away from it all, those who want to find that special quiet place to sit the working day out, or perhaps have a sing along with other colleagues. Is it nearly time to go home?

Top of the roof! That's where I go!

The magic of the movies! Day of the Dead (or Day at the Desk)

Another classic from Romero. I just love the first few minutes of this film. The opening scene is just fantastic. 80's pulsing synth music never sounded so good (So good in fact that Gorrilaz sampled it for the track A1-M1 on their debut album Video here).

That first shot of the zombie you see is fantastic! At first a stumbling shadow, then a blood dripping, jaw dropping (literally) visceral menace makes it's way forward. All done with traditional prosthetic visual effects. More zombies shuffling out of the doorways as they hear the cries of "Hello! Is anyone there?" is so creepy and effective.

The first five minutes are, for us, the highlight of the film and set an eerie tone, all filmed in broad daylight too. It's a shame that was about the best the film got, although production troubles - budgets and artistic vision -  marred the making of this film.

A remake? We've already had one and it was terrible, not to mention any weird semi prequels(!)… so, no thanks, let's keep it to the 80's. As for us Office Zombies, we already have a remake every week day - so, it's back to another Day at the Desk…

The magic of the movies! Dawn of the Day Job

Here's a little homage to probably our favourite Zombie movie ever - Dawn of the Dead.

An absolute Romero classic, full of inspiration, even featuring the Hare Krishna zombie!

Something in this film strikes a chord with us. The undead returning to the shopping mall and going about their daily business (while looking for brains), the quest for survival and the helicopter head-chop scene are just brilliant. Dawn of the Day Job - you need your coffee to survive work.

The Secret Of No Success

The magic of the movies - Office Zombies style, continues with the treatment given to this 80's classic!

Work is...Brainstopping

Here is a homage to the great film Trainspotting. There is a lot of scope with the number and type of office worker you can get. Might be a series of ongoing work here! Choose Life...Choose a Career...Choose Brainstopping Work. Become an Office Zombie! Because work for everyone is...Brainstopping!

Raiders Of The Last A4

It's the Office Zombies in pursuit of the very last piece of A4 paper in the entire building. A perilous quest to seek one precious hard copy sheet. Can our intrepid Hero find this artifact before his meeting?

Great Scott!

Back to the Future is.... well, it's BACK!
