Zombie Video Contest Update

Status
Not open for further replies.
....well, we got zombie survival knife problems! I was showing it off, how it works and all, and a battery got stuck into it. Long story short, the battery was grounded out with it self and caught fire, the handle of the zombie knife has fallen off and is in 2 pieces. The burnt up battery has wedged itself to the side of the handle. Unfortunately, its been destroyed.

I have another one on order, and I think I know how to fix it BEFORE it happens next time. I will still donate the new one for a prize, but the actual one in the video is in pieces, so I removed the video. I am supposed to get it this coming week. I will of course post a video of the new one. Its the same style/color so not much will change, but it will be a little more user friendly.

Ok, tried to go back and re-edit the post. I did get the knife fixed. Its actually put back together better than when I got it. The problem I had was the glv doesnt have much room for play for the batteries. I forced a battery down the tube to show it off and that was where I went wrong. Trying to get the battery out was a pain. I ended up shorting out the battery.

But all is well again. I have the knife back together and will need to get a spring in the morning and it will be just fine. I am going to try and drill out a little extra on the body so the batteries dont get stuck again, but that will be quick and simple to do. I am going to re-post the video now. Glad this happened to me and not the winner of the knife.

But zombies aint real people, so we can kill zombies in the vdeo right?

Brings up a good question, Is killing a zombie on film considered a snuff film?:confused:

Method and reason are key factors (refer to the last few mins of Diary of the Dead)... also if you dress your ex-wife as a zombie thats snuff... On the other hand if you dress my ex-wife as a zombie...
