At the beginning of the 21st Century monsters still roam the remote, and sometimes not so remote, corners of our planet. It is our job to search for them. The Centre for Fortean Zoology [CFZ] is - we believe - the largest professional, scientific and full-time organisation in the world dedicated to cryptozoology - the study of unknown animals. Since 1992 the CFZ has carried out an unparalleled programme of research and investigation all over the world. Since 2009 we have been running the increasingly popular CFZ Blog Network, and although there has been an American branch of the CFZ for over ten years now, it is only now that it has a dedicated blog.

ON THIS DAY IN WEIRD


On This Day in Weird, February 4...

1940: Future filmmaker George Andrew Romero is born in the Bronx, New York City. In 1968 his black-and-white horror film, Night of the Living Dead, reintroduces audiences to zombies after a long hiatus in Hollywood. That film, its sequels, remakes, imitators and parodies spawn an obsession with the walking dead in all aspects of popular entertainment, continuing to the present day.
