Don't feel you're living up to your undead potential? Then you'd best ship your decaying corpse over the Japan, where the world's only zombie training camp is going on. You won't be able to get in, because it's for some Japanese TV show, but maybe you can shamble along the outskirts of the camp and pick up some pointers. From Pink Tentacle:
This is pretty clearly some kind of PR stunt, but it's an awesome one. And I can pretend that it's not a PR stunt, and that some Japanese executive got genuinely pissed at his show's lackluster zombies, and ordered them to stand under waterfalls or be fired. Because even zombies don't want to be unemployed in this economy.The Saikyō Senritsu Meikyū ("Ultimate Horror Maze") -- a 900-meter-long zombie-infested labyrinth at Japan's Fuji-Q Highland amusement park -- is billed as the world's longest and scariest house of horror.
However, at a "press conference" staged last month, organizers announced they had temporarily shut down the facility because the zombie staff had lost their edge and were not frightening people enough. While the haunted house was closed, the undead employees were put through a rigorous training program designed to upgrade their zombie skills.

For a moment there, I thought they were training to remake "Thriller"!

Cool, but would have been so much better if it wasn't only the faces that were painted I can understand the limitations only letting them go as far as white paint instead of actual palor, but still.

That would make a great game! Just use the Overlord engine, and command your zombies to take over Japan.
Although I don't think spiritual purification under a waterfall is a pre-req. for actual zombie training.

It's because slow zombies aren't scary anymore. They need to get speedy - ask Danny Boyle and Zack Snyder, no?

I went to Fujikyu about a month ago and I was devastated to find that this place was closed. The only consolation now is that there was the most awesome reason possible for it being closed. I hope I can make it out there when they reopen it
