\"\"<\/a>We generally steer clear of politics here at Alchemy, but we couldn\u2019t help but feel inspired by the latest candidate to throw their hat into the ring for the upcoming US Presidential elections. The only nominee to represent the interests of the undead, Mr A. Zombie has been attracting high profile coverage from such media outlets as USA Today and Fox News, in order to broadcast his post-mortem agenda. However, as his speech is mostly confined to worryingly hungry moans, articulating Zombie\u2019s policies has largely fallen to his still-living (and doubtless very understanding) wife, Patti Morgan-Zombie. Such as his stance on unemployment, where Zombie vows to \u201cstrive to increase America\u2019s workforce… even if it kills me. Again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Employing the living dead to deliver a serious message is nothing new. The classic horror flicks by zombie king, film director George Romero, have all featured a heavy dose of social and political satire beneath all the gore and gut-munching. Most controversially, \u2018Homecoming\u2019, the December 2005 episode of the Masters of Horror TV series, portrayed America\u2019s war dead rising from their graves to vote a pro-war presidential candidate out of office. In the case of A. Zombie\u2019s current presidential campaign, however, the aims are rather less lofty, as it\u2019s actually a publicity stunt to try and convince the US Dish Network to reinstate the popular horror series The Walking Dead.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>While none of us outside of the USA can vote for any\u00a0of the Presidential Candidates, living or otherwise, we can still show our support for our undead friends in other ways. Here at Alchemy we can offer a wide range of accessories guaranteed to turn heads at the most exclusive graveyard soirees. For example, might we suggest the Nosferatu\u2019s Hand belt buckle (B24)\u00a0as a suitably ghoulish style statement? Or for something a little more elegant and eerie, the\u00a0Dead Man’s Cuff (A61)\u00a0bracelet will enchant every discerning necrophile, the ideal accessory for that chic Chanel shroud\u2026<\/p>\n
