I Am Making A Zombie Movie, And Need Help With The Action Effects. Please Help?

Question by Tic Tac: I Am Making A Zombie Movie, And Need Help With The Action Effects. Please Help?
Me and two of my friends are making a zombie movie this summer, and we have almost everything we need to make it. But one thing we need help with is how to do the action scenes where the zombies are being killed. We need some ideas on how to make good action scenes without actually killing the actors. So far, we know how to make it look like a zombie got shot and blood splatters, how to make it look like a person threw something into a zombie’s head, and we will probably use a foam bat to hit zombies. What else?

Indymogul on YouTube is really helpful for cheap, realistic effects like zombie bites and excessive gore.
Also, Andrew Kramer of VideoCopilot.net does some simple, yet powerful tutorials for Adobe After Effects.

My friends and I are planning on doing the same thing actually, and trust me, these two websites will help you with any and all zombie-based special effects.
