Decapitations, stripper pole chainsaw attacks, and rainbow arterial spray are spilling forth from a new Lollipop Chainsaw trailer released to celebrate Halloween. Yes, this undoubtedly is a video game made by No More Heroes and Shadows of the Damned dev Grasshopper Manufacture.

Lollipop Chainsaw sees chainsaw-wielding apprentice zombie hunter, and San Romero High School cheerleader, Juliet Starling out to stop "a festival of zombie rock lords" from turning everyone into zombies, as they are wont to do. Grasshopper superstar Suda51 is directing the project, while Slither writer and director James Gunn is providing words and whatnot.

Published by Warner Bros, Lollipop Chainsaw is headed to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2012.

  Can we go back to reading the year as "twenty twelve" now. This "two-thousand [and] blah" crap should've been done in 2009.

      it should just default to an old enough date. I mean, you trust the underage people to set their correct age already, right?

        ESRB rules, chums. Here's the boilerplate text sent out with every Growed Up Video Games trailer:
        
        This video/trailer may only be displayed if it is behind an age-gate that: (1) is age-neutral (i.e., requires the user to input their date of birth or select it from a drop-down bar); (2) employs reasonable technical measures to keep underage users from re-entering their age after initially being denied access; and (3) does not display any ESRB rating information on the trailer player or the age-gate itself. Failure to implement these requirements may jeopardize your ability to obtain material of this nature from us in the future.

        More material of this nature? Pish and tosh! You know where the real money in journalism is? Sensationalism!. I can see the headlines now: TEENAGE GIRLS! CHAINSAWS! BASKETBALL COURTS! What deviltry occupies our nation's youth?! Etc., etc., et al.
