This will be me one day, when the zombies rise up. It’s only a matter of time. I hope I keep more of my hair though.
In most movies these days LAZY film makers seem to be stuck on one type of zombie. The viral zombie. Zombie bites human, human becomes zombie, zombie bites human…. repeat. That’s getting pretty damned old. Also I submit to you that if zombies are spread through bites alone humanity has nothing to worry about with a zombie uprising. We are simply too good at killing things as a species. (I’ll have you know I’m armed to the teeth and have no moral compass… so I’m good to go for the apocalypse.)
Now if you go with the zombie model from George Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead” they’ve got a shot. Not only is zombiism spread through bites, but anyone who dies, no matter the cause becomes a zombie.
Think about how badly that would suck. You are never safe no matter where you are because some idiot in your survivor group could be talking with his mouth full, choke to death when no one is looking and BOOM!, everyone dies.
Then there’s the Elderly, sorry but dieing in your sleep is no longer the preferred way to go. That’s a time bomb waiting to go off so keep an eye out on grandma if you know what’s good for you. Relationships with your spouse will also suffer as sleeping together at night will be a bit to risky. Separate bedrooms will become the norm in a future zombie apocalypse.
Sorry hon, but my room is where I’ll be keeping the shotguns.
Your wife will definitely be used to it when you turn into a zombie because there it wouldn’t be that different from how you are now, with the exception that would actually be a zombie.
Oops, almost forgot these two.
Sadly this is true. I should probably work on being a better person…. meh. Too much effort.
Maybe that’s why Fido was set in a retro 50s separate beds. They also had the problem of people coming back no matter what the cause of death. Fido died of a heart attack. They were also sensible about funeral arraignments.
Fido was an amazing movie in that they had a very unique look at life after a zombie apocalypse. It’s still in my top five zombie movies.
I freaking loved Fido it was a great underated zombie flick. Hehe they did mention how old folk were a ticking timebomb (that commercial on the tv made me laugh). They really need some more zombie flicks like that. It was funny, unique, and was a wonderful story about a boy and his beloved zombie
Now that is a zombie movie that I would kill for a sequel.
I’ve found that a good, strong cup of coffee cures most zombie-itis.
I would submit to you that the Romero zombie could still be a viral agent. It just happens to be airborne. Everyone is infected even if they show no symptoms, and will continue to be infected until death or some massive injury such as having your throat chewed on weakens the immune system.
That is one possibility. Romero kept the cause in the original a little vague. The only concrete reason he gave in the movie was the “Radiation” coming off a returned space probe.
For that reason I still favor them being “Energy” zombies caused by some crazy gamma rays or something.
Maybe that’s why we don’t have a space shuttle program anymore, we’re trying to prevent zombies.
Well if that’s the case they need to start that back up right now! We need a good zombie Apocalypse.
its ok, im immortal
Carter why are you lieing we all know yoru wife is going to keep you in the shed like sean kept his best friend to play video games with even after zombiehood had been acheived
I won’t lie, that’s probably true. That’ll happen.
This is why no one gets upset with us Death Knights. We do not require brains, we do not smell bad, and we get to wear really cool armor, and our voices are even cooler.
You forgot one thing…. no sparkling in the sunlight.
I have a six year old daughter, I assure you that somewhere in my house there is a bottle of glitter that I could use in a pinch.
Your Daughter and mine should get together then my daughter will bring the pink duct tape to go with the glitter.
Depends on the armor.
And the really cool glowing eyes is a plus.
DAMMIT KIDS if you dont start behaving its an hour in the shed with your father! and this time he WONT be on the chain! * The newest punishment after the zombie apocolypse
