Another zombie thread! <3

[bobboy]

Ok, so today, I was watching 28 Weeks Later, when I thought of something. Would faster zombies be scarier, or the creepy slow type?

Sure, the fast ones could run at you and break your morale, but the slow types would just drive you insane! Watching something walk slowly to kill you would freak you out and break your mind!

Anyone else think so? (Sorry, I was inspired by that movie to discuss it >_>)

[PrestonBurke]

It's not the speed that matters, it's what they look like.

I hate Zombies that don't look dead. It would be just terrifying to wake up one day and see your best friend become a Zombie, and yet not know it because he doesn't look dead. I mean apart from the White palish skin, i wouldn't be able to tell the difference. I would assume that they are sick or something.

And noises don't really count either, considering how most of us teenagers act in the morning i wouldn't be able to tell whats normal and whats abnormal.

[B.A.Baracus]

Hmm, good question.
I would say being trapped on a roof or in a house due to a horde of slow zombies would wear down ones moral over time, but due to their avoidability some sense of hope would remain for a good time.
Fast zombies would just be scary shit, but might keep you too alert to be overcome with hopelessness.
Of course this is all depended on the person, and on whats available.
I don't think I wouldn't fret about zombies while holding an M-16.

[Darmago]

seeing as I think it would be much easier to prepare/ride-out/defend a slow-zombie hoard, I would find fast zombies much more scary.

[The_Maker]

Not exactly the same "breed" but if the fast zombies in 28 weeks later are anything like the ones in HL2, I'd say fast... by far.

[PrestonBurke]

I find that it would be much more comforting to be killed by the Fast Zombies in HL2 then the Fast Zombies in 28 Days later. I rather be mauled to death then eaten.

[Modred]

If the zombies are en masse to the extent that you can't escape, then it probably wouldn't matter to me. You could at least fight the slow moving ones until you ran out of maneuvering space, so that might be the preferable situation.

But if there's only a couple of zombies, it really shouldn't matter, assuming that a zombie does no logical reasoning and acts only from instinct. Now, if zombies have full mental capability and are simply under the influence of some controlling agent, slow zombies ftw. You might could outrun them before they outsmart you. But fast and smart zombies? No thanks.

[TheListener]

Slow Zombies Would be Fun!

I've discussed this with my friends SO many times, really. Fast zombies actually require you to run away at break neck speed, and if you don't have a plan, and if you don't have a gun, like the guy did at the beginning of 28 Days Later well then you're done for. With slow zombies, you can hole yourself up your friend's basement make a game plan, hell you could JOG by them, like in Shaun of the Dead or Night of the Living Dead. Theres a bit of a comfort factor knowing that you're safe when there are thousands for zombies in the streets, and at the same time, when you leave your vestige of safety, with a gun in hand, and with two friends who have your back, taking out zombies on your way out of the city, it's the shit.


I for one pray for a zombie apocalypse.
Zombies<3


[edit]
Oh yeah, and +rep for the topic. I really really love zombies! :D

By the way, how was 28 weeks later? I live in France so it comes out in September..

[IrishDutchman]

Sure, the fast ones could run at you and break your morale, but the slow types would just drive you insane! Watching something walk slowly to kill you would freak you out and break your mind!

Nah, the fast ones would just kill you. Slow ones you can easily flee from, or pick 'em off one by one with a heavy blunt object. (Ever seen Shaun of the Dead? :P)

[WarInSerbia]

I Love Zombies!I seen Shaun of the Dead.What a great movie.
In a book a read there is a article about zombies.How are they evolving etc...It sais that the zombie have three levels.The first is classic,just a wound in their neck and a bad smell.In the second lvl they are beginging to rot and they are a bit faster,andd their inteligence is also higher.The third lvl is their ultimate level they walk at normal human walk speed their smell is even deadly and maybe they would figure out how to fire from a pistol.
At the end of the story the main character Daren fires a nuke into the Earth's atmosfere and thus releasing a antivirus,eliminating every zombie on Earth. THE END
btw.In Empire Earth I made a campaing "Zombie Empire".Involves custom zombie skins and other stuff.
Don't forget:Shoot them in the head!

[3Vee]

Just remember: all they want to do is eat your brains.

Based on that basic consideration about zombies, I'll take the slow ones. Plus, fast zombies are too freaky for me to worry about.

[Zeltaris]

Obviously the worst zombie... is the pedo zombie...

[bobboy]

The above would be scary as fuck.

If you want me to spoil the movie, tell me, but other than that, it as pretty good. Except I'd HAVE to say that one guy was the dumbest piece of crape i have ever seen, and started the outbreak >_>.

You know, I think it would be absolutly horrible if they started out slow, and got faster over time. Or if something happened similar to that one book, Autumn.

[TheListener]

Except I'd HAVE to say that one guy was the dumbest piece of crape i have ever seen, and started the outbreak >_>.

The only way any zombie movie can progress is through human stupidity whether it's an I-can't-kill-you-because-you-used-to-be-my-husband scenario or just a deer in the headlights situation. Stupidity is what causes zombies to thrive. Smart people stay in barred protected areas with weapons, food, and a radio. They wait it out, not run into the nearest subway hoping to find help in the darkness or confusing the "braaaains" that the zombies moan as "saaafety!"



You know, I think it would be absolutly horrible if they started out slow, and got faster over time. Or if something happened similar to that one book, Autumn.


George Romero (writer/director of the "of the dead" series (Dawn of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead, Day of the Dead, Land of the Dead)) said that there are 3 stages of zombies.

1 - Fresh. These zombies have recently turned into what they are and therefore can run as fast as humans and such.

2 - I forget the name of this stage but it's a slightly more decomposed version of the earlier zombies, and therefore just jog or walk towards their targets.

3 - Decomposed. These are the face-falling leg-limping dismembered zombies we know and love. They're slow and fun to kill. Hooray for these!


Yes I'm going to be a zombiologist one day...

[WarInSerbia]

A pedo zombie!!!:D:);):confused:Nice one.
i think that the best movie with zombies is Dawn of the dead.


George Romero (writer/director of the "of the dead" series (Dawn of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead, Day of the Dead, Land of the Dead)) said that there are 3 stages of zombies.


Didnt know that George A. Romero is the director/writer of all zombie films I love! Nice to hear that.
btw.Zombie Empire rules

[PrestonBurke]

I for one pray for a zombie apocalypse.
Zombies<3

What are you crazy? You hope for a Zombie Apocalypse, hey i dream of them in my sleep but i don't actually wish for one to happen.

How does one not know he is the director of the "dead" series. Just don't get Dawn of the Dead mixed up with the newer POS version.

I love Romero's story of Zombies and how they have evolved into intelligent beings. Land of the Dead was the perfect example as in the movie, Zombies massed an Army to attack the Human stronghold of Detroit. They learn to use tools and weapons and no longer run on instinct. In the end, they learn that all they wanted "was a place of there own".

[bobboy]

More directors need to take a new approach to zombies, just like the above. We have'nt seen them yet, what proof do we have on them just running on instinct? >_>

[WarInSerbia]

I love Romero's story of Zombies and how they have evolved into intelligent beings.

I wrote a book.Zombie Empire!And added some of my thoughts about zombies in that.I'm still writing it on my comp but I don't think that i could post that here.Already has 14 mb.
Sorry for keaping this "small" secret for myself and that I didn't tell you sooner.If you want I'l PM you and tell you the storyline.
btw:have you played the game Land of the Dead?

[TheBB]

I thought of something. Would faster zombies be scarier, or the creepy slow type?

I think faster ones would be, logically, more dangerous. However, as is widely known, fear is not logical... I think I might be more scared by the slow moving type.

[DarkMirror]

This thread fails.

Zombies are not a laughing matter. They are a real threat, and if you knew anything they are supposed to teach you you would know that all zombies are slow, although they can occasionaly put on a burst of speed. Also, even if you are holed up in a totally safe area, they can still be a danger.

Zombie moans are one of the most potent phycological weapons known to mankind.

Zombies vs. humans is basicly a case of the tortiese and the hare.
Only the hare has a good chance of being eaten.

[PrestonBurke]

Zombies are not a laughing matter. They are a real threat
Hehe, thats pretty funny right there. Good One.

Zombies are magical creatures. People find it funny when i say this, but its true considering that there is no scientific way to back up the existence of Zombies. So there magical.

Real Zombies are from Voodoo and involve nothing with flesh eating ghouls.

In RPG's Zombies are workers for the undead legion, doing what peasants would do in a living kingdom.

[OboeGuru]

@ TheListener: 28 Weeks Later was okay. 28 Days was definitely better. And the ending makes it obvious that there's another sequel in the works. You'll like it. ;)

But if there's only a couple of zombies, it really shouldn't matter, assuming that a zombie does no logical reasoning and acts only from instinct. Now, if zombies have full mental capability and are simply under the influence of some controlling agent, slow zombies ftw. You might could outrun them before they outsmart you. But fast and smart zombies? No thanks.

Oh you must have loved Land of the Dead. :rolleyes:
That movie was so bogus... 'The zombies are just trying to find their home!'
Oh, and they could suddenly wield firearms. GG!

Fast and smart is pretty much what the "zombies" from 28 [time period]s Later are. I love it. Everyone who comes into contact with them is pretty much screwed unless they have an overriding plan. :)

I think faster ones would be, logically, more dangerous. However, as is widely known, fear is not logical... I think I might be more scared by the slow moving type.
I concur. You're fearful of the fast, in-your-face type, but scared of the ones that slowly descend upon you to gnaw upon your everything. :D

Dawn of the Dead was the best zombie movie, but 28 Days/Weeks Later definitely takes the cake for the most plausible apocalypse. Hell, the world's got enough rage issues without a virus to help it self-destruct.

[Ubern00bTerran]

The zombies in 28 weeks later are people. just filled with rage in their blood. thats why they said it's a "RAGE" virus... just turns the average human into a mindless person just full of hate... but still... i would like to have a zergling or an ultralisk chase me... cuz if a zombie chases me i'd just do this:samurai:and then after the long fight...:_owned:... AND THATS WHAT TRUE BALLZ ARE!!! NOT PEOPLE SCREAMING FOR THEIR LIVES AND NOT KILLING THEIR ZOMBIFIED HUSBAND OR GIRLFRIEND OR BROTHER!

[TheListener]

What are you crazy? You hope for a Zombie Apocalypse, hey i dream of them in my sleep but i don't actually wish for one to happen.

I was joking. I would shit in my pantaloons if this occurred. I've always told my friends that if there ever a war/disaster/zombie invasion/alien invasion/bug infestation/stock market crash/famine/uprising/downrising or neo-Stalinist repressive regime I would be the FIRST to die. I'm a clumsy wimp.


How does one not know he is the director of the "dead" series. Just don't get Dawn of the Dead mixed up with the newer POS version.

Werd.

In the end, they learn that all they wanted "was a place of there own".

That's the dumbest load of tripe ever. I despised Land of the Dead. The opening scene with the zombie brass band? Give me a break. What makes zombies so scary was that they are lead by instinct and want of brains, cannot be reasoned with and no communication can be established between them. Give a zombie a gun and he isn't a zombie anymore, therefore no fear of the claustrophobia that comes with masses of zombies outside a mall or a group of them cornering you in a room. Zombies are mindless creatures, humanizing them makes them humans. They have no place in society, CAUSE THEY'RE DEAD. And they should stay that way. The scene wherein the black "big daddy" zombie shows another zombie to break a wooden wall with a hatchet made me curse Romero, it was silly and made the movie the worst of his ... of the dead series in my opinion. That and the line "Ima put a jihad on his ass"

[master_link]

Okay.

Slow zombie situation:
Really stupid and retarded (did I mention stupid?) main retards go "OMGEEESS!!!111 IT TEH ZOMBIES!!11111"
*Runs into house*
"Hey Arnold, why are you all pale and moaning 'braaaiiinnzzzzz'???"
*Main retard realizes what happened.*
"OMGEESSSS!!!!"
*Does some more mind-boggling retarded things.*
"OMG!!! i ded."
^All I can say is that slow zombie movies are fucking gay. Their main characters are fucking retards half the time if you ask me. Like, why won't you use the gun on your wife/husband/boy-/girl-friend? Logical thing to do you stupid dumbfuck. Why can't you be a man and shoot your friend that's screaming: "OMFG, KILL ME, DON'T LET THEM TAKE ME ALIVE." I'm thinking at this point, I gotta invent a machine that'll let me get into the dumbass of a movie and show those dickwads what balls are.^

Fast Zombie Situation:
*Reverse of slow zombie situation*
^Unfortunately, that's all I can come up with for a fast zombie situation.^

There, I finished my rant.

[PrestonBurke]

The zombies in 28 weeks later are people. just filled with rage in their blood. thats why they said it's a "RAGE" virus... just turns the average human into a mindless person just full of hate...
Thats what i thought it was, but everybody says there Zombies and it gets me confused.


it was silly and made the movie the worst of his ... of the dead series in my opinion.
A lot of people said that it was one of his better Dead films, but i still perfer Day of the Dead. Land of the Dead explores one of the biggest fears that humanity has if there is a Zombie outbreak, the dead gaining the ability to have logical reasoning and memory. (Scientifically that is impossible if there brain is dead, then they cant think) It gives them a larger menacing appearance. People think there just "stupid slow bastards"; well now there "smart slow bastards".

But yeah, it does seem a bit corny having all these zombies wielding guns and knifes. I wouldn't mind if the recovered life skills like the ability to open doors, but having a zombie chop off a soldier hand with a butcher knife? How about having that Zombie tear off the soldier's hand?
he opening scene with the zombie brass band?
I laughed at that scene. It's funny how the Zombies had no idea what those instruments were but yet smacked/blew into them non the less.
That and the line "Ima put a jihad on his ass"
I don't recall that line, but it reminds me of what one of the security guards said in the newer Dawn of the Dead: "Shit rolls down hill...."
want of brains
I never understood where the "want of brains" thing came from. All the zombie films i've seen, the Zombies never ate a human for there brains (they may have worked there way up to the brains, but never started at the brains) In general they eat warm flesh, but theres no point in that because they cant digest it, and they don't need the nourishment that comes form it.

[Ktan]

Actually, it is an important distinction, in 28 days later, they are not zombies. They are almost effectively zombies, but they are not. They are human beings with 'the rage' or w/e it's called.

It's like the villagers in Resident Evil 4. They aren't zombies. They display a number of zombie like properties, but strictly, they aren't.

The line in 28 days is more blurred than that in RE4, I admit, but technically, they aren't zombies.

Of course, as mentioned before, 'fast' zombies do (fictitiously) exist.

[WarInSerbia]

Zombies don't eat just brains!They it everything that is eatable on humans.I don't know for animals but I think that they would it them as well.In the game Land of the dead,at the games ending zombies lick the 4 meter wall.And a fat zombie picks a hammer that was nearby,looks at it for a couple of seconds and hits the wall with it.I don't know if that is in the movie LotD.
With this conclusion we know that zombies can evolve into inteligent beings maybe as smart as us!

[TheListener]

@Warinserbia: I never claimed they only eat brains, I was merely playing on the stereotype that zombies have an innate love of brains.

@Ktan: Considering Zombies are the stuff of fantasies and so are rage virus victims, I think we're at liberty to be a bit lenient in the terminology. It's like arguing over different dragon races, in the end, if it's scaley, breathes fire and has wings, it's a dragon.

@TheAzn: Since WHEN was mankind's greatest fear in terms of zombie outbreaks them gaining reasoning skills. The fact that no matter how much you beg and scream at your now-turned-zombie-husband he won't stop hobbling to you is what makes them so damn scary. Being able to reason with them and tell them "You used to be my son!" might spark some sort of rationale into them. Making zombies more human isn't scary, it's Frankenstein, he isn't scary because he's got the mind of a kid and you can play on his emotions.

[DarkMirror]

Stop it!
You mock the great art of Zombie Termonolodgy! Zombies are not "Fantasy creatures". They are the result of a virus called Solanum, which can only affect humans for an unknown reason.
It is true that the "real" zombies are caused by voodoo poweder, but the zombies which are a real threat are not.

Please, do not mock zombies anymore, they are a real threat.

Are you being serious? Really?
The concept of zombies emerged in the Caribbean wherein human beings were put under spells and became mindless drones. Somewhere along the line someone decided that these drones should walk of their own will in search of flesh and now we have the Italo-American cinematic concept of zombies.

I love zombie movies but the fact that you think they're real sort of makes this thread useless. I think you're dumb.

[bobboy]

I think T-virus > Solanum

Heck, even G virus > Solanum

[WarInSerbia]

Its not heck boboy in resident evil it crearly sais tha it is the T-VIRUS.But if I would discover the source for eternal life than I would create zombies.How has it all began?

[DarkMirror]

I think T-virus > Solanum

Heck, even G virus > Solanum


This would be true, except that the T-Virus and the G-Virus are fictional. Solanum is real.
Your dumb. I hope that when the zombie scourge comes to your home town, they eat you due to your ignorance.

[TheListener]

Your dumb.

Oh, the irony.

[VigilanteV]

Until the sheer mass of zombies overpower you, and you suddenly find yourself backed into a corner with waves of zombies clamboring over their recently slain peers to claw and rip your armor off of you until you finally are overpowered by just sheer number and strength. The fear that you boldly stated you wouldn't feel appears in you through a voiding of your bowels as the first zombie bites into your fleshy bicep....

No please go on, i love your descriptive story telling.

Well you'll run out of Naplam eventually, and the fire will only burn them, not kill the instantly. If your in a tank, you'll eventually run out of rounds and gas, so you'll be stuck and "vs from lostplanet" means jack, because i didn't understand what you just said.

Plus a tank wouldn't be able to do jack, the .30 cal is on a stuck position and firing some 88rounds would simply hurt yourself more by creating craters which your tank could get stuck in. There is no invincible defense expect for a concrete wall against zombies.

If you want to effectively combat Zombies, the area of outbreak must be quarantined down to the rivers, mountains, forests and sewers. Military clean up operations will have to commence slowly to be sure that they have eradicated every dead Zombie there is. Soldiers will have to wear Gas masks and protective Bio suits in case the infection is spread by viral, bodies will have to be burned, research labs will have to be established to study the Zombies and find a possible cure. Neighboring cities or towns will be under watch for any symptoms that relate to the area of outbreak, and survivors will also be placed under strict watch for symptoms. And a government contract also may have to be written to have them keep there mouths shut about it.

[Darmago]

My slow-zombie emergency plan would be to fortify a super wal-mart, then wait it out, maybe take a few pot-shots at the zombies from the roof.

My fast-zombie emergency plan involves not even trying to get to a wal-mart and fortifying my attic and praying to every deity known to mankind.

[TheListener]

My slow-zombie emergency plan would be to fortify a super wal-mart, then wait it out, maybe take a few pot-shots at the zombies from the roof.

As long as you don't do really stupid crap like in Dawn of the Dead, I think you'd be fine. But I mean "waiting it out" could mean weeks or months or years. I'd think that at some point during this time the zombies would be able to figure out the automatic doors. :P

[DarkMirror]

More likly they would break down the big glass windows.
Grecery stores are not a good place to be. Rotting food from power outages can be very dangerus.

Ah, you seem to have gotten hold of the "Idealistic" version of events.
In reality, unless the outbreak is a class 3, the government probobly wont get involved. No one will wear "Bio Suits", although this would be advisable as Solanum can be transmitted only by bodily fluids, and is any of thier blood gets into a cut or something, goodbye. Nieghboring cities and towns wont be checked on, and survivors wont be watched. And no, no contracts would be made as the govenrment, as they undoubtably know about the incedent will simply rely on them not wanting to seem, crazy to keep thier mouths shut.

Its to bad the world isnt the way you describeb, but oh well.
BTW, concrete wall isnt the safest defence. They can simply pile up until they form a un-living ramp over it.
RUle number 9: No place is safe, only safer.

[Giantfish]

There's no need for gas masks or bio suits. The fastest zombie moves at 1 step every 1.5 seconds. Just make sure you dispose of the corpses very carefully as the virus can persist for up 2 days in an inactive zombie.

[WarInSerbia]

The most eficient weapon against zombies is the anti-virus.Surely that anti-virus will never be discovered.The laboratory needs a speciment.Would you get a zombie into your lab?

The virus infects people throught wounds or throught breating.That exacly was never discovered.
If it ever comes for this I'l be prepared.
Its not sci-fi you know.This could hapen.It may not be humans fault.It can be a virus from space.

No I heavent seen Day of the Dead.Whats the story there?

[PrestonBurke]

Well it sucks to be the Zombie on the bottom then.

No I heavent seen Day of the Dead.Whats the story there?

After the initial outbreak, the Government dispatches a team of scientist protected by a military squad to study the Zombies. For some reason i want to say the city is Seattle, but i just cant remember. Anyways, they are in a government building built underground that is connected to a sewage system, and somehow the Zombies get into the sewage system, and lucky for the scientist, they don't have to venture onto the surface world to study Zombies.

The leading Scientist captures a Zombie and names him "Bud", in his little shop of horrors he attempts to teach the Zombie to be "civilized" by teaching him actions. (How to pick up the phone, use an answering machine, salute to the National Anthem and how to fire a gun.) But the only way to teach him is by rewarding Bud. And you all know what Zombies eat, so the scientist starts hacking up the limbs of dead soldiers and feeds the parts to Bud.

By now, the Captain of the squad gets all insomniac because his men are dying and they have been underground for nearly three months with no contact from HQ. He starts to think that the scientist are betraying him, so he betrays the scientists. He kills the leading scientist, kills a good guy scientist, then locks out two scientist into the sewer system where it is Zombie infested. Unfortunately for the Captain, these Scientist knows the way out to a Helipad and they go there.

Previously, the Scientist orders the soldiers to capture live specimens for them to study. During one of these events, a soldier gets overwhelmed by a Zombie and is bitten. The Captain and his fellow soldiers want to kill that soldier, but the Scientist stop them and they prevent further infection by burning the infection. Now this soldier, who obviously has seen the Captain go mad, and wants to protect the scientist, takes the elevator to the Surface world and releases the Zombies into the Underground lab. By now the Soldiers know there screwed and they are stuck between the Zombies coming in through the elevator lift and the Zombies in the Sewer system. One soldier gets eaten, the other shoots himself leaving the Captain running around in the Lab.

Now back to Bud, he breaks his chain and is free. So he walks out of the lab and sees his "daddy" figure, the lead scientist dead. He gets all angry and sees a pistol lying next to the scientist, and by instinct, he knows who killed his daddy - The Captain.

The Captain who is running around bumps into Bud, who shoots at him with terrible aim. The Captain runs and gets shot in the back, he limps away to a door which when he opens, in his terror, finds Zombies on the other side. He tries to back away, but Bud shoots him in the chest causing him to fall backwards into the hungry horde. As he falls he can see Bud saluting to him.

The fate of the Scientist, is better as a trio of them finds the Helipad and flies to a distant island to live.

[DarkMirror]

IS that realy what happens?
Wierd.

No, it dosnt infect through breathing. Unleass you breath in a huge glob of zombie blood, your fine.

+If a running zombie infected by the Rage Virus comes at you(considered inhuman by then). Go to a ladder leading to a high place and stay there. Mindless killers don't know how to climb ladders.

Rage virus zombies do.

Just quarrantine + napalm the area *shrug* No need for groundtroops. Good luck eating brains when you have no body/corpse, Zombies.

Seriously, a zombie virus is sooo not a threat (if it happened).

[WarInSerbia]

I would never keep a zombie as a "budy".That guys crazy.Captures a zombie and teaches him stuff.And them feading them!!

He acidently bits his budy dr. and then the whole lab is crawling with zombies!Gee...

Good god! People do not react like that. The govenmwent wants to see thye effects, and keep the public in the dark. They dont Quarantine unless ists a class 3.

Zombies!!Not a threat!!Maybe not in Shaun of the Dead...but in the real world.huh.:concern:Imagine now for a sec the world with zombies.
The world about 6 minutes ago found out for the zombies.Your still in your bed dreaming about this thread.And then you hear a scream.You get up and see throught the window a woman chashed by a few men.You think,"oh thats probably the neighbourhood HO runing around with her customers.You ley in your bed.Then after 5-6 minutes you hear a knock knock on you door.You wonder ho could it be.You open the door and there is your brother without a jaw!!!!What would you do.
Recording to the post below you would say this."man,you'r so wasted!?".You close the door like nothing hapend.You angry zombie brother bangs the door.You again get out of the bed and think this "does he need more weed?!",he comes to you and bites yur ear off.You say to him "yur OWERDOZED!!!"Eventualy you will become a zombie.
If you realy understood the threat of zombies the story will go like this.You step away wery quickly.Get to the living room and pick up yur grandfathers shotgun and shoots him in the head.
Thats how the whole thing with zombies go.Kill or be eaten!
Remember shoot them in the head.They are twichers!

[DarkMirror]

You are rather ignorant. The Zombie in your example would break down the door, not bang on it and then stop when you open the door. If you saw your brother with "No jaw", I think you would be a little bit freaked out.

Your scenario isnt realsistic.
Plus, Zombiews have existed for about as long as we have any form of verifiying it arheologicly.
They go all the way back to eygept, probobly why they removed mummies brains.

[Giantfish]

Actually, remember the prehistoric cave drawings that depicted a menacing man with a smaller man inside his mouth? That might have been the first recording of zombies.

Word.

Ack, type slower man. Your misspelling words.

"oh thats probably the neighbourhood HO runing around with her customers.
Thats what i would think. But i keep my ho's in line so they wouldn't do anything like that.

Quite true, however that may just be a misinterpratation. Theres no way of knowing if that was realy related to zombies.

Sounds a bit more like a Giant or an Ogre to me.

So can I see a show of hands on who believes zombies are REAL; followed by some sort of justification?

Where will they come from?
When will they come?
How many will come?


I <3 zombies. But the movies, not the "real" things considering the latter doesn't exist.

Zombies are real, and they are a danger to us all. They come from Solanum, a virus for which there is no cure, they have existed for as long as we can tell, and thier numbers vary depending on what level of assualt they have been alowed to get to, anwhere from a class 1(1-20), class 2(20-100), class 3(thousands), or, god help us, a class 4; total zombie control of the planet, very few humans left.

Obviously fake (Or is it? I'm not actually sure on this one).

But it does give you an idea of what they can do.

Bad stuff man:o.

This would go perfect in my Paranoia or supernatrual thread. If someone post there that is.

[DarkMirror]

Good god, thats good that thewy managed to get that on tape. That was pretty intense. And by thew way, I fdont thinka class 4 would be a very good thing.

Jamaica and any other equator island/country that practices Voodoo.

When will they come?
They are already there.

There are rare cases of Zombies, but often Shamans and Witches deal with them. So none.

He is, of course, talking only about voodoo zombies. Real zombies are explained in my post.

*laugh* Obviously a few Zombies would be kept for study - but yes, a quarrantine would be flung into affect. Regardless, the "givenwent" are not a bunch of retards. If the dead start walkin' they'll start bombin'

I don't think I've laughed so hard from a forum post before.

This song was stuck in my head from the beginning to the end of 2006, I love/hate it that way.

Im sorry, but this line of thought is purly delusional. The goverments does not "bomb" or "Quarantine" area when zombies start to attack. Often, the civilians in the area react before anything happens that the authorities take part in. Whole towns are destroyted by class 1 or 2 zombie attacks, and itrs genraly only in a class 3 that things happen, or a class 1-2 in the middle of a heavily populated city.

Zombies attack in low population areas fist, then slowly spread to high population zones. If you want one good reason why the authoerities dont react very effectivly most of the time, heres one.

They dont want the general population to know that zombies exist.

[WarInSerbia]

The same thing is hapening with Aliens.Maybe they know.Maybe.
They say that zombie/aliens don't exist,just not to raise the panic.

I gotta give you rep for that image. Reminds me of Shaun of the Dead though.
1: Shaun did his daily routine to the Food Mart without being attacked by the Zombified Nelson, Garbage Man or Homeless guy.
2: Nothing
3: Shaun wanted to ditch his father because he was infected, his mother wanted to take him along. The one guy (I honestly cant remember his name even when i've seen that movie at least seven times) wanted to ditch Shaun and his party in the Bar.
4: Shaun and his party learned to Zombie walk. They Zombie walked safely to the Winchester.
5: Shauns mother turns into a Zombie. Shaun refuses to kill her.
6: Shaun makes use of a Winchester Rifle, but has terrible aim.
7: Shaun gave the Zombies a "slip" when him and his party were surrounded at the Bar outside.
8: Shaun makes use of a Cricket Bat, Ed uses a Shovel and the rest use of Umbrellas.
9: The stupid ones died.

9.Including Ed.
The funny thing is that after the zombie crisis they all lived hapily.They even organized sports with zombie.
And Shaun play's video games with zombified Ed.

The end

[TheListener]

One of the things I've noticed about most of the people posting on this thread is that the only zombie movies you've seen are Shaun of the Dead and the 2004 re-make of Dawn of the Dead. Really, you can't like Zombie movies if you've only seen 2 out of dozens.

Zombies aren't real.
They're cool, sure. However, they are a figment of your/our imagination.

[Kazansky]

The faster ones would be scarier. No doubt about it - especially if they were screaming and were in a flying blur.

Arrrg! How many times do I have to tell you? They are REAL!

[WarInSerbia]

I like the ones in Half life 2,but they are not "real" they are just people controled by a alien headcrab.

[DarkMirror]

Yes. But there are real "holywood"ish zombies out there.

[WarInSerbia]

I agree with you!

[Kazansky]

God I love headcrabs. Shooting them, of course, I love more. XD

[WarInSerbia]

But the thing I hate in a game that includes zombies is that they DONT BITE.God it makes me so mad.Like in Land of the dead.Very scary game.But the zombie's fight with their hands.They only bite you if you pull of their hands.

|noticed|;zombies in HL 2 and 1 cant bite for they have no mouth!

[Kazansky]

Headcrabs don't bite? Of course they can - how do you get damaged, by those itty bitty claws?

[SHISHKABOB]

The zombies in HL and HL2 are real zombies. Zombies are reanimated dead people. The bodies are dead, but they are moving around. Zombies.

[Ktan]

Arrrg! How many times do I have to tell you? They are REAL!

You're going to have to cite sources over than 'The Zombie Survival Guide' if people are going to take you seriously.

Well, these aren't flesh eating ghouls. So they don't need to bite, and they should stay that way, there Zombies, not Ghouls. Not to mention, HL is about aliens, not the undead.

How nice, citing Wikipedia.

[DarkMirror]

Zombies are real, Damnit!
*Ahem.*
Sorry 'bout that. Its jsut that too many of my friends have died because of zombies.

[Darmago]

I wasn't really citing wikipedia, I just figured that I'd use the wikipedia article because it so neatly combined several cited sources into one coherent link. Please excuse my laziness. It's better than what I'd have posted with those cites myself, and its less effort on my part, with the only drawback are dickheads who discredit everything from wikipedia even if it has cited information in the article.

Close enough to Win-Win for me not to care.

Right, my friend Shaun he lost one of his best friends Ed and Pete. He also lost his Mum and Dad during an outbreak. Sad thing Eh?

Have you seen any other movies besides Shaun of the Dead and the 2004 Dawn of the Dead?

I think you can sympathize with my frustration considering that the former is a satire on the genre while the second one is tripe. You should really get with the program.

And DM; they wouldn't have died with they stuck close to you
