R_M's [Official] Everything Zombie Thread

Hey there ghosts and ghouls!

Well, we've had a few threads talking about various zombie things.

I would like to state for the record I'm a total zombie fan. Almost to a point of cultism. I would like to invite those fellow fans, and those with even a mild interest in zombie movies or zombie video games to do some reading, and maybe strike up a conversation.

Here is a thread to talk about... well... everything zombie. Movies, games, literature, art, anything at all you got that relates to a flesh-eating corpses.

I will be making a few posts in here in the next couple days. I'm keeping my eyes on a a few shadows on the horizon. Some upcoming games and movies, which are sure to help quench our thirst for blood and mayhem.

So for now, share whatever you got.

Hope this thread survives awhile

Dont really like the thought of zombies being from Haiti and all heard there was a mixture of mushrooms and other dry herbs that make this powder you can blow in peoples faces and turn them into zombies. But back to movies Day of the dead was the best you know the one with the Jamacan guy, that movie had the goriest murder scenes I also seen one where the zombies could run forgot the title but at the End they cremated the bodies and it starts all over again.

Oh I agree fully. Seeing those guys literally being torn to peices in front of you.

That one guy who has his head torn off was just creepy. As his throat seperates his scream goes from normal to all high pitch and weird because his vocal cords are ripping apart.

Hahaha Tom Savini is the Jesus of special effects

I really enjoyed the remake of Dawn of the Dead. I always wonder what I would do in a situation like that... When watching those movies, I also always wonder how all these people fall victim to the slow moving zombies, but then I remember, it is a movie and logic is thrown in the garbage in the interest of a story.

solanum is the actual virus that causes a person to die and reanimate as a zombie.

it is impossible for an inactive corps to reanimate due to the lack of nerve ending synapses.

so the theories of the graveyard coming to life are absolutely absurd. because for one, the virus is only airborne, and when it hits moisture it immediately disipates and becomes inactive.

this is a real virus and there are currently studies being done on post mortem bodies that have been infected by solanum.

in certain regiments of the marines they use iraqi war prisoners that are too incontrollable as testers for different ways of administering the virus in a containable way as to turn them on each other and possibly solve the lack of troops issue over in iraq.

also i heard from a buddy that his platoon did some tactical training with zombies in live fire exercises, like in room clearance. aiming for head shots and such.

It is not a real virus... The book you got the info from is pure fiction.

Hahaha whoa now.

In all seriousness, Zombies are just the stretch of an incredible disturbed imagination. It's a fantastical fiction which we can toy around with.

Biologically, the very idea of a conventional zombie, even those depicted in Max Brooks' novels are utterly impossible. (famous last words before the attack starts)



I got some GREAT media up my sleeve, but I'm sitting here in boxers and a t-shirt, somewhat hung over and I need to leave my house in 28 minutes, so I should probably get going.

Happy St Patrick's day!


P.S. If you find yourself in Post-zombie-apocalypse Ontario, I will have most likely set up an anti-zombie fortress at Kingston Penitentiary. As long as you are free of zombie-bites, and have a tangible and useful skill you are welcomed. Anything less and I will shoot you myself.

I fucking love zombie films,

Seems to be a major resurgence in this genre as of late. Dawn of the Dead remake was killer, (I heard the same people are doind a Day of the Dead remake as well?) Grindhouse looks to be cool, I think the Planet Terror portion is zombies.

As for old school, I dig those crazy Italian zombie flicks (Zombie holocaust) and of course the original Dawn is a classic.

The comic Walking Dead is very cool if anyone on this site is into Graphic Novels and stuff, I read the Stephen King book Cell (cell phone virus turns humainty into killer zombies) loved the first half, hated the second portion of the book.

Anyway, just my thoughts on the matter. Zombies are so cool.

Zombies are the worst.

I was thinking about zombies the other day, and about how much I hate them. They're always walking slow, moaning, and eating me. Well, at least they try to eat me (I don't let them). The problem with them is that they just don't know when to quit. You can shoot a hole through their chest, and blow their legs off, but they still keep coming at you. The best thing to do is to run screaming. But they'll follow you. So don't run screaming unless you're leading them into a trap.

Burning zombies isn't a good idea, as they won't die very easily and the smell is pretty bad. I suggest you dig a huge pit (I call mine the Zombie pit of hell) and lead them into a room with one entrance and one exit. After the zombies go into the room, lock the door behind them and start compacting the walls so they have no choice but to fall into the pit.

Once the zombies are in there, it's safe to go into the room to tease the zombies (they hate it when you pour batery acid on them). After you get bored teasing them, tell them that you'll let them out in half an hour. Turn off the lights and forget about them. If your friends come over, tell them that there's a surprise in the room for them. As soon as they go in, turn on the lights and start the compactor walls. Laugh. Then, stop the walls just before they fall in and say "just kidding". Then turn the walls back on for a few seconds just in case they think you really were kidding. Everyone will get a good laugh.
