Zombie Apocalypse -

How do zombies know if you're another zombie or a human? I mean if you'd rub yourself with zombieblood, act like a zombie and not agitate the zombies while walking among them, would it be possible to survive even one wave?

If Shaun of the Dead can count as zombiecanon, then the answer is 'Yes'.

STM · #**123** 06-03-2010, 09:57 AM

apparently no, and if you think about it the reason behind it is logical and scientific in reasoning...A zombie is infected with the virus solanum and a virus only targets living cells, that's firstly why zombies don't attack or consume their own kind. Secondly and not that relevant is that a virus can only be transmitted between interspecies or similar species (e.g. the H1N1 mutation of swine flu that became contractable to humans.)

a zombie therefore, would probably not rely on it's eyes and other senses to detect whether or not one is infected, a virus can make the distinction between an uninfected cell without using a sense that we humans rely on (6th sense?) if a virus reanimates a body it probably would have the ability to only attack humans uninfected.

Here's a better question: Would Christian zombies and Muslim Zombies both go to Zombie heaven?

Would fourty zombie virgins really be worth it?

Can it though? It wouldn't make any difference. The real detection is whether or not the cell has the proteins on its membrane that the virus can interact with, and that's no more a sense than adjacent puzzle pieces.

If zombies DID attack, I'd like them to be how they were in the old movies; slow and stumbly.

Makes you wonder how so many people die to slow moving people, maybe because in their respective universes they didn't know what a zombie was. I think people would know best to stay away.

I'd find it fun as long as I didn't find myself surrounded.

Wings of Fire · #**128** 06-04-2010, 02:33 PM

Man, slow stumbly zombies are far more of a refined sense of horror than these shitty running ones.

Zombies do not stop, they are a creeping horror they do not need to run to get to you because they will eventually get you. That's what makes it iconic becuase IT REFLECTS DEATH ITSELF

the original Day Of The Dead is a good zombie film. dated, but good. that's how i'd imagine zombies. not that i've ever imagined zombies. just, you know, if i ever did.

shut up.

STM · #**130** 06-05-2010, 11:17 AM

Yeh, I wouldn't mind slow zombies but speedy modern dawn of the dead zombies would be scary shit! Or 28 days!

THE ALMIGHTY RAISEN · #**131** 06-07-2010, 01:46 PM

If it was slow walking zombies i would just continue with my everyday life and push one over if it gets too close to me.

But if it was fast zombies i would probly just shoot myslef, its better than being eaten to death although it would make a pretty lame movie if they made one of it

OANST · #**132** 06-07-2010, 01:55 PM

I'd watch it.

Dixanadu · #**133** 06-07-2010, 02:18 PM

All zombie films released in the Noughties are fucking lame anyway.

shaman · #**134** 06-07-2010, 02:20 PM

Zombie films are shit. They have been done to death Undeath I know it sound juvenile. But i have reson to believe that a film is comparable to a zombie film, i find it hard to even consider watching it.

OANST · #**135** 06-07-2010, 02:23 PM

Your spelling is atrocious tonight.

shaman · #**136** 06-07-2010, 02:28 PM

I will hurt you.

Meltdown imminent.

Monster boils and brutal eyebrows.

Which one would you push? The one to your left, to your right, behind you, or perhaps the one chowing down on your leg? Maybe it would be the family member you kept close to you deliberately, despite the fact you had to bind and gag her for your own protection.

STM · #**139** 06-08-2010, 07:32 AM

ah yes sounds like my summer that last bit. Joke. I have no sister.

On another note, I think I really good zombie has yet to come to fruition besides 28 series, resident evil and erm dawn of the dead

you know this won't happen, right?

STM · #**141** 06-09-2010, 09:28 AM

shhh, let him dream! And anywho, if it doesn't happen by May 2011 or December 2012, it ain't gonna happen in our lifetime!

Josh · #**142** 06-09-2010, 10:45 AM

Thats what you think MA. When the Zombie waves come, i'll be in my fortess while you are being eaten on your farm. Oh, how the other survivors and I shall laugh at your blindness...

Grieva · #**143** 06-09-2010, 10:51 AM

Thats what you think, Josh. While you and your survivors are being eaten alive in your fortress (they shouldn't have put you in charge of closing the door), I'll be laughing from my submarine lair!

Josh · #**144** 06-09-2010, 10:53 AM

Aqua Zombies.

OANST · #**145** 06-09-2010, 10:53 AM

That's what you think, Grieva. While you and your survivors are being eaten alive by zombie sharks (they have insanely strong jaws capable of opening subs), I'll be laughing from Cloud City, having drinks with Lando!

Grieva · #**146** 06-09-2010, 11:01 AM

Clearly not aware of....

Josh · #**147** 06-09-2010, 11:02 AM

Thats what you think, OANST. When those crows with a taste for human flesh from the third Resident Evil film show up, I'll be laughing with my Zombie buddies as we take over the world and nom on tasty humanfolk!

OANST · #**148** 06-09-2010, 11:22 AM

That's what you think, Josh. When The Flying Zombie Brigade (people who were genetically modified by the bite of the crow zombies) wreak havoc on the inferior walking zombies, I'll be laughing while gnawing contentedly on your skull.

MeechMunchie · #**149** 06-09-2010, 12:12 PM

That's what you think, OANST. While searching for a cure in the jungles of Africa I'll be bitten by a zombie tiger, and my race of Super Zombie Catmen will catch your bird-zombies.

OANST · #**150** 06-09-2010, 12:53 PM

That's what you think, MeechMunchie. While searching for new genetic material in the Sino region, my Flying Zombie Brigade merged with a Charizard. I'll be laughing as we eat tacos and defecate fire, razing your jungle to the ground.
