I dont know if this is just me, but lately there has been this huge boom in zombies. I dont know if it's the success of 'The Walking Dead' or some other thing, but for some reason zombies are so trendy. Like everyone wants to get fit to avoid the propsed zombie doomsday, or things like 'Run for your lives!' where you run a marathon with zombies chasing you.
Dont get me wrong, I dont hate zombies. They are as creepy as they are cool!

i will admit i was never a zombie (or horror movies even) fan until Walking Dead. I purchased the first 4 graphic novels and jumped on the gravy train. The vampire sh...crap... not so much!
It will blow over. Anyone wanna take a stab at what the next big thing will be?
I am betting on rabid unicorns!0 -
Seriously! Listen I've been obsessed with zombies since I was a child. I was like 8 when I first saw NOTLD and it's haunted me ever since.
Don't know what NOTLD is? Then stop pretending to be a zombie fan!
My whole life I've been concerned about zombie attacks, I was always laughed at. Now everyone and their mother wants to talk about their zombie apocalypse plan...
Half of you probably don't even know to destroy the damn stairs. :grumble:0 -
My office is so divided ... myself and my boss are team Vampire and other are team Zombie. LOL0

hmm.. no, thats already a thing. My Little Pony: Friendship already did that.

I actually enjoyed Zombieland, but really only watched it because it was filmed in Newnan, GA. The hubs had a restaurant there at the time. He went to pick up DD's birthday cake and called to tell me he was running late because he was stuck behind a truck full of zombies. The scene where they are walking down the middle of the street of a small town is downtown Newnan and other than the blown up cars and zombies, that's pretty much how it looks.0

Night of the Living Dead... I got this... haha...0 -
^See! Tony gets to live with me and my followe.... group at the Baltimore Zoo. I already have the plan in place and the people required to carry it out. I'm not happy that it's in Baltimore, but I figure after a zombie apocalypse the whole world is going to look like Baltimore anyway.
I'm going to kill zombies riding an elephant. Top that!0 -

Or just stagger through the streets in zombie make-up!0 -
Zombies have ALWAYS been big. You just haven't noticed, and due to that, you'll be in the first wave to be eaten. Sorry

I'll throw myself headfirst so they can go straight for the brain. I dont prefer all that stomach opening and entrials yanking. Just crack my head open like an egg and eat the goods, If there is any part of me left that functions, I will stagger through the destruction torn world to find you! Start at the toes, methinks.
lol jk0 -
thought you were going to comment on the growing of a larger zombie. I am severely disapointed by this thread. I am only able to grow normal-sized zombies.

I just burst out laughing.... Read it with his voice in my head.0 -

Ghosts have always been in. Vampires came next. Werewolves got their small shot. Zombies really began with NOTLD or the maybe earlier with the Republican party.
Now, how's this for an idea. We put a vampire, ghost and werewolf in a show 'living' together? Hmm, could be a great sitcom...i'm thinking like "Three's Undead Company'?
Editor: They have that show already, it's called Being Human.
Me: Uh, ok...I got it, let's add a Zombie to the line up, but this time they're all related and call it the "Munsters".
Editor: It was done in the early 60's with Fred Gwynne and instead of a Zombie, it was a 'Frankenstein'-esque character.
Me: Damn it! Zombies suck A**0 -

what about the advantages of conventional small caliber hunting rifles rather than millitary assault weapons ?0 -
The zombie boom started with Zombie Land.

nah. zombies were gaining popularity for a couple years before zombie land. I do stage make-up, and usually make a few hundred dollars around Halloween. The last four years I've done more zombies than EVERY OTHER THING COMBINED. And I'd been doing steady zombie work since about 2001 anyways0 -

NOTLD = night of the living dead. Good stuff!
I love the Vincent Price version of The Last Man on Earth too. Great movie.
Zombies are scary and awesome. I like the idea of a post-apocalyptic world. Maybe just some morbid fascination with urban wilderness... or maybe I'm just psycho.0 -
My first Zombie-Crush was Jack in American Werewolf in London. But I suppose he was more of a decomposing ghost than a true zombie.0

When they started eating all the really fat people. The key is to make the zombies obese on all the huge people so they can't catch us more fit types.0
