    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:

    what about the advantages of conventional small caliber hunting rifles rather than millitary assault weapons ?

    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 anyways

    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.

    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.

    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.

    'The Walking Dead' is the worst representation of the zombie genre ever. With my zombie roots grown by the likes of George Romero, Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell, and Tom Savini I cannot pull myself to watch this trash of a show.

    At least with slow zombies we have a better chance.

    Fast zombies remove the horror that is unique to zombies. If they can run you down, they might as well be aliens or vampires. The fear of zombies is that slow, creeping inevitability.

    You can run

    You can hide

    You can bash a million heads in with a baseball hat

    AND THEY STILL COME AFTER YOU, slowly overrunning your hiding place with mindless hordes that never tire.
