Those Undead Mothersuckers...

That's right, guys.

This is a thread about the moving bags of rotting flesh that everyone loves to hate,

ZOMBIES!!!

zombie.jpg

Zombies are a huge and awesome part of popular culture, appearing in such films as the old yet awesome (like Druhim) movie

night-of-the-living-dead-1968-movie.jpg

And it's sequel

24-307Dawn-Of-The-Dead-Posters.jpg

Which was remade in 2004.

dawn-of-the-dead-2004-movie-poster1.jpg

Of course, following in the wake of success from these films, many other zombie flicks popped up, including the smash hit

Zombi2.jpg

Which features such awesome scenes as

ZombievsShark.jpg

That's right.

That fucking zombie is fighting a goddamn shark.

And if that weren't enough, during my google search for all of these images I located this.

zombieshark2.jpg

Moving from unintentionally hilarious to actually hilarious, we have a personal favorite,

427429Shaun-Of-The-Dead-Posters.jpg

In the case of an actual zombie outbreak I tend to imagine that it would go down similarly to that for me.

Also in a similar vein to these is

key_art_28_days_later.jpg

Which, though it can be argued that it isn't a 'zombie' flick, is close e-fucking-nough so shut up and enjoy it.

Zombies don't just lurk in movies, though!

No, they also invade your video games!

Possibly the most famous of these being the series known as

resident_evil1.jpg

Which, though it has strayed somewhat from it's original zombie origins, maintains the same atmosphere and awesomeness.

Other zombie games include the light gun series House of the Dead and Dead Rising, which was fun for a while but really how much are you gonna do in a mall full of zombies with like a broken leg or some shit?

Even music has had it's taste of zombies, as seen in Michael Jackson's hit music video, Thriller.

THRILLERghouls.jpg

Yup, even Jacko digs zombies, and who are you to go against what a child molester thinks?

Nobody, that's who.

No, I didn't forget that literature has zombies, too.

765397729_837f13170d.jpg

Max Brooks is a cool guy who writes zombie books such as the above two, the first of which I have lying in front of me as I type, just in case I survive in a zombie fuckin' apocalypse.

The origin of zombies has something to do with some kinda black magic voodoo mumbo jumbo akalaka something something

434px-Zombie_haiti_ill_artlibre_jnl.png

But we're here for the kickass fiction zombies!

Be it hell's doing or some kind of virus, any reputable zombie killer will tell you that the only way to kill a goddamn zombie is to blow it's fuckin' brains out, as demonstrated below.

dawn-of-the-dead-head-explosion.jpg

This OP is light on words and big on pictures because seriously, you know you want to see some fucking zombie action.

Now let's talk about something we can all relate to, motherfucking zombies!

    Dude I play the shit out of Dead Rising
    I stock up on whatever weapons I can find in one store and then run out into the mall and see how long I can last with just those
    Fact: Most of the things in the supermarket that you can hit people with?
    Terrible weapons, but fun to use
    Fuck yeah I'm gonna club a zombie to death, again, with a can of soup

    Zombies are pretty sweet

    one of my roommates is scared to death of them

    if you walk like one she will haul ass or throw heavy things at you

    some sort of pathological fear

    but really, zombies are just misunderstood and want to be our friends

    That is also fun, just for the sheer speed with which you rack up kills
    I tried to do the genocide achievement once, which you can only do by going through the tunnels nonstop
    I got up to like 25k and stopped because I wanted to stab something

    Also I once beat a bunch of cultists to death with the aforementioned can of soup
    So there's Frank, in his undies, covered in blood, with a can of soup in his hand and surrounded by dead cultists
    I laughed

    I've been trying to find some more zombie flicks to watch, because zombies are fucking cool as hell.

    A friend and I once scared another friend half to death with an elaborate zombie gag.

    When I was about 6 or 7, I found a zombie book in a library or wherever. Black and white pictures of zombies, and all these "facts" about them. They looked incredibly real. Scared the shit out of me.

    Zot just posed an interesting question, "can zombies get boners?"

    I think they might always have boners, if you go by the Max Brooks ones.

    Their blood coagulates in their veins.

    So if you're turned with a a boner you're always at full mast.

    If you're turned normally then you'll be a zombie with a really hard nonboner.

    EDIT: fucker

    Shaun of the Dead is the best.


    Though when I finally saw Night, I was surprised how gruesome it was. I thought it was going to be a fairly tame film, mostly scary from atmosphere.

    Dead wrong.

    Dawn V2 is also good(never seen the original), if only for the excellent use of music.

    And seriously, people should know to aim for the head. Why this isn't common knowledge by now is beyond me.

    Teach them well and let them lead the way, alright.

    A zombie film with kids taking up arms against the undead would be amazing.

    As opposed to the (awful) second RE movie where they become zombies. I think it's one of the few films with the stones to have a scene like that.
