Since this is Idle Banter I feel compelled to add that while I enjoy zombie fiction immensely (even wrote some myself, but - of course - since then everybody did), I'm scared shitless of the undead as a real life concept. Most people ignore the idea of zombies (flesheaters, not those voodoo controlled pussies) ever actually appearing - it's like expecting pokemons to start roaming the earth - but I dream of zombie apocalypse every other week and really fear that those shambling fuckers may one day knock on my door... with somebody else's hand. What's worse, a friend of mine who's into witchcraft suggests that I have a precognitive potential. 2012 can't come LATE enough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrChlorophyll Posted March 20, 2007 Scared? Holy crap, I hope for it. My brother and I even have a plan made up and everything. Based on our thorough knowledge of the topic from studying damn near every zombie movie ever made and a number books, such as Max Brooks' The Zombie Survival Guide, which is sitting upon my shelf as I type this. Just thinking about it makes me want to play Dead Rising again. And is it bad that 666 keeps showing up around me lately? Got a wrong phone number from an 815-666-6244, it's 66.6 degrees F where I'm sitting, I bought something and the total (after tax) came to $6.66, and one or two other things I can't think of off the top of my head. All in the past week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I dream about them lots too...! They are awesome, so scary.... so cool.... once I dreamt of a zombie apocalypse and I was on a train trying to get to some corner of the country where it was safe, and then Zombies got on the train and and and I stabbed them with a butterknife and I knew they were gonna eat me it was so scary and coooool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrestlevania Posted March 22, 2007 Rado said: Since this is Idle Banter I feel compelled to add that while I enjoy zombie fiction immensely. Have you read I Am Legend by Robert Matheson? It's an absolutely brilliant book. It follows a few weeks in the life of a very average man, as he survives day-to-day, in a world where the majority of people have succumbed to a disease which turns them into latent vampire-zombie hybrids--including his wife. I was so engrossed I read the book cover to cover the afternoon I bought it. Can't recommend it enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Our Benefactors Posted March 22, 2007 I haven't read that, but it's on my list. Apparently there is a movie in the works. Starring Will Smith. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eljay Posted March 23, 2007 Yes, a very enjoyable book! Already sort of made into a movie : The Omega Man was based on it, but is quite different. It's the film that has been parodied many times with post-apocalyptic mutant cults in hoods and stuff I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nachimir Posted March 23, 2007 Shit! Whatever you do, don't read the wikipedia entry on that book. The spoiler warnings were unobtrusive enough that I skated past them, and now know the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
