“Zombies are retarded and stupid.” Do you know how many times I’ve heard this, whether I’m talking about movies, comics, books, or anything a zombie has ever been in, it seems to be a pretty common thought around people. Not me, I love the un-dead, they make for the best villains. Why you ask?

Well for starters,[b]THEY BITE YOU![/b] We all had that kid in school at one time or another. The one who bit you or another kid and now, by the rules of the playground, shunned forever. Take that, except make the kid literally bite it off, and have the bite make your final days a living hell. Even Freddie has the idea of just killing them quickly.

Plus, [B]THEY PERSONIFY DEATH[/b]. They are what you are after you die. No other horror villains can really do that on a scale that the undead do. Sure Freddie or Jason are technically undead, but zombies just do it better.

You know why Zeds do it better? It’s because[b]THEY ARE A FREAKIN’ ARMY[/b]. Most other competitors can’t do it as easily as them. They just bite you and you turn into them. Sure you can beat one, two, hell maybe even ten of them, but more will just come until either you’ve killed the whole population of Earth or you’ve found a safehouse.

Hell, even safehouses aren’t safe half the time. Another reason why they rock [b]IT ONLY TAKES ONE BITE TO CREATE ALL HELL[/b]. Just picture it, you’re finally in a safe zone after months and months of fighting when one guard is bitten. He, in turn bites another guy, who bites another guy, and so on until you finally escape just to go back to square one.

Look on the bright side though, [b]YOU GET TO HAVE ALL THE VIOLENCE YOU WANT[/b]. In between that whole survival thing, and when you’re on your own, I don’t know about you guys, but I’m bashin’ some damn dirty zombie skulls. They’re already dead, so it’s guily-free too.

Whilst bashing said skulls in, you [b]CAN STEAL ALL THE STUFF YOU COULD POSSIBLY WANT[/b]. See that Lambo? It’s yours. See all those comics in the shop? Yours. You see all those guns? Yours. Anything you could possibly ever want and more is yours.

The possibilities are endless with why Zombies rock, and I encourage you to check any out.zombie story.

Good zombie stories (in any medium): Dawn of the Dead (either one), The Walking Dead (comic), Zombieland (movie), Day of the Dead (original), Shaun of the Dead, and just go crazy with it.

Heh heh. Zombies rule. Joe Watts sucks.

I would have to say it depends on the material, not the subject ( as with anything ) I am not a huge "Zombie" fan myself but highly recommend Shaun of the Dead, and both 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks later.

heh heh ... rage-ohol.

You have to start with the holy trinity, Night, Dawn, and Day... obviously.... and them move on to Fulci's Zombi 2, The Dead Next Door, Zombie Lake (Franco is a very good writer for these types of films), City of the Living Dead, Return of the Living Dead, Re-Animator, "I, Zombie", Hide & Creep, Redneck Zombies, Zombies Anonymous, 28 Days Later, Shaun of the Dead, Land of the Dead, Night of the Living Dorks, and of course then onto Zombieland.... there are literally thousands of entertaining Zombie films, but the aforementioned films are easily accessible, and easy to watch for even the most casual zombie film enthusiast...

I agree and yes dawn of the dead , day of the dead etc.. great movies saw zombieland the other day loved it. Zenescope comics has a new series out called the waking checking it out this week
