Zombie Apocalypse: The Night Of The Living Dead
One may freak out if she woke up in the morning being bitten by a random person with blood dripping from his mouth, black teeth, dragging a broken leg, scratching at her with yellowed finger nails. That is one way that could be the start of someone’s life in the event of a zombie apocalypse. Blood, guts, and disfigurement is basically what defines a zombie. Most of today’s generation has seen The Night of the Living Dead, The Walking Dead, Zombieland, Shaun of the Dead, and many more. One topic that is discussed most is “what would someone do?” The topic of zombies ending the world has become so popular there are underground bunkers, survival guides, and storage containers full of food. So, why do people believe there will be a zombie apocalypse? A few reasons why someone would believe a zombie apocalypse would happen are African rituals, Science, and movies. One way science can play a role in deciding if there will be a future zombie apocalypse, Wheeler states “there was a bad time coming, possibly a terminally bad time. All of which at least goes to show that the apocalypse can flourish on its own, quite independently of millennia. In some form or another terrors and apprehensions can threaten us at any time. The possibility …show more content…

    Summary Of George R Martin's Zombies

    George R. R. Martin’s short story about zombies does not focus on the zombie apocalypse as so many stories and movies do in today’s popular zombie culture. In what can only be assumed to be a far distant future, Martin’s zombies are surgically altered humans whose brains have been replaced by a synthetic alternative. This turns these formerly alive humans into form of cheap, or slave, labor that is exploited on planets where most humans are either unwilling, or unable to work (Martin, 2008). Martin’s zombies in this story harken back to the origins of the modern zombie mythos. Those being derived from the African slaves who toiled on the sugar plantations of Hatti (Estes, 2012). I do not think it is any coincidence that Martin’s zombies are…

    Warm Bodies Movie Analysis

    These zombies gnaw and pounce as they sniff the air for any human flesh. They pound doors and windows and get agitated once confronted with 10-foot cyclone fences. Once they are shot in the head, they die. Basically that is it on the zombie’s side of view because we never get to know what they are thinking. One of the most exhilarating pleasures of this movie is the script flipping. This is definitely a twist on the century’s most popular horror. “Warm Bodies” is a nicely directed and well-placed terrific love story with a lot of…

    Jurgen Warmbrunn Report

    Humans can try to prepare and prevent zombies from attacking, biting, and killing them, but it’s survivors personal fear that will ultimately put their life in the greatest danger. Fear can be controlled (just like zombies) if you recognize the signs and symptoms, you just have to educate yourself. Jurgen Warmbrunn, with help from Paul Knight, wrote a report that included critical information that says to kill a zombie, you must aim for the brain and not the heart (Brooks, 35). Jurgen and Paul noted the signs and recognized the symptoms and all that was left was for people to read the reports. If more people would have read the report, it could have saved millions of lives. Jurgen even said “if more people had read our report and worked to makes it recommendations a reality, then that plan would have never needed to exist”(Brooks, 36).…

    Summary 2In his writing, The Movies That Rose From the Grave, Max Brooks, explains how movies, books, video games, and television shows about Zombies have continued to be a leader in the horror industry for the past 40 years. The story of Zombies originated as myths and tall tales. The first Zombie movie, White Zombie, was released in 1932. During this time period, a Zombie was a living person that was made to act as a corpse. With the release of George A. Romero’s movie, Night of the Living Dead, in 1968, the notion of a Zombie changed drastically. In this movie, Zombies were portrayed as people who had risen from the dead and terrorized society. Zombies destroyed the brain of their living victims and lived off of human flesh. Their main purpose was to destroy human society. With the development of computer games such as Resident Evil and House of the Dead, more people were joining the Zombie craze. More zombie movies were created and the following increased.…

    The All Inclusive Guide to Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse

    When asked what people fear the most in a national survey, the number one answer was public speaking. I call hogwash. The threat of zombie apocalypse should be the instant answer. I don’t know about other people but I‘ve seen the movies. Humans are one failed attempt at curing cancer away from losing our heads, because zombies eat brains. Nothing in this world should be scarier than facing that prospect. In these dark times of fear and uncertainty, it is always handy to know what to do. As with any other state emergency, the zombie apocalypse is no different; humans must stick to their “how to” and survive.…

    Is Frankenstein Monster To The Current Trend For Zombies?

    Zombies are less human, as they walk the streets, travel in packs, and they do not have a voice to inform us why they are attacking or their desire to kill. Frankenstein seems to have true feelings and we have a likeness to him, whereas he has soulful desires of love and hate. Zombies today are a bore, the only way of survival is for them to attack humans for survival, not understanding the reason why they have to. When I read stories or watch shows and movies about zombies, I am not amused on how they are created. It’s either by just showing up, stemming from aliens, or attacking a human in which that human becomes a zombie themselves, which is not…

    The Zombie Myth In Amc's The Walking Dead

    The myth of zombies has been debated for centuries and has brought about insane creative ideas about the unknown. Over time creative geniuses have looked to share their thoughts on the zombie myth through video games, comic books and television shows. One of the newest television shows that depicts a post-apocalyptic world filled with zombies is AMC’s The Walking Dead.

    Dawn Of The Dead Analysis

    When people watch these type of movies, they get scare, but it is what we are currently living in our daily activities. I think that the idea of Zombie can be compared to how people are dependent on technology. A good example is when there is a young person walking in the streets looking at his phone and not paying attention to nothing else. People are so dependent on technology that even personal contact is not necessary anymore. Moreover, the idea of an apocalypse that will destroy the world transmitted by movies is also happening right now. Humans are destroying the environment and contaminating all the natural resources. Furthermore, the world is living its own extinction, and it is due to the people’s bad habits and overconsumption. Finally, these movies produce on people to question: what would they do if they were in those situations? Thus, People can challenge their concepts and abilities about what to do when watching these…

    Zombies often portrayed as villains, are actually victims.

    Vampires Vs Zombies Compare And Contrast

    Since vampires are portrayed as charming and beyond attractive undead beings, they easily blend in with the human population. Hence, it is easy for them to hunt for their prey, us humans. Zombies, on the other hand, still resemble most of the features of a human body. The appearance of a zombie can be easily identified by a normal human bystander. Their flesh and skin are most likely rotting and pale or green in color. Some parts of their skin, limbs, teeth, hair, etc. could be missing caused by whatever obstacles they bumped into. The disgusting odor smell of a rotting corpse can easily surrender their identities.…
