Zombies!

[mousme]

Okay, a more lighthearted entry now.

I need input from all of you about zombies. Take a minute to think about this, please, even if you're not hugely into zombies, or even if you think the whole thing is a silly waste of time. If the latter, I'd be interested to know why the whole thing doesn't interest you. Obviously, there is no need to answer *all* of the questions. These are just things I'd like to know in general, so if you're so inclined, I'd appreciate answers to as many of the questions as possible. :)



1- So what does "zombie" mean to you?

2- What exactly is a zombie, accoriding to your definition?

3- What causes someone to become a zombie?

4- How did you learn about zombies?

5- Recommend some good zombie movies to me. Tell me why you're recommending them.

6- Recommend some *bad* zombie movies. Tell me why you think they're bad.

7- Tell me your favourite stereotype from zombie flicks. Why do you like it? Why does it work?

8- What's your favourite "stock character" in zombie movies? Why?

9- What stereotype would you most like to see turned on its head? Why?

10- What's your favourite setting for a zombie story?

11- What's the most common "mistake" committed by characters in a zombie story?

12- What sort of "mistake" do you think a modern, zombie-savvy character might make?

13- What do you feel zombie stories have neglected or underdeveloped in terms of plot or characters elements?

14 - Recommend some good zombie-related books. Fiction and "documentary."

15- Recommend some good internet sites about zombies.

Thank you!

Fire! The untamed element!

Yes, it is rumoured that Romero zombies are afraid of fire!

I would love to see some shmuck try that on a Haitian zombie.

Enact the age-old drama of self-preservation.
