9 Facts about zombie (comment box)

  It wasn’t that long ago racial stereotypes were an acceptable staple of Hollywood films. African Americans, Irish, Chinese, Japanese, Italians, Mexicans and many other ethnic groups have had to fight against the way they’ve been portrayed on film. We have progressed as a people over the years, and yet despite our collective evolution, one group, until very recently, still received a clichéd handling from the media; this group is of course, the Zombies. Only through education can we hope to start acceptance, so forget what you think you know about Zombies, and read on to better understand our undead brethren

1. ZOMBIE DEATH  

         

          As the movie Zombieland taught us, there are many ways to kill a Zombie. Shotguns, banjos, baseball bats, pianos, hedge clippers, and amusement park mallets can all be used as effective tools in the termination of a Zombie, as long as these weapons are aimed squarely at the head of the targeted Zombie.Then again, any normal living human being would also find him or herself waking up dead if they were assaulted in a similar manner. The moral of this story? Zombies are people too, or at least they were once, so let’s abandon the rhetoric of hate and let the healing begin.

2. ZOMBIE DECAPITATION

         

          Even if you have managed to decapitate a Zombie, it would be foolhardy to think you are out of harm’s way. There are as many instances of persistent headless Zombies still stalking around blindly as there are disconnected, ravenous Zombie heads, scooting along the floor looking for a morsel of tasty human tissue. As the armless and footless superhero, Black Panther once noted as he gazed upon the disembodied cranium of the zombified Wasp from the laboratory of Zombie Giant-Man, perhaps Zombie hunger is more psychological than physical. (See the comic book, Marvel Zombies.)

  

3. ZOMBIE APPETITE

        

          Why do Zombies eat brains for sustenance?This time the accusatory finger can be pointed directly at Dan O’Bannon for his 1985 film, The Return of the Living Dead. It is in fact in this movie where the very first utterance of the word “brains” can be attributed to a Zombie. Like liverwurst among the living, brain eating is not for every Zombie, but more an acquired taste. Many are happy to gnaw on calf, or a shoulder, and then there are the occasional Nazi Zombies who have been known to go straight for the groin – a regional delicacy for some German Zombies. (See Dead Snow.)

4. ZOMBIES HAVE RHYTHM 

         

          Thanks to the formerly alive King of Pop, Michael Jackson, most of us are aware that Zombies can not only move quickly and in an organized fashion, but in some cases they can also dance and sing. Now to say all Zombies can dance is just as offensive as saying no Zombies can dance, but a quick tour of YouTube will show you the hoofing prowess of many a shadow being. Feel free to view the fancy footwork in such videos as Jackson’s Thriller, The Zombeatles – A Hard Day’s Night of the Living Dead, and of course the one and only Count Smokula’s, appropriately titled, Zombie.

5. ZOMBIE HYGIENE

         

          To say all Zombies omit a foul odor, while technically true, is patently unjust. In fairness to the undead, they are undead, and that particularly unique character trait does bring about a certain pungent fragrance. Zombie culture has different priorities than most cultures in which the populace is not undead, and therefore they have never concentrated on the simple day-to-day personal sanitation that many of us take for granted. Shampoos, toothpaste and deodorant have very little if any practical meaning to a Zombie. Their days and nights are busy with the preoccupation of consuming the meat of the living. Generally they have precious little time to splash on even a hint of Axe Cologne for Men.

6. ZOMBIE INTELLIGENCE

         

          The Zombie community has had to fight persecution for years. Perhaps the biggest misconception is that ALL Zombies are witless murderous husks. While there are Zombies that can fairly be painted by that brush, there are still a good amount of modern day Zombies who would prefer to be labeled as plotting, scheming, and even diabolical murderous husks. (See the Evil Dead trilogy or Land of the Dead.)      

   

 

7. ZOMBIE INFECTION

         

          As we have learned, some Zombies are created by voodoo, but most modern day Zombies became that way after being bitten by an already infected Zombie. A hungry Zombie may or may not feast on the living flesh of it’s terrified victim, but it may just go straight for the delicious brains, or perhaps all it meant to do was take a bite of its prey - therefore insuring another member to the ranks of the undead army. Regardless, one bite that breaks the skin, no matter how tiny, is all it takes for the infection to eventually take over. Other ways of infection include sharing a drinking glass with a Zombie, not putting the paper down on a toilet seat after a Zombie has used the facility, and having unprotected sex with a Zombie. Just use common sense in these matters.

 

 

8. ZOMBIE SPEED

         

          Zombies owe a great deal of their popularity to film writer / director George A. Romero, and yet they have also had to deal with his artistic depiction as a universal truth for decades. “The Grandfather of the Zombie” familiarized movie-going audiences to what we Zombophiles refer to as the “Slow Zombie.” This is not to say that there are no slow Zombies, but there are also many Zombies who could give Michael Vick serious competition in the 40-yard dash. (See 28 Days Later.) Add that to the fact that some Zombies don’t tire out and maybe the Philadelphia Eagles might upgrade to a different type of monster at quarterback next season.

9. ZOMBIE ORIGINS

           Zombies originally hail from Haiti. Voodoo sorcerers (or bokors) from the Caribbean are believed to be able to revive the dead with magic potions, powders and incantations. Another popular way to zombify a human is to introduce a powerful psychoactive drug into the bloodstream of the living. In both cases, the Zombie in question becomes an obedient slave to the spellcaster. Still another option to turn someone into a mindless drooling drone is to sit them in front of TBS for a few hours during a Tyler Perry marathon.

Zombie In Popular Culture

          The figure of the zombie has appeared several times in fantasy themed fiction and entertainment, as early as the 1929 novel The Magic Island by William Seabrook. Time claimed that the book "introduced 'zombie' into U.S. speech". In 1932, Victor Halperin directed White Zombie, a horror film starring Bela Lugosi. This film, capitalizing on the same voodoo zombie themes as Seabrook's book of three years prior, is often regarded as the first legitimate zombie film ever made, and introduced the word "zombie" to the wider world. Other zombie-themed films include Val Lewton's I Walked With a Zombie (1943) and Wes Craven's The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988) a heavily fictionalized account of Wade Davis' book.

          A new version of the zombie, distinct from that described in Haitian religion, has also emerged in popular culture in recent decades. This "zombie" is taken largely from George A. Romero's seminal film The Night of the Living Dead, which was in turn partly inspired by Richard Matheson's 1954 novel I Am Legend. The word zombie is not used in Night of the Living Dead itself, but was applied later by fans. The monsters in the film and its sequels, such as Dawn of the Dead and Day of the dead, as well as its many inspired works, such as Return of the Living Dead and Zombie Flesh Eaters, are usually hungry for human flesh although Return of the Living Dead introduced the popular concept of zombies eating brains. Sometimes they are victims of a fictional pandemic illness causing the dead to reanimate or the living to behave this way, but often no cause is given in the story. Although this modern monster bears some superficial resemblance to the Haitian zombie tradition, its links to such folklore are unclear and many consider George A. Romero to be the progenitor of this creature. Zombie fiction is now a sizeable sub-genre of horror, usually describing a breakdown of civilization occurring when most of the population become flesh-eating zombies – a zombie apocalypse.

 

Zombie Facts You Need to Know (comment box)

1.   Zombies were once regular Humans but they are a deviant form that occurs when they catch “the Zombie Virus”.

2.   The Zombie Virus itself, it seems, is transferred to a Human when a Zombie Bites them, thus causing excruciating pain and subsequently death. And after a still undetermined period of time, the once normal humans, morph into a Zombie themselves.

3.   A Zombie exists exclusively on a diet of raw Human flesh. They do not consume any other type of food, not other meats, vegetables, fruits, nothing but Human flesh.

4.   Zombies never drink any fluid, of any kind other than the incidental blood that they take in while devouring their normal human counterpart.

5.   Zombies never Urinate or Poop.

v  Hey, I just watched a number of the shows, covering a timeline of months and there was never an instance of a Zombie saying “excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom” or “Hold on a minutes guys, I gotta Pee”.

v  I have not even observed any Zombie Poop lying around on the streets.

v  And let’s admit it, these Zombies are not what you would call the neatest species we have observed, they eat and don’t even wipe their mouths, they have horrible dental care habits, and they always look disheveled, to say the least.

v So, a little Poop, lying around should be expected. Right?

6.   Zombies, once they become Zombies, have a very short lifespan.

v I make this assumption by applying our knowledge of the normal Humans that we have already studied.

v Normal humans must consume food and fluids regularly, and they will die of they do not get at least minimal amounts of both, within weeks and usually days.

v So, if Zombies are morphed Humans and they do not urinate or Poop, then they must die pretty much the same as the normal humans would, or most probably, explode, if they eat like I have seen so far.

7.   Zombies have absolutely no sense of style.

v Their attire is, and i am trying to be kind here, disheveled, wrinkled, torn, and always stained with other people’s blood.

v And, if you look closely, what they do wear, does not fit them well.

v So, we must assume that they just don’t care for fashion at all.

8.   Zombies do not talk or communicate in any way.

v They will follow another Zombie that they see walk by, with the hope that, the other Zombie is going to eat someone, and might share the humans body with them.

v Otherwise the only sounds they make are the occasional growling noises, and even these are rare.

9.   Zombies are very lazy.

v They tend to just lie around until a very stupid, normal human, walks by them. At which point, they will growl and rouse from their stupor and start their chase.

v Here, I must explain that Zombies are very slow and uncoordinated, so a Zombie chase is more of a lumbering walk in the general direction of whatever human roused them from their rest.

10.       Zombies are very uncoordinated and have a horrible sense of balance.

v They walk at a slow, stiff-legged pace, and often must even hold their arms out to maintain their balance.

11.       Zombies get absolutely no medical care, and I assume that they also are uninsurable.

v I mentioned their poor dental hygiene, but they often have limbs missing, eyes dangling from their eye sockets, no lips on their mouths, horrible teeth, and often substantial holes and cuts in their bodies.

v Some even walk around with broken bones jutting from their flesh.

12.        Zombies do have a pack-like code of honor in that they will not eat each other.

v They would rather die of starvation than attack or even say anything insulting to a fellow Zombie, much less eat another Zombie when hungry.

13.       Zombies have very strong jaw muscles.

v I am not sure if this is a result of the strange virus that turns them into Zombies, but they are able to rip enormous pieces of flesh from a normal human’s body in one bite. They never seem to chew their food, and just swallow large chunks before going in for another bite. A very unhealthy habit.

14.       Zombies have no dining etiquette at all.

v Once they have disabled a normal human, they then dine on the body, not with any form of eating utensil. They just continue to tear these large chunks of human flesh from the disabled body until they have eaten their fill.

Are zombies real? Will zombies be covered by universal healthcare? How do I know if that old flame from high school who keeps trying to ‘friend’ me on Facebook is a zombie? All are valid questions and this article will attempt to answer these and other zombie-related questions.

1.   A Brief History of the Zombie

Evidence of zombies dates back to the time of the Pharaohs. For centuries, legend had it that the Sphinx’s nose was broken off by a cannonball fired by Napoleon’s army during his Egyptian campaign (1789-1801). We now know, however, that the missing nose served as a warning to would-be grave robbers that the Valley of the Kings was inhabited by zombies. Zombies, whose diet consists primarily of human brains, typically access their victim’s craniums through the nasal cavities, and mummies, after all, are simply zombies with no fashion sense.

Although the historical record is sketchy, it is known that zombies flourished during “The Black Death” (1347) and other plagues that swept through Europe during the Middle Ages. Zombies eventually migrated to the U.S. via Haiti near the end of the 17th century. Many found New Orleans to their liking and some have theorized that the practice of above-ground burials in the Crescent City suited the zombies’ modus operandi. Others point to zombies’ well known love of jazz music.

2.   Zombie Healthcare

Will zombies be covered by the pending healthcare reform? At this time, no one knows for certain. However many have speculated that provisions for zombies could very well be included if special interest groups get their way. Helen Back, a spokesperson for the American Association for Undead People said, “Insurance companies classify zombiism as a pre-existing condition and routinely discriminate against the undead. Our organization will not support any reform that fails to address this injustice.” A spokesperson for the Obama administration has said that “the term ‘universal’ would, by definition, include zombies,” but opponents accuse the administration of pandering to the zombie vote.
