Don't You Just LOOOOOVE Zombies?

Don't Ya?

Adam Davies
Zombies have got to be THE most commonly used "bad-guy-mutant" creature on the planet. They are in films, games, toys, pictures, everything. The basic idea of a "walking dead person" is quite simple, but throw on decayed flesh, a few boils here and there, rolling eyes, a slow-dragging walking pace and slurred "urghhh" noises and you have yourself a comic winner !

Unfortunetly now, though film makers can attempt to make the Zombie a serious villain, it will never be one. The comic idea of one has grown like fungus throughout the entire Zombie "family", from the humerous normal Zombie, to a serious blood-crazed flesh-munching killing machine. The initial comic of it all has now spread everywhere, and though film makers and the like will try their hardest to make the Zombie image serious, it will never be, unfortunetly. The word "Zombie" now puts a downer on any horror-movie description. Whether it is the traditional Zombie or a hyper-maniac bleeding-at-the-mouth killing machine, it will always be put down.

Shame really.

    In some religious practices, followed by some countries, Haiiti (for example), the 'zombie' is not so grotesque, nor ravenous for human carnage, nor, unfortunately, aware of any of its surroundings or reason for existence. In experiments using oxygen deprivation as a means to study the explored or unused portions of the cognitive construct when deprived of sufficient oxygen, these 'creatures' are made and watched, analyzed by white-coats or common villagers while roaming around unaware of anything 'cept maybe basic survival. Science accounts for many things positively discovered, so I am thinking to understand brain damage in their culture is to study an oxygen-starved victim who develops both retrograde and antrograde amnesia ! Scary huh ?
