Charlotte Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I enjoyed it. I have a question though (which is a bit of a spoiler I suppose). How come some zombies stay alive - ie are zombies roaming around and others are eaten completely? Is it that you're only eaten if you're a horrible person or that you taste particularly nice? And I thought zombies only ate brains, I saw lots of stomach parts.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Depends on the zombie doesn't it? Reanimated corpses of any kind can be zombies, depends how it happened. You can reanimate people with voodoo but then they only do what you ask of them, like robbing banks and stuff. The films normally give a disease as the reason for zombification, so you'd have to find the symptoms of the particular disease. Usually they're still dead though and can't think for themselves, so really it should either be eat or turn, not being able to choose who they turn.

Yeah but how do they decide 'ooo his stomach looks nice for eating' or 'I'll just bite you a little bit and turn you into one of me'?

tbourner Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Maybe it's fluke, which bit they grab first. If they fill up on the first one's guts the next one just gets turned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I think it depends on when the Zombie last fed Typically a Zombie would just want to go for the brain... but if they've been wandering about a lot and are therefore hungry, they can sometimes go for more, guts etc. If the corpse is 'in tact' enough to walk around following the attack, when it turns it will reanimate. If it's basically a bunch of guts, obvious it won't move around a lot. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I'm still not satisfied enough with your responses. I want to know if I will be good enough to become a walking zombie, should the time ever come that zombies will take over the world - perhaps sooner than we think if Obama becomes pres.

Perhaps pictures should be provided of what you look like now and then someone could photoshop u into a zombie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 It's always best to get a random scrape while out hunting Zombies with friends. That way they can take you to safety; you die, 'turn' and soon you'll be on your feet as a full time member of 'the walking dead' - with all of your limbs in tact. The down side is, if any of your friends are too compassionate to let you die alone (it's only a scratch etc. classic denial), they may still be in the vicinity when you do come back. In which case, you'll no doubt want to eat their brain - and they'll be roaming the streets with you before long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 But how will my undead self know who I'll want to hang around with, I mean what if for example I want to eat my boss and leave my friend? How will I know? How???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How will I know? How???? You won't I'm afraid. You'll just be a mindless wandering corpse feeding off the living until you get shot in the head, or axed to death. Sorry about that. Other 'undead' solutions are available. Have you thought about being bitten by a Vampire or Werewolf? Zombies really are the bottom of the undead food chain.

Have you thought about being bitten by a Vampire or Werewolf? Zombies really are the bottom of the undead food chain. I think I'd rather be a vampire actually. Werewolf would be a bit awkward with that whole full moon thing, could get embarrassing asking people to lock me away especially work colleagues. Vampires look cool and you can still wear clothes and stuff. However, you can never know what you look like so how they always look so good is a mystery to me.

tbourner Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Don't they use mind control? Like Drac? So they probably actually look all dead and horrible but make people 'see' what they want to look like? Which is nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lust2luv Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Vampires look cool and you can still wear clothes and stuff. However, you can never know what you look like so how they always look so good is a mystery to me. Just use a video camera / screen as a mirror. Good luck with it. Loved Dead Set BTW, Romeratastic! (apart from the running) Liked the NOTLD quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
