Hey everyone. So I'm looking for a really good zombie game that I haven't played which is hard. I've played most of them. But if yall know any zombie games that aren't multiplayer only like left for dead or wwz etc that are really good that I've not played please. Let me know below I'm searching right now though I fear I've played all the good ones. I'm on ps5, xbox series x and Nintendo switch.

I've played

All resident evils All dead risings All cod zombie games all dead islands All dying light All walking dead games (yes even destinies unfortunately..waste of money) Lollipop chainsaw All the last of us games All the evil within All outlast (idk if that counts or not they're like monsters but not exactly zombies?) Days gone Callisto protocol (again idk if it counts or nah) All dead space games (same again. Idk)

My boyfriend loves anything zombies, especially all the Romero films and the World War Z book.

He’s looking for a book that will give him the same feeling as World War Z. He appreciates a different/original take on the genre too - the TV show ‘Dead Set’ for example is another of his favourites (a zombie apocalypse breaks out while the show Big Brother is being filmed and we see the perspective from inside the house, which is cut off from the outside world).

Anybody got a recommendation? He prefers a book written in first person, but I’ll take any ideas!

All the threads ask what you do if you wake up in a zombie apocalypse but all of them are from the standpoint of the average Joe who has the only job to ensure it’s own survival and at most that of it’s family; but let’s imagine you have a fairly high position in the hierarchy of your own country so you can issue orders that can save many people and even avoid or delay the collapse. We are in the initial phase reports of a strange disease that reanimate the dead (so the virus is like twd anyone who die naturally or got bitten transform) have begun to come from many sources, domestic officials, foreign nations, OMS etc what you do? What orders you issue?

I’ve been looking for this series for a while. It was on Amazon Prime at one point, and had 10 Episodes. I don’t remember what it was called but I remember the final episode was labeled “to the bitter end”

An interesting story beat was the Barracuda Diamond (which is apparently made up) baseball stadium that burns on fire and they are forced to flee eventually Merton up with pirates in a large battle.

I remember that Adriel Werikai and Lev Kroshenko were in it, but not any other cast or crew.

Anyone know what it is?

Just rewatched dawn of the dead for the first time in a long time and my only problem with the ending really is since michael already knows he was bitten y tf doesn't he stay back and hold the zombies off so CJ doesn't have to and then die for no reason when the other guy was already dying

So, in a bout of spectrum-induced zombie hyperfixation, I started thinking about just how quickly zombies could propagate in a Romero-styled scenario. After all, in Night of the Living Dead, it seems they're just about everywhere in a matter of hours or days from the presumed start of the phenomenon.

My question was could all those who died of relatively natural causes in the time after dead bodies began to be reactivated really kill and turn that many people in such a short span of time? It's not the first time this has been asked, and it remained a bit of a head scratcher up until I realized that I (and I imagine many others) hadn't accounted for one crucial detail: the already deceased. By that, I mean the bodies of everyone who died prior to the start of the phenomenon.

Now, yes, I'm aware of the "recently unburied dead" line in Night of the Living Dead that seems to imply that only those who died after the start of the phenomenon would reanimate. But this simply isn't true, as there's a ton of evidence across the entire span of Romero's universe of bodies killed long before the phenomenon's start still reanimating (various zombies embalmed, autopsied, or in advanced decay in both versions of Night as well as Dawn, and outright confirmed in Romero's book, The Living Dead). More likely, that line is an early misconception resulting from limited evidence. At best, you could say that buried bodies are somehow unaffected, but I just don't see how or why that would be the case.

So, assuming that any corpse with an intact brain would be reactivated, how many zombies would there be to start off with? Well, it turns out that there are so many variables determining the speed of decomposition that it's impossible to know this for certain, but I've found the most common average time for a body to start liquefying to be around a month after death. After that point, I imagine the zombie would be, at best, very significantly weakened. Otherwise, whatever mechanism slowing a Romero zombie's decomposition would kick in and create a fairly healthy, capable ghoul.

So, the world death rate in 2024 is 170,790 deaths per day. Multiplying that by the approximate number of days in a month, you would get about 5.2 million zombies globally at the very start of the outbreak. I do believe this number would be overall smaller accounting for every single variable, but even a fraction of this amount would be catastrophic and something I could absolutely see quickly leading to the full-on zombie infestation in Night.

In short, I think the world would be even more cooked in Romero's apocalypse than most people realize because of the amount of reanimated bodies that we would be starting with. And this is not accounting for the extra hundred thousand or so deaths that would continue to occur, the exponential growth of the zombie infection, or the snowball effect of people just fucking dying to zombies and the ensuing chaos. So, yeah...

If there's anything unrealistic about Romero's movies, it's that it took as long as it did for society to collapse.

My Top 5 Favorite Zombie Movies are:

5. Zombieland 2

6. Night of the Living Dead Remake

7. Day of the Dead (85)

8. Re-Animator (85)

9. Return of the Living Dead (85)

Zombies haunt my dreams almost every night, and when my little brother pretends to be one (to scare me), it doesn’t even look realistic and I still end up screaming murder and freezing up. Help me get over this fearrrrr 😖

If you had access to an actual zombie rage virus, would you release it? Why or why not please.

You could swipe the zombies away with your finger on the touch screen and use guns to shoot them down. I remember it being a 2D game with your House in the middle and the zombies approaching left and right. Does anyone remember its name? Or even know where to play it?

Having a debate with a friend, not sure if this sub can help, but I’m trying to find out what the earliest instance of a zombie hand coming through the ground was? Can be in a book or a film, ideally both, but I’m asking what is the earliest instance of a zombie crawling out of a grave by sticking its hand straight up was. Any help is much appreciated xx

I loved the first, and pretty much hated the second.The 2nd one feels too generic, with worse acting, story and score. The zombies are nerfed hard, even outside their weakness too electricity, they feel far weaker and much slower. In addition, it fails to highlight the pain the dead are in, with Joey and Ed's deteriating health being downplayed and generally just less interesting.

The original was fun, but not stupid, and while I wasn't all that scared by either, the first had far better atmosphere, with a constant sense of dread by all.

What are your thoughts?

Hey Reddit, I need help identifying a zombie movie I watched a long time ago, probably around the 90s or early 2000s. Here's what I remember:

The film centers on a female character who becomes a zombie after she dies (I believe it was due to some kind of violence or assault).

She tries to retain some of her humanity by wearing makeup to hide her decaying appearance.

At one point, there's a scene where she’s in the shower, and her hair falls out, which causes her to cry in distress.

There’s a clear distinction between humans and zombies in the movie, and the zombies, though "dead," are portrayed as still having some human qualities.

The zombies are marginalized and face discrimination from the living, almost like a metaphor for racism.

The female zombie eventually makes the man she meets turn into one as well.

The tone is dark and dramatic, with a focus on the emotional and physical transformation of the zombie.

I remember it being a very atmospheric film, possibly from the UK, and it had a darker, more serious tone compared to other zombie movies.

Does anyone know what movie this might be?

Which characters from non-zombie media do you think would survive in the zombie apocalypse?

So, if I remember correctly, in most Zombie movies it goes like this: If you die and your brain is not damaged, you'll become a zombie. Now here's my question I've been thinking about:

What if a pregnant woman carries a dead baby...will that baby turn into a zombie and infect her from the inside out by scratching? Or does the womb act as a shield? As long as the woman's a normal human, so will be the dead baby?

Hi everyone! I’m currently working on a video essay trying to compile zombie media and discuss its reflection on middle America, social isolation, the “rugged individualist” trope, and its critique of American institutions.

My focus is primarily media representing cultural Americana, particularly its tie to southern practices and traditional American folk music

Again I’d like to highlight a particular history of its adaption but I’m a bit lacking in terms of material, so far I got the following as CONTENDERS:

-White Zombie (1932) -Romero Trilogy -The Last of Us games -The Walking Dead (comic series) -Re-Animator -Carnival Souls -Return of the Living Dead -Left 4 Dead

So again, these are just my contenders I’m working on piecing a final list together. While I do have some necessary spots to fill in I.e. most influential, first depiction of American Zombies, first depiction of Zombies in their modern form (post-Haitian depiction), I’d also like some more obscure works which tie into the rest thematically. These can be any form of media or art, be it books, paintings, comics, games, tv shows, music, etc.
