I love World War Z - especially the audio version.

I would love a series where each episode follows one character through their story as told to the narrator.

Which account/interview is your favourite?

Which do you think could spin off into its own full-blown story?

Bonus: What parts of the world that are not in the book would you think would be interesting to learn about during the war?

When I was a kid I saw a mockumentary on the history/discovery channel (or similar) that scarred me for life and gave me an irrational fear of zombies because at the time I believed it to be a real documentary. I’m trying to figure out what it was though so I could possibly watch it again and realize it wasn’t as terrifying at 10 year old me remembers it. The only details I remember about it are that it took place in New Orleans, the premise I believe was that a crew was investigating a possible local voodoo witch creating the undead, and that the members of the crew by the end are eventually infected and/or killed by the zombies. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Why is it so common for zombie/apocalypse media to have child predators or those type of scenes specifically with children. From the top of my head I already have 3 examples of these (Carl twd, the army guys in 28 days later and Ellie from tlou)

Do you think Zombies may be getting old and worn out as a concept and genre?

What if we take the Zombie concept to the cellular level, you could still have functional zombies but their flesh could warp and adapt, merge and grow or split off into smaller slithering things.

Then you could have anything from the Blob, the Thing, Alien, Werewolf, Kaiju all from taking the Zombie concept to the cellular and genetic levels.

Imagine a zombie moving towards you on a broken body then it's flesh stretching out towards you as tentacles or its head turning into a spider thing and jumping at you. Or, it throwing a hand at you and the hand scuttles towards you.

Or does this break the Zombie cannon?

I don’t remember the movie/series, pls help.

There was a woman that was immune to the virus but the embryo in her womb wasn’t. Bad for her the baby killed her from inside.

Does anyone know the source? Because I don’t find it…

i liked busan, but i disliked every other to a point that i just ignore any korean zombie movie. I’m losing something guys? is there something i shouldn’t ignore?

These are my own thoughts about a potential new The Walking Dead Game that could be a great and unique idea that hasn't been done in the genre yet.

A new TWD game should lean into a mili-sim tactic driven survival horror game. Develop the game into something that plays like Swat 4, or Ready Or Not with bot team mates, tactics and command units in a zombie scenario set during the early outbreak ☢️

They should focus the narrative as a classic tribute homage to George A. Romeros Dawn Of The Dead 1979, with our protagonist team being conscripted police units trying to protect citizens but also to try and contain the situation that's growing worse too

Locations that our team could be sent into would be farmhouses, apartment complexes, government residences, city parks, underground bunkers, malls, grocery stores, and other homage tribute locations

During levels we could have environmental events and narrative world building happen naturally. They could have moments such as cars driving into the buildings exploding, citizens we can choose to save or abandon which could leave them getting jumped by a massive horde of zombies which shows them being devoured and torn apart greusomely in game

The HUD and user interface should be animated in a body cam style filter that would allow players to feel personal and up close with the horror situation it would also give the zombies/world a more tight and uncomfortably realistic perspective to the area

It would be terrifying to have developers showcase actual zombie movie style deaths for our character teams or npcs in the world if they get too injured or get taken down by the massive zombie hordes. It can give us brutal, greusome deaths that aren't as often done in most zombie games due to the team

Human enemy encounters such as looters, raiders, gangs, corrupt officers/military scavengers can be random encounter boss enemy types, but the slow zombie hordes should be the main focus of the IP.

Our main character, as well as the other team units should be custom created from their voices, to the looks/outfits worn by them for the personal story.

Music should be synthetic 70s/80s type of music to really capture that atmospheric survival horror classic zombie feeling. This would make the game stand out a lot from everything else being done ☢️

Weapons should be simple use firearms, and more that can be scavenged through levels and sections with some weapons being able to upgraded with a flashlight duck taped to the gun, or some knife set on the front as a melee weapon to use for zombies

Zombies should sound like moaning, soulless and Haunted creatures that feel like their still trapped in their bodies but can't get out, not monstrous new zombie type sounds you see in the Walking Dead. This could also make the game stand out because it would make them feel more psychologically and nightmare fuel inducing horror, and not bizarre tbh.

The game should be single player, with A.I. team mates, but also have optional online co-op.

Mission structures should be:

Rescue hostages

Secure intelligence reports

Eliminate unchecked hordes in buildings

Scavenge for medical supplies and tools

Deactivate bombs created from raiders

Eliminate dangerous individuals in the area

Destroy massive hordes and look for anyone.

Eliminate anyone infected thats left unchecked

Years ago I saw a zombie movie in which American soldiers came dead back in the USA from a war and reanimated there as zombies .

But the zombie soldiers didn't attack the Americans.

In one scene, a zombie soldier was served by a waitress in a diner and got sympathy from the customers

It was also about some party intrigue and elections.

I didn't see the middle and end.

​

Do you know the movie?

What's the name?

Hi, im traying to find a movie name that i watched a long time ago, maybe more than 14 years ago, I cant remember the movie name but i remember some of the plot.

The movie was passing in like a underground tunnel or laboratory were something was wrong and then started appear a los of MUTANTS/ZOMBIES (?) that can FIGHT and RUN. I cant remember the plot of the movie but i can remember THE FINAL of the movie.

In the final of the movie the protagonist (?) fights with the mutant/zombie while there was a girl
unconscious on the ground, the protagonist (?) wins and they ESCAPED by a hatch and 5 seconds after of that the mutant/zombie HAND appears in the final frame and the movie suddenly ENDS.

Sorry if this isn't clear at all but is all that i can remember. If you can help me i will be very grateful

Out of these options, which do you think would be the worst/least survivable?

View Poll

Decided on a whim to rewatch all of Romero's Of The Dead movies and chronicle the timeline since there's debate as to when certain movies take place. First, apparently Romero shared the official order with the co-writer of a book called "The Living Dead."

Quoting the co-writer (admittedly, I'm taking this from Wikipedia):
"If you ignore the decade shifts, as he did...the timeline is, and I have this memorized now: Night of the Living Dead, Diary of the Dead, Survival of the Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Land of the Dead, and Day of the Dead. He'd only gone five years into the future.“

And frankly, it makes sense based on what we see in the movies:

1. Night Of The Living Dead: takes place during the first day and night of the zombies rising, as well as the morning of day 2.

2. Diary Of The Dead: the night of day 3, all of day 4, the morning of day 5. We know this because the expository dialogue explains during the first three days of the outbreak, they couldn't get any clear info out of the news as to what the chaos is all about, which is why they ended up downloading the footage from the prelude/first scene within the last three days of Debra finishing the documentary. The rest of the movie takes place from the night of October 24 to the morning of October 26, so math tells us which day the movie starts on.

3. Survival Of The Dead: flashback to day 4, flashback to day 6, the rest of the movie takes place on the night of day 27 and all of day 28. Text on screen tells us the second flashback is on day 6 and also that the rest of the movie starts three weeks later.

4. Dawn Of The Dead: Covers months 2-7 (maybe 8) of the outbreak. At some point between days 6 and 27 in Survival, the public, media and government all finally agree that this is an actual zombie outbreak. Dawn starts off three weeks after this unknown date (the newscasters on air claim to have been arguing with each other about what to do with the zombies for three weeks) and lasts multiple months (Francine is a few months pregnant but not showing at the start, and just about ready to pop at end of the film).

5. Land Of The Dead: About 3 years after Dawn. Specifically, Dawn chronicles the fall of Pennsylvania and the US at large. This means the fall of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania occurs while they're in the mall. Fiddler's Green would be established as a safe haven during this fall of Pittsburgh. Chulo has been working for Kaufman since that time and when they have their falling out, Chulo says it's been three years that he's been working for him.

6. Day Of The Dead: While onscreen, we only know it has to be at least 370 days since Diary (the calendars on the walls show that it's October 31st, but it's been months since they lost contact with all of civilization, so it can't just be 5 days after Diary), it actually does make sense for this film to take place at some point after Land. The mention that they've tried both long-range and short-range radio frequencies and haven't been able to contact anybody for months. This would suggest that the fall of Fiddler's Green has already occurred (since they used radios), placing Day at the end of the timeline. Also worth noting that the script apparently says it's been 5 years since the dead started to rise, but this isn't shown or stated on-screen.

I never really got into the show but Ive seen some stuff that makes me think the recent episodes/Daryl Spinoff might have running zombies.

Check out the game HERE and also check out its prequel, Survivalist (You can find the link under the description I believe).

It's an indie game being developed by one single guy for the past 4 years, and it's still receiving updates at an average frequency of about once every 2 months. This game contains:

• Shit ton of bugs because it's early access
• Shit graphics and animations because it's an indie game
• Fleshed out NPC AI system with factions, alliances, wars, and everything. Basically what Project Zomboid has been trying to make for the past 11 years. AI survivors can be stupid as fuck sometimes but they proceed to become less dumb and more realistic in each update. After the latest update, NPCs can now form new relationships with each other over time.
• Colony management
• Fleshed out base building mechanics (Actually kind of simplified but still beats State of Decay's building system by a mile)
• Randomized world generation for Sandbox Mode
• Character customization (You can customize the appearance, name, gender, personality, and skills of your player character)
• Permadeath
• Survival mechanics (Survivors need food, water, and shelter to survive. They can also get infected by zombie bites which can usually be treated with the right type of medication, but some strains of the disease are incurable)
• Other cool stuff such as animals, drivable vehicles, and farming.

I just wanna have them as a collection anything non virus is fine too

Aside from it being a virus and the people searching for a cure of course.

I watched the whole thing on Youtube a few weeks ago. I'm going to give a quick review of it without spoiling anything major.

It's about two former baseball players, Ben and Mickey, travelling across New England after the zombie apocalypse. Ben has fully embraced the nomadic lifestyle of constantly being on the road killing zombies, while Mickey yearns for a more "civilized" lifestyle that the apocalypse has already destroyed. To cope with the situation, Mickey is almost always wearing his headphones listening to music, which Ben disapproves of since it puts both of them in danger.

Someone once referred to this film as "Project Zomboid: The Movie", and I can see why they said so. The zombies are slow, weak, dumb, and hardly pose a threat to the main characters until the climax of the film, and the movie focuses on the more mundane and psychological aspects of the apocalypse instead of action, just like in Project Zomboid.

Overall I think it was a great movie. It was made with a budget of only $6000, and the filming only took 15 days. However the acting was great, the characters were well developed and realistic, the soundtrack was amazing, there are some pretty funny moments ("If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck... then it probably is a fucking zombie!") and the ending was satisfying too.

My favorite part of the movie: Bearded Drunk Dancing. The Battery 2012 OST - YouTube

Anything is acceptable. I also LOVE Zombieland <33
