afaik there’s only one show on tv with ‘zombie’ types and that is TWD.
Because werewolves, vampires and witches have been over done.
(DH says that it is because it is fun to see what democrats really look like under the makeup.)
It’s a metaphor for conservatives vs. obamavoters.
A few years ago, it was all vampire, all the time
Paging Laz. You seem to be up-to-date on this phenom, and I’ve been wondering about the topic myself....
The zombie apocalypse is a
Thinly veiled reference to societal collapse when
EBT cards stop working and the ravening masses erupt
I was in downtown san francisco this past week. Sprinkled in among the crowds were bums wandering around on the streets. They all had zombie looks in their faces.
I don’t like zombies either. I don’t find them scary...I find them gross.
“I like my monsters scary and predominately unappealing, but there are always exceptions. “
Zombies are zombies, just dead. TWD honors the zombie persona by actually affirming that they are not diseased/infected humans (World War Z, 28 days later etc) but reanimated corpses which is the most accepted theorem. In addition, I prefer my vampire on screen as the 30 Days & Nights’ vampire (bloodthirsty animal type) vs the faggot vampire (Twilight).
It’s part of the reality tv craze. [footnote: 2006 election, 2008 election, 2012 election]
Pop culture may be considered by some as popular, but it contains very little, if any, culture.
because they are everywhere f***ing up everything.
I think that the Zombie genre is just about dead! Har! Har! Har!
Take a stroll through your typical day and have a good look around yourself; it’s not necessary to ask why zombie shows are so popular - the zombies are already here and their Liberal philosophy is taking bites out of you every day of the week.
I’d say it’s the latest craze, like vampires a few years go. Also, makeup and effects make it more interesting to watch than pre-HD era. More detail and more gross stuff.
On King I understand you, but for one book and that is his novel ‘The Stand’. How he turned out such a great book is beyond my understanding.
The diminishing unions have to do something...
I honestly don’t get it. I’ve enjoyed fantasy and horror and gaming for decades, almost my entire life. Zombies were always the gratuitous ‘trash mob’ threat to adventures, easily dispatched, and usually the matrix for some more interesting threat.
I’ve asked the younger people - 20-30 somethings, what it was about. The two main answer categories I have gotten is that it is a horde of enemies for which there is no guilt involved when destroying them; or that they are a kind of metaphor for mindless, shambling mediocrity and failure which thinking young people recognize surrounds them on all sides.
Those are the explanations I’ve gotten. The zombie thing bores me rigid to be honest.
