The Horror Of The Zombies

Your zombie usually does not behave normally that resembles anything that was once human. Once mutation has occurred, it is easy to tell at first look that that risen zombie is no longer a living member of the human society. Its movement is generally slow with very poor skills and coordination. Its walk is clumsy and unbalanced. This is caused in part by the cellular decay of their nerves and tissue, and also the poor functioning of the portion of the brain that controls functions. Without control of their circulatory and other systems, the body begins to decay quite fast. This rapid decay occurs in all parts of the body including the eyes, leaving zombies with a very poor sense of sight. This makes them even

Although it’s not apparent that a zombie apocalypse will happen or even when it may happen, It is always best to prepare for the worst. Many people believe that if the apocalypse were to occur then the government would protect them during a tragic event. People do not fear or prepare for the Zombie apocalypse because the zombies are too slow and not intelligent enough to take over the human population (Hill, Why the Zombie Apocalypse Wouldn’t Happen).

Ever since the first zombie movie was created in 1932, there has been a constant rise of zombie appearances in popular media. Like with all monsters, the majority of zombie media aimed to represent a certain aspect throughout the society in question. Whereas vampires represented romanticism and Dracula represented how a certain social group was viewed during a certain time period, zombies in Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead” aimed to create a situation whereby a group of people had to survive a night together, despite their racial tensions between one another. Being the founder of all subsequent zombie films, “Night of the Living Dead” provided a guideline for zombie behavior. As time passed, more and more versions of the zombie came out, whereby zombies stopped being a plot device and turned into the focus of the film itself. The Walking Dead, currently standing as the fourth most popular TV series, took a turn from this progression and decided to imitate Romero’s take on zombies. By including zombies which simply aimed to sustain themselves by consuming the flesh of the “live,” the creators of The Walking Dead caused the remaining survivors to gather together and rely on primitive human instinct to survive. Even though the zombies in this series run rampant, they play a very minimalistic metaphoric role. Instead, by presenting the zombies as a plot device, the characters in this series were able to demonstrate their true prejudiced view on society, ultimately revealing

Are brains connect zombies with the end to modern society. Today in modern times everyone is dependent of technology and are society, that going away is terrifying. It terrifies me thinking about having my life taken away from me. I don't want to to give up my minute rice, 24/7 TV, and double stuff Oreos. And I'm sure everyone feels the same way. How we live is like a old sweater we constantly wear and the dryer is like the zombies, you can picture your sweater being destroyed by the dryer. I know it's a strange metaphor, but for some reason it seems to fit. Zombies represent are ever present fear of destruction and fear of evil taking over the living and the dead. In a way when you kill a zombie it's still technically a human body, so really your afraid of other people and even yourself. If you turn you would hurt other people, become a monster that you were afraid of. Becoming what you fear is a huge them when it comes to zombies, assuming that the zombies are the type that can turn you of course. As I once said before, zombies are associated with destruction which can also be taken as a sign of disapproval of

While the idea of zombies or where they were first originated from can be debated by many different countries, several of these myths have reoccurring plots of how humans passed away, and found a way to come back from the dead. No matter what story is being told from around the world about zombies, they all seem to originate from a dark power being used to bring someone back from the dead. Throughout the centuries; however, we have adapted towards our new technology and now many zombie stories include either a deadly virus that escaped from a lab or a biological disease that somehow evolved and helped reanimate people; yet, didn’t completely bring them to life as the functioning citizens they used to be. Although the story of how zombies came to be has changed due to technological advances, in both cases zombies seem to represent a punishment and a plague to the human species and are condemned as evil beings, or ungodly. With increasing popularity in American society, it is evident that the main explanation its popularity are because it depicts survival or an individual or group of individuals, shows a new society that isn’t overly sanitized or censored, gives people with regular lives an opportunity to live vicariously through the characters and furthermore shows that consumerism isn’t a necessity.

Zombies or cannibalistic humanoids are popular among the horror genre of myths and legends. As a result, they have became dominant in the pop culture with their appearance in numerous iconic films and shows. Within these legends, stories or films, zombies have been depicted in different versions. They can either be quick and cunningly vicious or slow and mindless. Some stories even portray them having a smart efficient society where they utilize a strange sense of teamwork. Although all of these versions have its comparisons, zombies always end up having a relation to the infamous virus that infects

War. We are always at war, with ourselves, others, with life ,and with death. We are constantly fighting to come out of these wars as victors, but something is always lost. While fighting to survive, and fighting to keep loved ones safe, innocence is thrust into the backseat. Morals, laws, and order is all lost when our brains and bodies kick into survival mode. When fighting zombies there is no chance to second guess or take a break to question one's actions, because it's a life or death situation. So in this war with zombies, we fight for survival, family, and pray our innocence stays intact. The loss of innocence is inevitable in a zombie apocalypse, because when we are fighting to survive, there is no way to save or maintain our innocence.

A zombie acts different from a regular human in many ways, such as its stiff legged way it walks or the odd moaning and groaning. These things can be caused by the way viruses can affect our body read previously. The zombie’s odd stiff legged movement is caused by damage to the cerebellum, the area in your brain that contains a great deal of neurons. In fact, it contains almost half of the neurons in the entire brain, damage here is known to cause this type of movement. This damage in the cerebellum is called spino-cerebellar ataxia, or just ataxia. The movement is specifically stiff legs, wide stances, and lumbering walking. This is a rare disease, however, if a virus’s main instruction is to attack the cerebellum then it is likely it will no longer be rare. Another common zombie characteristic is the moaning and groaning that comes from that rotted mouth. This is caused by more damage to the brain. This damage, known as Wernicke’s Aphasia, is the cause of speech that cannot be understood: moaning, groaning, and not able to say a single understandable word. Wernicke’s Aphasia also causes a severe inability to understand any spoken words, as well as written words. The damage area of this disease is to the junction of two brain lobes, the temporal and parietal, the massive bundle of connecting become disconnected, making it impossible to do any of the above things. Zombies like to eat flesh and brains, however, I say this more caused by aggression.

As we all know most of us find zombies repulsive, ugly, and scary. Zombies can also connect our fears with death. Zombies are looked at as being fictional and created through a reanimation of a human corpse. Zombies are most likely found in horror films and fantasy genres, but can have connections with history with complex origins.

Zombies have had quite the resurgence within the last decade culturally. Before we got Zack Snyder’s Dawn of the Dead, or the amc show, The Walking Dead, Zombies had simply faded into the background of horror and pop culture. Since George A. Romero’s film Night of the Living Dead, Zombies had really seemed like a one trick pony. They were depicted as slow moving creatures, preying down upon harmless naive teenagers. But after the resurgence of the zombie from films and shows in the early 2000’s, zombies are now everywhere and in all different shapes and sizes. Comics, videogames, shows, books and movies are now just a few of the mediums that zombies are used in media today. Well it now finally seems that Zombies have finally seemed to make

Zombies are people who have died and come back to life. When they come back to life, they don’t think and they don’t know how to act right. All they want to do is eat the living. That’s what zombies are usually like in movies, TV shows and video games. If a zombie apocalypse were to actually happen zombies would be a little different. Scientists have a few ideas of how zombies would actually be if a zombie apocalypse happens.

At this point in history, the fear that was manifested in zombies was the fear of losing control. Zombies were people that were raised from the dead and taken from their graves for the sole purpose of slavery. They were raised from the dead in order to become slaves and do what they were told. Even after death, these creatures had no sense of self-control, and this was terrifying to the general population. The reason this so scary is that zombies cannot be reasoned with; they are insensitive and unfeeling toward the pleas of their victims.

Stephen King’s fore note to Danse Macabre, he suggested that zombies act as fast-moving terrorists. “By 2004, only three years downriver from 9/11, rampant consumerism was the last thing on our minds. What haunted our nightmares was the idea of suicide bombers driven by an unforgiving (and unthinking, most of us believed) ideology and religious fervor. You could beat ’em , burn ’em , but they’d just keep coming, the news reports assured us.” (King 40) Here Stephen King says that terrorists are relentless killers. What Stephen King is not mentioning, is that terrorists are not necessarily fast moving and neither are all zombies. Stephen King is generalizing zombies and terrorists which, makes his argument weaker than it appears. There are many myths about zombies in literature and movies that do not fit the characteristics in which King is discusses. Some other examples of zombies, such as the Resident Evil films, portray zombies in a different way. In Edgar Allan Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart he describes a man with a disfigurement that gives us insight to the true nature of the fear created by zombies.

Wars can be avoided if people is aware of so many troubles they would encounter, and zombies are likely to improve themselves and their capacity If the wars due to the human interventions can be prevented, zombies might be controlled by the scientists and some researchers who contributed their lives in Haiti learning and approaching the fact of the origin zombie. Otherwise, zombies can evolve based on some physically and mentally movements people and society met and more and more possibly lose control by the Haitian and society and finally direct to a zombie apocalypse.  “In a sense, zombification granted one the ability to try on the culture of the Other without any real fear that one would truly become like the Other.” (Chera Kee 22) Kee is one of the experts who indicated that zombie could develop into another creature instead of living dead but still be a

When you wake up in the morning you expect it to be sunny and happy and normal like always. But it wasn't like that for me not today, not this morning. It was dark darker than i had ever seen it. It was like the sun had gone out. Usually if you get up early enough you can see normal people running, trying to get in shape. But what was running past my house was not normal, not even close to normal. You watch movies about zombies thinking how funny and stupid they are and thinking that it would be so cool to have a zombie apocalypse happen that there would be no school, nothing to do. But let me tell you from experience, it is not as cool as it sounds.
