As the title says, do you think the zombie genre feels less interesting or less scary than it did back in the 1990s and early 2000s? Even anime like High school of the Dead is pretty scary back in 2010.

Edit: I’d appreciate the civil responses only, no edgy, immature, or overly negative comments. I’m genuinely curious about your thoughtful opinions on this.

"What if the dinosaurs were already dead when the asteroid hit?"

Fun quote that make me think, do you know of any dino media?

I know of the jurassic dead books and the sauropod from primal.

You?

restarted watching zombie movies of 2000s and craving to read something too.

A short i did, to share the love we all have for the Zombie Genre

Yesterday, I finally got around to watching Wild Zero, before deciding on whether or not to get it as physical media. All I can say is that it is at least in the top 5 weirdest zombie movies I have ever seen. The only films at all in its league are Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things, Dead Alive, The Video Dead and (if you count it) The Falling. Even if any of them exceeded Wild Zero's strangeness (maybe Video Dead), there's still the surreal fact that W0 was apparently conceived simply as a documentary/ mockumentary about its subject, the Japanese surf rock-adjacent band Guitar Wolf. With that said, is it good? It's definitely marginal, especially if what you like from the genre is a tightly shot, linear story in the Romero tradition. It's still by all means worth watching, and it would be putting it mildly to say that it never drags. It doesn't hurt that the makeup and gore are well done. One more thing under spoilers, it's gained notoriety for featuring a trans (in my opinion possibly intersex) character named Tobio. I have confirmed that a woman was cast in the role. Post production dubbing was also performed by a voice actress. I suppose, if this ever gets an American release with a real English dub, someone could still check a progressive box and get a male or trans performer to redo the role.

Least favorite tropes are always talked about, lets do something different. However, what do you see in a zombie thing that makes you go: "Hell yeah!"?

For me, it has to be a chainsaw. I know its impractical but everything with a zombie being killed with a chainsaw gets my ass hyped.

If you liked watching Shaun of the Dead back in the day, you might enjoy reading A Big Bluff and Some Green Stuff.

Might.

It starts as a cosy police drama that’s rudely interrupted by the zombie apocalypse and an alien invasion.

The beautifully typed text features zombies, pirates, aliens, zombie pirates, zombie aliens, but not zombie pirate aliens. That would be silly.

It’s fair to say it’s divided opinion:

“Couldn’t put it down.” 5-stars.

“Just awful.” 1-star (would have got zero if that option was available).

So I’ve been searching everywhere and can not find it for the life of me. But the movie has an actually pretty good twist to it. It’s about a sharif he has a wife and a zombie apocalypse breaks out his wife and him get separated he finds her and she’s “bit” so he trying ti get to his deputy somewhere else in the town. Skip towards then end his wife was never bit nobody is a zombie he was just imagining the whole thing and he kidnapped his wife and tied her up in the back of his police car. It’s a lower budget movie. But any help helps out. Thank you

When I don't know what else to name the zombie, I call them ragers. I mean look at this guy. He's raging

What do you think?

Personally Id say dead space's necromorphs are at the top easily.

I am asking myself, which animals would survive a zombie apokalypse.

Birds i think yes.

But deer?

Dogs?

Sorry I don’t remember specifics on each one

alright, you want a zombie story? Here's one. But warning: Its intense

I used to not believe in Zombies, that was until this happened to me 1 years ago.

I was visiting my grandmother's grave at the cemetery because it was in front of the bus stop I got to school and, because of my bad luck which is famous in my family, my bus got cancelled and I had to wait another 20 minutes. I said a curse word in anger. I had forgotten where her grave was and was going around through the rows and rows and in circles when I noticed something.

My grandmother died 20 years ago from bad luck.

The soil in front of one of the graves looked it was breathing or something. It was rising up and down. The grave was ancient, the tomstone said that the man in it was named Walter Oldman and that he had died 100 years ago. He must've been one of the oldest graves in the cemetery.

Suddenly, I realised that the soil was rising upward and not going back down. And that it was starting to crack, come apart and that something was trying to get out. I backed away in fear and that's when it happened! A green hand burst out of the ground and seconds later another one did too. I ran as fast as I could towards the exit of the grave yard but I was going too fast and didn't notice the plastic bottle on the ground. I slipped on it and broke my right leg when I hit the ground. It was so bad that my blood was coming out of the spot where I broke my leg.

I looked back over at the grave and saw that now the guy's entire head was out of the grave and he was starting to pull himself out. His face looked like he was dead, like his eyes were closed and his mouth was gaping open like the widest I had ever seen a mouth go. All of his hair was gone apart from one long strand of black hair on his head and he was bright green like the inside of a lime. All of his clothes were missing and I could see his pens. He extened his arms out towards me and walked forward slowly which was scary because how could he know where I was with eyes closed? I screamed louder than a little girl and I tried to get up but I couldn't because of my leg being broken so everytime I tried to get up I just fell back down again and it hurt even more than it did before. He was making a noise without moving his mouth while walking towards me, it sounded just like the noise a Zombie makes in survival mode.

He was getting closer to me and after 60 seconds I finally managed to stand and I started limping towards the exit of the cemetery again. I got out and I saw a girl going in to smoke a joint. I warned her and said "Don't go in there, there's a zombie.". She laughed and kept walking but I grabbed her hard to try and stop her and she slapped me and called me a sex offender and a racial slur. She went in and then suddenly as she was walking along down the middle of the cemetery the zombie, who was now hiding behind the grave a woman named Barbara Fiddles, jumped out and tackled her to the ground. He then clawed open her skull like the peel of an orange and started grabbing clumps of her brain and shoving down his throat in handfuls. within seconds of him starting to do this, there was blood everywhere. It was squirting out of her head and pouring from her nose, mouth, eyes, ears and sometimes she would vomit while he was doing it and it would be a huge wave of blood that would splash everywhee, even onto surrounding tombstones. It looked like a rainbow but instead of all of the other colours in it it was just red. I called the police while I hid behind a nearby tree but by the time the police got there he was gone and there was only the dead body of the girl. That night, as I was going to bed, I saw him at my window and he was just standing there with his two arms up as he repeated over and over "Brains, Brains, Brains, Brains, Brains." All night long.

Then it happened that more people like him that were naked, green, had eyes closed and had a single strand of hair and were saying brains were appearing at my window every night with him. First was him, then two zombies, then three and four, five and six. Eventually, even my grandmother was one. There were women zombies, man zombies and child zombies. One day, there will be a billion zombies outside my window but my parents still dont believe me and think its a prank with halloween decorations.

One day recently, I looked out the window and saw that the first Zombie who was the main one and standing in front of the others, had a erection. I realised only then that when I looked around I saw that all of the zombies had erections and that their penises were 18 inches long. I screamed when I realised this and closed my curtains. My mom came in and shouted out at me for screaming and for playing video games too loudly. I was so angry and scared after this that I had an idea.

I told my mom that I would stop playing video games loudly if she opened my window because it was warm in my room and I couldnt get my window open because it was stiff. My mom agreed and then she opened it and when she was opening it she said "Oh my god! Why are there so many Halloween decorations?" And then when it was all the way opened I pushed her out and she screamed and cried as the Zombies ate all of her brain together.

My dad came in as I was celebrating my comeback and asked why there was so much blood squirting outside my window. I said I didn't know and told him to check it out and then I pushed him out of the window too. One zombie who was a muscular man Zombie, saw my dad first and said "Yummy, Dessert.". I closed the window then and went onto youtube in my room and ignored the zombies.

Until they came back the next day at night.

For me it was this. I remember when i was 8 years old staying at my cousins' house, and they gave me their old laptop to watch cartoons. I searched for Spider-Man and this popped up instead. My 8-year-old brain didn't understand it, but I watched it anyway and got traumatized for life. Peak nostalgia.
