A zombie holocaust. here is the place to post what you think would be the GOOD brought about by 75% of the world's population turning into flesh eating zombies.

No more bipartisan bickering. Sure, there would still be some idiots that would say "This is the democrat's fault." but with no government, you could just cap him in the forehead.

No more taxes. No more IRS.


Downside: no internet.

I dunno...I'm not really seeing a 'downside'...

A little one sided on the bipartisan bickering issue aren't we? ;)

We'd get the net up and running, come to think of it we probably wouldn't need to. The intelligent ones here would probably end up at the same place anyway as the last survivors.

A world filled with horror fans...yummy :D

We can grow corn though and make corn and dry corn and then use a mangifying glass (that's a glass that turns everything to anime when you look through it) to start a fire then we can make pop corn

with no new horror books, movies, etc to ever come again in the forseable future, and no electricity to waste to watch the old ones.UUUURRRGGGEEEE......The 25% who are left will number in the MILLIONS...and we won't ALL be incompetent :p


I guess I just imagined all the drunk drivers, pedophiles, rapists, and other 'less intelligent' people dying...Because, they wouldn't be intelligent enough to figure out how to stay alive...Right?


That was my automatic thought process anyway...

You're forgetting about those of us with skills. If it were to ever happen I think after a while we would weed out those who just want to kill and then could focus on work. I think most of us know how to get and use generators (some of us can even fix them) right? So there would be electricity for a while which would give everybody time to gather solar panels and other equipment that would allow a group to live comfortably. It would be a lot of work in the beginning but I think fortification and a comfortable lifestyle would be possible.

Oh, and Rod could write and act out plays, we can watch him dance and laugh at him in his girly tights.

Thats what i was getting at with the internet. I think the few coal plants and nuclear plants that dont crap out wiull give electricity for a while, but its not like anyone will be mining new coal, and the power plants will probably all melt down, since there wouldnt be anyone to regulate them. Imagine once reactors start runningout of water and overheat. we wouldnt need bombs to create a radioactive wastelend.

I could have my own penthouse apartment...with a generator, and large supply of ammo....I could find a group of human refugees and fall in love with the black chick with the afro only to be speared by the waterfountain after giving my blood as an antidote.



hmmm....wrong movie

I could hold up in a shopping mall............

Different obviously, I would hope groups of people would move if things started to become devided by class and a false government began to pop up. Instead of one huge city I believe smaller and more contained fortifications would be the answer.

I would like to state that in this scenario, no zombies ever become "smart". they actually get dumber because, duh, their brains are rotting.

Look around you, the zombie plague has already hit. Everywhere you go you see people just going through the motions, not so much living life as simply enduring it.

We are the living dead...death stalks us all and will inevitably rend our flesh.

reminds me of Jurrasic Park: The Lost World (the book, not the movie). Ian Malcom says at one point that people no longer count as being sentient beings. The average person does not have a real sense of self, there is no soul searching or self discovery, just plowing through daily routines, just like an ant.

However, in my scenario, they actively try to kill and eat you. Thats at least a little different. :)

Your life would be the horror movie. thats the ultimate. why do we watch horror movies? to be scared? to see violent and gorey images that we would otherwise not, in the safety of our own homes? imagine the whole world as the stage and a never ending horror movie with you as the star. it would be sweet and unimaginably horrible at the same time. has anyone read cell by stephen king?

I watch movies and read books, in part, to be entertained. There's nothing entertaining about real death and slaughter.

anyone here able to seperate fantasy from reality ?

anyone who becomes so consumed by horror FANTASY/FICTION needs to step back and get a grip.

I agree, I don't see how anybody could sit and watch a living dead movie and get the urge to live it out.

When you look at the other disaster's we've "dealt with" recently, do you REALLY think we could survive any kind of zombie outbreak? 99.9% infected or dead in under two weeks.

You're looking at very small areas of the world, human beings have endured through plagues and terrible wars... it wouldn't be millions but there would be survivors.

humans will also survive the next ice age ..

we can survive almost anything ... but i hardly think it is going to be 'fun'

Unless you think a daily battle just to survive until the next dawn is "fun". Same thing with the zombie premise. I understand thinking about it, planning out a little fantasy of what you would do inside your head, but do people really expect fun? Having to kill your loved ones, fight off hordes every day, live on whatever scraps of food you can find probably having to resort to rotten food on more than one occasion...
Yeah, sounds like a blast.

You think we'd endure through a 75% world infection of zombies? Think of the flies, the disease... which aren't even the worst part.

Haven't you guys learnt anything from watching those George Romero movies? Those people are having an awful time. Always wondering when a zombie was going to try to chomp you. Holy jeepers! Zombies would suck! A lot! You would be running out of stuff to use on them real quick. Unless maybe you made good use of a cricket bat or something, and just went around swinging it at these things.

Diagnosis: Antisocial Personality Disorder- Psychopathic/Sociopathic behaviour-

The disorder: Cannot distinguish between fantasy and reality- Tends to see self above humanity or considers humanity as unreal, inferior to self, or as objects- no care for anything but its self- Direct link to APD and serial killers

Treatment: None in anyone above puberty

Solution: Total isolation from society or putting affected out of its and our misery.

Buddy, you're fitting the profile, here. Hope you're just bullshitting or else we're going to have to hunt you down and for the betterment of our survival send you back to the Gods in hopes that you'll be born into a better life.

As for a "zombie holocaust," I'm kinda with Urge on this. For me, I see you guys saying "Whoa cool," because you really don't understand the part about having to pop a cap in the head of your wife, husband, best friend, your child because they were bitten by your best friend, husband, wife, girlfriend." What if you get bitten, and you've gotta go up to your compadres and tell them, because the reason you got bitten is that you ran out of ammo. This would suck royaly. And besides how are we going to gang up? We don't all live in North America. It wouldn't be a party without Zwoti and Shanks, and what what about Cheeba, and Disease?
