N.o.t.l.d. original VS new

[last bad move]

i like the original night of the living dead the most because the end mostly i like how one of the main charters dies that way after you think hes ok and going to surive. the new one for some reason he just turns into a zombie(if any one can tell me how that happend i would appericate it) thanx

[avenger00soul]

He died overnight from his gunshot wounds and hence, after death, returned to life as a zombie.

but dont you have to be bitten.

[last bad move]

or is it in the air or something?

Think about all the corpses who just came back to life at the beginning of the film. They weren't bitten. It just happened. The same thing happened to the Ben character. They never really give a 100% definite reason for the zombies.

But, by the time of Return of the Living Dead 1, 2, and 3, Dawn Of The Dead and Day Of The Dead, whatever the contaminant was, it had dissipated enough so that it was left solely in the reanimated corpses, which you had to be bitten or scratched by to become infected...That's why not EVERYONE in those movies automatically became zombies after they died

thanx alot i see what your saying i wish they would make a another night of the living dead movie and explain it better (not talken about r.o.t.l.d.) but at the same time i dont because if they made it know it would not have the same feel and would have some one like hillery duff as the main charter.

Probably b/c I was logged off. Hehe.

[Ritualistic]

I pick original

[predfan]

i thought he was bitten by zombies, it wasnt shown but it was implied

when he was shot, the zombies were already taking over the house, thats why he told the girl to leave...the zombies probably bit him while he was lying there dying......he couldnt exactly fight them off in his wounded state..and by the time the girl came back he was a zombie

He was alone and in the basement though. The rednecks even had to chainsaw through the door to get to him. Therefore no zombies could have got done there while he was dying.

i thought he went to the basement after he became a zombie...i cant imagine him having the strength to go down in the basement when he was human because he was shot badly

No. Go back and watch the movie. I promise he makes it downstairs alive and not zombiefied. He even finds the keys to the gas pumps.

ummmmmm. no.
i have to back up Avenger on this one. Ben was not bitten. He was shot twice and retreated to the basement where he kills the zombified coopers wife. Sits down and listens to the radio and begins to light a cigarette. Its around this time where he finds the gas pump keys.

Ben wasnt bitten at any point in Living Dead 90. Period. Ben died in that basement from his gunshot and was revived for the same reason all the other corpses came back to life.

[last bad move]

but he did kill the little zombie girl.

[last bad move]

i was just saying maby just maby he got bit. but i think avengers right about this one.

ok return of the living dead is a completely different series from romeros works, thus it has a different mythos and different set of zombie rules. personally i feel that this series sucked fucking ass. Zombies that talk? "Send more cops..." WTF is that?

secondly, now please correct me if im wrong but who dies in dawn/ day of the dead that doesnt come back as a zombie who wasnt first shot in the head? to my knowledge it never shows it. im not too sure about dawn, but in day it never once mentions that the dead arent being reanimated, and that only through fluid transfusion that one can become a zombie. Well what about those soldiers you ask? How could those soldiers come back if frankenstine had hacked them up and used them for bub treats. Why didnt frankenstien come back? well my guess is that in the barrage of bullets that took him down, one of them aced his brain.

then again.. maybe im looking too deeply into this
its late.....

Thanks Nightbreed. Glad to see someone understands what I'm saying. I agree with your ROTLD/Dawn/Day theories as well. I wasn't gonna go into that earlier b/c I still hadn't convinced anyone about NOTLD.

The only thing I disagree with you on is the sucking of the ROTLD series. I like those corny-ass talking zombies.:) But that's opinion though, and you can't argue with that.
