Is Your House Zombie-Proof?

Crowbars/blades are better than guns because they're quieter and don't need reloading. That's why you have to get out of the movie genre DrPhil, if you're going to survive!

I like 28 Days Later too, but I do make an infected vs. zombies distinction generally. Mostly because if we have fast zombies, I'm screwed.

I shall definitely heed your advice. I hope you know that you are fueling a zombie "obsession."

I have seen crowbars and blades used on some movies over the years. But, I've grown accustomed to crowbars and blades depicted as taking longer and therefore guns being best.

LOL. I agree with the infected vs. just-dead-and-now-alive distinction. They are technically all considered zombies.

And technically the just-dead-and-now-alive are often now-alive because of some infection...or chemical warfare...or something. They just got the slow end of the deal.

It took a long time for me to realize they were 2 different movies. Is that one scary? It's not the zombies that get me but the really quiet moments then BAM a loud noise. That's why I was no good all through I Am Legend.

Come on over to the dark side, christiangirl!

I Am Legend was good (even the Will Smith version was decent, in my opinion) but I actually don't consider that a zombie movie. That could be my own bias.

They were running their ass off. LOL. It was a break from the slow ass zombies that walk so darn slow that you wonder how people keep getting killed. Without zombie training, I guess I'd be terrified enough that a group of slow zombies could totally kick my ass. LOL.

And what about the zombie movies where the zombies are relatively smart? That's also scary.

LOL.
