Zombies

June222 — Mon, 07 Sep 2015 23:46:32 GMT

I just do do not understand the popularity of Zombies.....all the movies, TV shows....I just have no interest in looking at a suppose dead, rotting bloody human being that wants to kill. It seems so dark, in this world already full of dark ugly things.

What at is your take on Zombies?

I LOVE zombies. Walking Dead is my favorite show, and I've just started watching Fear the Walking Dead too. Yes, they are dark, but they are also great fun.

I like the tv show izombie and The Last Ship ( no zombies but there is a plague). World War Z was a good movie.

I have no interest in watching Dancing with the Stars, the Bachelor, Survivor, Glee or Big Bang Theory. To each their own. I'll stick with Grimm, Supernatural, Sleepy Hollow, Homeland, The Americans, Tyrant and The Originals.

I am completely hooked on those types of shows. The walking dead is my favorite show. I have even started watching Fear the walking dead.

I have watched all of the Resident Evil shows, If its's a zombie movie I have probably seen it.

I also love The Strain. Read all three books first, not exactly zombies but close enough. I just love those types of shows.

I am not interested in zombies either. As far as it being a dark subject, I think some of the shows with realisitic modern day violence are darker than zombie/horror shows.

Zombieland and 28 Days Later are favorite movies of mine, as well as I Am Legend.

I also like the spoof /comedy Shaun Of The Dead.

I was really into Walking Dead for awhile, but I've kind of let that go. But I definitely see the attraction to these types of movies.

Yes, I think that for me, anyway, the fact that zombies aren't real, that it's just a fantasy, is the thing. Real life stories of violence and atrocities are the ones that I can't handle.

I don't find such nonsense as entertaining. Nor the ghouls who were the early black and white film zombies. Guess folks have some canibalistic inklings about them.

Just so that we are clear. If we like Zombie movies then we have canibalistic tendencies?

Okie dokie.

I couldn't agree more!! That kind of entertainment is very disturbing and sick!! I feel it is contributing to the breakdown of decent entertainment and it just insults the intelligence of most sane people!! It is one thing to see it in a Halloween movie but I don't understand why it is necessary in a tv commercial as I have been seeing lately!!

Not as disturbing and sick as some reality shows....ummmmm..for instance--the Duggar family........

LOL. Time for the Morality Police to expound on how the country is going Somewhere in a Handbasket because intelligent people with imaginations enjoy sci-fi, fantasy and horror.

It's not real, people - unlike the news and reality shows, both of which are far darker and sicker than most fantasy.

I read that zombies are sort of an everyman monster. Anhone can be a zombie,no special skills needed.That's why they replaced vampires in popularity. Vampires were seen as too asristocratic..

ITA. The real life stuff is far more disturbing.

I feel bad now, I love ZOMBIES, but,I also love ROSES. What am I? The nights I sleep without some kind of nightmare, I have watched a HORROR movie,read a HORROR book and slept like a baby. Always have loved scary stories from a very young age and I am just old, not anything else. Juast sayin'. tedEbear

ITA and it beats the ca-rap out of Duggars, Kardashians, Braxtons, Duck Whatever, etc.

I have enough reality in my life, I will take fantasy and sci-fi on TV

@Citrine1

I love Vampire movies as well. We both better watch ourselves though. it's a slippery slope to damnation.
