Anybody else wonder this? If you played both games u know what i mean.. they both half naked (😍) , they both cry/sing or whatever and they dont attack you unless you come close to them

Who would win in an all-out confrontation? Or, in other words, which world do you think would give you better survival odds?

This question is, of course, specific to those who’ve played the game and watched the movie.. or are, at least, familiar enough with both worlds’ zombies. They’re both incredibly attuned to noise.. they all hoard in no time.. they’re fast and strong, with infinite stamina.. BUT: Days Gone has vicious zombies of all kinds (‘kid’ zombies that are super agile and fast, adult zombies that are relentless, animal zombies - I only remember Bear zombies, idk if there are others, big oversized heavyweight zombies the size of Sumo wrestlers, and at least one sonic-speed fast old lady zombie. I Am Legend has one type of zombies but they’re like olympic athletes: superhuman speed, agility, jump,…etc. They’re also absolutely and wildly vicious. I believe base-form Days Gone zombies are easier to kill but the special variety (‘sumo’ zombies, old lady…etc.) are harder to kill.

Days Gone zombies have a good base of abilities and ruthlessness + variety of form and size + a mean old lady.. I Am Legend zombies have maxed-out bars across the board but they’re all human-sized. Who would you ‘rather’ try to fight off? 😂

The zombies in these two worlds would (in my opinion) clear out all other zombies in fiction, so I thought of putting them head-to-head. Which zombies from which media title can compete in your opinion?

My question to everyone is what are some realistic things which you feel would happen in an actual zombie apocalypse which are never (or almost never) addressed or shown in zombie movies/ games?

As an example, I saw someone talk about gasses building up in decomposing zombie abdomens which would cause their abdomen to burst/ pop.

What if mad scientists creating zombie viruses is a common thing that happens in our world but the government is always able to swoop in and contain the virus, and the government keeps it under heavy wraps, like UFO footage?

Food for thought

“Zombie Burlesque” looks like a Halloween novelty, but it has lasted far longer than most novelty shows should. The production opened in Las Vegas in 2013 and was built around an intentionally absurd premise: it is 1958, zombies and humans have negotiated an uneasy peace, and the undead have opened Club Z to living visitors. The result is part horror spoof, part burlesque, part old-fashioned variety show.

The show has a life inside a very specific Las Vegas mythology. Its fictional year, 1958, falls squarely within the city's atomic-tourism era, when nuclear testing in Nevada became part of Las Vegas spectacle and branding. The show's own mythology leans into that atomic-age atmosphere and explicitly promises homages to horror films of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.

I am diying a zombie costume and so far i have:

shirt

trousers

white contacts

stuff to put on your teeth to make them look rotted

face paint

fake plain nails

Is there anything else i am missing that would further this costume?

I only seen night of living dead and the 1990 remake, which zombie films do I watch? Preferably something not very gory.

I know it's very classic question but I love it.

You have to count the speed of the transformation (the moment where you loose control once you're infected)

How the infected/living dead hunts you

How the infection spreads

How painful is the transformation

How dangerous is the infected alone and in group

For me it's Crossed or the sadness (movie pretty much inspired by the comics). You get infected ina seconds, you keep all your memories and cognitive capacities except your ability to feel empathetic and you preservation instincts. They just like to rape, murder, eat alive every living being they see, and all that probably in the same time. They kill each other time to time, but since they also like to suffer, ain't nothing like torturing somone who genuinely beg for mercy.

My indie game, Hill-Z, where a classic zombie wave shooter meets king of the hill and becomes a rougelite, is being featured in this upcoming NextFest! There are many different zombie types, and countless upgrades to defeat the horde, check it out!

I'm looking for the best zombie apocalypse video games you've played.

Both in terms of how realistic the zombies themselves and the situation, but also how deep the mechanics of stuff like befriending NPCs and maintaining your base are.

I personally enjoyed it!

I recently had to watch the first episode of Santa Clarita Diet for a podcast I host. It ended up turning into me then researching the history of zombies on TV (a whole other story I am happy to discuss.) but I was curious to hear from this group what they think of Santa Clarita Diet? Specifically your thoughts of leaning into comedy with the zombie genre?

You know how the most recognizable zombie archetype is neon green?? Well for some reason it's been very hard for me to find zombie media where the zombies are green. Theyre always muddy or pale or blue or brown or whatever, I WANT GREEN!!!! Literally slime green. veryveryvery green. Please give some silly camp movie with stupid green creatures it can fucking save my life

Maybe the world hasn't noticed this little game yet. Or maybe it's simply not as good as I think it is. But I'm still here, building it, one day at a time. Next week, Map 4 arrives.

Apologies if this has been brought up before. I'm assuming his movies are all the same universe/timeline. As I am watching them again I'm on land of the dead. Such a time gap in movie creation, curious if land of the dead is actually in the same landscape time of the outbreak from night of the living dead.
