I know its cliche nowadays but zombies are just kinda cool I mean c'mon the "LIVING DEAD" fuck Pirates, Ninjas, Mr. T and Chuck Norris.
Zombies may not be as tough but they make up for it in sheer numbers. You never see one or two of them, nope its always like a whole fucking towns worth.
The really fucked up thing if there is evidence of people becoming zombies
"Wade Davis, a Canadian ethnobotanist, presented a pharmacological case for zombies in two books, The Serpent and the Rainbow (1985) and Passage of Darkness: The Ethnobiology of the Haitian Zombie (1988). Davis traveled to Haiti in 1982 and, as a result of his investigations, claimed that a living person can be turned into a zombie by two special powders being entered into the blood stream (usually via a wound). The first, coup de poudre (French: 'powder strike'), induced a 'death-like' state because of tetrodotoxin (TTX), its key ingredient. Tetrodotoxin is the same lethal toxin found in the Japanese delicacy fugu, or pufferfish. At near-lethal doses (LD50= 5-8g/kg)[2], it can leave a person in a state of near-death for several days, while the person continues to be conscious. The second powder, composed of dissociatives like datura, put the person in a zombie-like state where they seem to have no will of their own."
All the hype and the Wes Cravin film aside, this actually HAPPENED according to Davis.
You know what other Living Dead creature is awesome yet often overlooked in Pop-culture. GHOULS these fuckers eat Vampires, along with rob graves, murder children, and chow down on dead flesh. And like Zombies there are cases that normal everyday humans get branded as being Ghouls.
Not these two douches
Look at Jeffrey Dahmer and Ed Gein.
Both have been called Ghoulish for two very different reasons. Gein a Grave robber who made furniture, mobiles, dinnerware, and clothing out of the dead. Remember The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Ed is where the idea came from and Dahmer kidnapped, raped, and tried to make ZOMBIES!!! out of people.
On a side note
Jeffrey Dahmer has been in the news a bit lately, seems as 1994's favorite serial killer may actually be a suspected in Adam Walsh's Murder. Adam Walsh was the son of John Walsh the host of America's Most Wanted In 1981 he Adam was Kidnapped from a Sears in Miami they found his head. Dahmer was living in Miami Beach at the time Adam was murdered and two eyewitnesses place him at the shopping mall on the day that Adam was abducted. Dahmer had a thing for little boys and for chopping people heads off...
