An Entertaining Notion

This week I watched multiple Zombie films: "Dead Snow", an amusing Norwegian film about Zombie Nazis and their greed for gold, "Zombieland", a hilarious look at a Zombie-ridden world and those few people who inhabit it, and "Diary of the Dead", a George A. Romero Zombie film about a group of college film students and their professor surviving in a newly Zombified world.

Now, Zombie movies have been out for quite some time. I know about them, and I am quite sure that a good majority of the civilized world knows about them. Why is it, then, that in these movies, Zombies are completely foreign? Seriously, there weren't any Zombie films in these movie-worlds for somebody to think, "Oh... he was dead and is now back up and coming toward me, I should shoot it in the head."

No.

Instead there is at least a good hour or so where they cry out in horror, ask their god what 'creatures' come for them... etcetera. If just one person knew what a Zombie was before the outbreak, then he wouldn't take as long to get over the shock of the Zombie Apocalypse finally occurring.

I know when they come, I'll be ready. Will you?
