Zombie Apocalypse

Improved Essays
Cannibalism is one of the greatest sins but is a key to understanding how a zombie operates internally. Therefore, when the dead return, they become a living nightmare. Death has been our ultimate fear as cultures are taught that if we don’t honor the dead, they will return to seek revenge. Zombies are everything that we are most frightened of engraved in our pop culture. One thing remains their unscrupulous appetite for human flesh and endless means to obtain it. Rests assure that the living dead will be on top of the food chain when the plague arrives. They are tormented evil creatures escaping a life imprisonment from the grave. There will be millions of zombies that will walk the earth during the outbreak. Many argue that there will not …show more content…
According to the Holy Bible scriptures, “And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast, Come and see. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.” Many religious followers agree that the world will end as described in Revelations from a global pandemic. The words Zombie Apocalypse nestled together bring imagines of a catastrophic nightmare of humans v’s the undead. Nevertheless, we have all at one time or another heard this phrase mentioned in zombie movies, but is there any actual truth to their existence. Since their creation the forthcoming of a zombie apocalypse has been predicted for decades. All public services will be rendered unless within a matter of hours once the madness begins. For years Hollywood has profited from our fears of a pandemic. Hundreds of movies have foretold of a plague infecting the entire globe. One conspiracy theory is that our military may be responsible through an experimental super virus to combat biochemical

    The documentary ‘Zombie: Haiti’s Longstanding Tradition’ (Zombie: Haiti’s Longstanding Tradition, 2005) contained information regarding the original Haitian version of Zombies and how they are created. Some other things also featured in this film include how “zombie powder” is made, how people are brought back from the brink of death, and how people are forced to become these “zombies” so that people may use them as slaves. The idea of zombies has been a part of our world since the 8th century. In fact, the word zombie has been derived from zonbi, which was “used in the Louisiana Creole or the Haitian Creole that represents a person who died and was then brought to life without speech or free will,” (Ahmadmad, 2013).…

    The Zombie Apocalypse is an event I feel I've been prepped for my entire life. Assuming typical scary movie rules apply: in order to survive I must find a rag tag group of people who are sane as well as very skill at using weapons. To help prevent being that that cliché person that trips, my team and I would raid a shoe store for well fitting, non slip shoes. Next we would wear various layers of coats just in case if we were caught, zombies would struggle to get to our flesh and we would have time escape from their grasp. Next we would travel north and go to a region that was not very populated prior to the apocalypse.…

    They add that this concept stretches back to the colonial era, representing colonial imports. This instance is yet another point in time when zombies are used as an explanation or concept to an event in time. The predating of the evidence also supports that this is people interjecting zombies into the subject, not the popularity being influenced by the event. In…

    The concept of zombie did not arrive into the North American populace till the late 1920s (Christie 2011, p. 10). It is from there that the concept of zombie underwent a considerable amount of evolution. The original need to serve was replaced with an insatiable instinct to feed off living flesh (Christie 2011, p. 7). In addition, its concept of its creation was replaced by events such as biological and chemical calamities. Whereby, hordes of zombies are created through bites, scratches or contact with contaminated bodily fluids.…

    According to Klosterman, “Zombies are a commodity that has advanced slowly and without major evolution, much like the staggering creatures George Romero popularized in the 1968 film “Night of the Living Dead.”” (Klosterman). In this allusion, Klosterman connects the trend of zombies to zombies featured in “Night of the Living Dead”. Society is fast-paced and ever-changing, which makes it strange how zombies have hardly changed at all, yet have continued to rise in popularity, their image everywhere in society. Throughout the rest of the essay, Klosterman discusses what exactly makes these brain-eaters so…

    A zombie is “a person or reanimated corpse that has been turned into a creature capable of movement but not of rational thought, which feeds on human flesh.” (Oxford) In the event of a zombie outbreak or apocalypse it would be quite difficult for a person to survive, even for a very short period of time. A person would need to take a large number of variables into consideration in order to survive. He or she would need to have a fair amount of equipment, food, shelter, weaponry, and various bits of knowledge if they wanted to live.…

    Rotting, undead creatures walking the earth with only one primal thought and purpose, to eat and kill the living—this is a typical depiction of zombies and their behavior. The kind of zombie who strikes fear in the hearts of the living because the zombies threaten their very existence, way of life, and everything they’ve ever known. But what if there was more to the undead than meets the eye? Imagine zombies that could think and speak and act upon desires other than eating the flesh of the living. The human spirit is not easily killed and because of this resilience, a zombie’s innermost desires and tendencies can remain intact, allowing it to defy typical zombie behavior.…

    Cannibalism in general reflects one’s lack of humanity as willingly eating another human being equates the human into only being food and nothing else. The victim’s experiences, hopes, and dreams mean nothing anymore, their new purpose being something to fill the stomach of a savage. Stranded with no food in a mountain blizzard, some people in real life were forced to commit cannibalism to survive, but they “felt guilty about consuming their...comrades… [and] were not keen on eating flesh” (Cochran 25). This intense guilt and self-awareness of the atrocities they’re committing are completely lost to the cannibals in The Road.…

    Where did our twenty-first century incarnations of the zombie come from, and how did they develop as time elapsed? James Parker’s “Our Zombies, Ourselves” discusses several of the past and present zombies, their stereotypical designs, and how different medias portray society’s definition of a zombie. One of the first subjects Parker covers is that of society’s preconception of the undead. We, and apparently everyone else dating back to the early 1900s, imagine the zombie as abysmally lethargic, with greyed skin, mutilated limbs, and an unending desire to consume living flesh. Parker regales the reader with a tale of the zombie’s evolution through poetry, books, movies, television, and even songs.…

    Could you ever imagine waking up one day and everything was different? Not being able to be sprawled out in your perfectly good bed each morning, but waking up in various locations for protection. Having to carry some sort of weapon every time you go outside just in case you run into a pack of zombies looking for fresh flesh. This all seemed too much and it was only my first year at Missouri State. A zombie apocalypse was not something I expected from college, especially to be one of the few survivors’ left on campus.…
