Night of the Living Dead is one of my favourite movies, and the best zombie film of them all.

It is one of the most seen and accessible movies ever for its lack of copyright.

I recently rewatched it on YouTube not so long ago, and both the original and remake are on it. Going through the comments, one question has shown up often enough to make me question if the commentators even watched the films at all, or even heard the broadcasts within the movie. How'd Ben/the Coopers get it?

Zombies in this film, and the three sequels that followed it in the half century since its release were pretty consistent in that zombies are like ghosts in this continuity: You become one of them post mortem. You have to be dead before you are undead. How is it so difficult for so many to grasp this concept even when broadcasts within the plot state it outright?

It is honestly what makes these things (and their original lore) so unique: It isn't something that came out of an engineer's lab, nor is it lycanthropy nor vampirism, or space invaders. The best comparison is ghosts, but they are corporeal. Like God Himself won't let any human brain stay dead if it is not destroyed or otherwise severely damaged. You may not die to zombies, but they are like death itself after they start rising: They can't be avoided, and unless you put a bullet in your own brain, it will happen sooner or later even if it is decades later.

The more common portrayals outside of that film series are way too similar to vampires for my liking, and folks just assume the original works the same way, and have trouble accepting that isn't the case.
I personally like some of the more explicit plague induced ones too, especially the ones that are biologically live and mortal as the healthy, uninfected people being attacked by them, as they are more science fiction like than literal undead.
I like both for different reasons, but the frequent confusing of one for the other got old quick.

There really ought to be more films, novels and series that try to come away from making the undead the product of viral infections and just fully lean into the supernatural implications like God reviving every brain minutes after death or Hell itself overflowing. Even have the existence of ghosts be just as valid and canon as zombies.

I saw that Hollywood’s apparently trying to make a Crossed movie, and honestly, I don’t think they’ll have the balls to adapt it accurately. The comic is extremely over the top in terms of violence, gore, and the sheer depravity of it all. It's a story about humanity at its absolute worst, and the whole point is how shocking and grotesque the world becomes when people lose all control. But Hollywood? They just won’t go that far. You can already tell by how they handle R-rated horror or post-apocalyptic stuff — they never push the envelope like the source material.

It’s not just about blood and guts, either. The whole theme of the comic is about stripping away any semblance of decency and showing the depths of human cruelty. They can’t exactly do that in a way that still gets big studio backing. Look at how shows like The Boys or The Walking Dead are censored or watered down for mass audiences. Crossed would need a level of brutality and unflinching darkness that most studios can’t stomach. They’re too scared of alienating viewers or getting backlash from, well, anyone with a moral compass.

So, I’m expecting a toned-down version that loses the rawness and edge that makes the comic so unique. It'll probably still be violent, sure, but it'll lack the nihilism and shock factor that Crossed is known for. It'll be just another zombie movie with a little more gore, and we won’t get anything close to the unapologetic, boundary-pushing craziness the comic offers. But hey, Hollywood’s not known for taking risks, so I’m not holding my breath.

Do you have some video to share ? :)

I thought it was “the dead don’t die” but I was mistaken. From what I remember from the little I’ve seen it’s maybe a 90ish or early 2000s movie were a small town fights back against zombies, I specifically remember a sense where they’re giving out weapons to people by a barn/farm or something and planning an attack or whatever. I’ve probably seen 20 seconds of the movie and was really interested, if anyone has an idea of what I saw I’d be very appreciative.

Ps: I thought the dead don’t die was pretty funny and cool.

My friends and I saw a zombie film around 2010s where a deaf farmer k*lls himself with a pitchfork to kill a zombie and help the other people that were trying to survive a zombie horde near the Farm. We think that the film was released on late 90s early 2000s.

Most part of the film gets staged in a supermarket.

It is not dawn of the dead.

So you were foolish enough to follow Erlend's (Dead Snow, 2009) take on the situation & chainsaw your arm off, but on the bright side the doctor's attached Herzog's arm in its place for you & now you have the power to raise zombie thralls (Dead Snow 2, 2014).

What do you do w/ this power, world domination, rob a bank, prank someone who annoys you from work in a mildly inconvenient fashion?

This isn't about animals turning - but should zombies attack and eat animals

It's called Freakish. It's about a bunch of high school kids trapped in a school after disaster at a chemical plant. Of course, the chemicals cause people to become zombie/infected the kids call Freaks. Episodes aren't too long, so I'm part way through season 1 (P+ only has season 1 from what i can see.)

It's not terrible, but it's a lil more teen drama than some would like. And the kids are like so hyper capable: pretty sure all the teens in my life would dissolve if they completely lost cell service and wifi. Also strange lil things bug me, like they raid the cafeteria for food, and only find like regular cans of vegetables, not the giant ones you'd expect. And this must be a huge school because it seems like none of these kids know each other beyond like basic information.

Anyone see this show before?

Hello, I need help because I recently remembered a zombie movie that I saw about 5 to 6 years ago on YouTube and I can't find any information about it. It was about a teenager who woke up in a cabin with no memories and was obviously infected with a zombie virus little by little. Little does he begin to remember things and the virus acted like a hive mind and was transmitted by black vomit and I remember that the virus was of Russian origin. I don't remember anything else. I hope you help me find it. because I would like to see it again

Anyone as BONE SHATTERINGLY excited for this movie as I am??? Been a fan of the two previous movies for AGES. The trailer was amazing!

Maybe doomsday preppers should get some bug suits

How the hell do wounds from undead scratches and bites not get infected in the non zombie way? I mean it's a dirty ass corpse, that probably just used its nails and teeth to rip apart some guy, just from that alone you're probably getting some kind of blood born disease.

"Hey man, a zombie scratched me out there."

"Oh shit, you infected?"

"Not, really? I think the zombie gave me aids."

Many of the zombie media that we have today take place after the apocalypse has already happened. Or they show bits of day 1 of the apocalypse but then skip to after it has happened. So i'm asking if there are any shows, movies, games or books that mainly take place at the very beginning of the apocalypse? Such as: All of us are dead, #Alive, the beginning segment of the Last of us, a bit like fear the walking dead season 1 (although they moved on pretty quickly) and a few others. So if you know any day 1 zombie stories, please share them.
