Zombies

Marnie zombie?

Night of the Living Dead zombie girl.

What is it with Zombies? Ok, so I happen to believe this particular version of Armageddon will be the one, but why am I not the only one to be particularly fascinated with these blood-hungry dead people? It seems like I should be the only one drawn to the horror of postmortem cannibalism.

It began with George Romero's Night of the Living Dead, well, I guess it did for most. For me, it's the way the terror begins, the young couple unknowingly driving to meet their end. Then of course subsequent popular films continued prepping us for the infection - Resident Evil (Mila is hot!), 28 Days Later, and there's many more, everything from Redneck zombie's to Astro-zombies.

Exploration of possible past and future outbreaks of zombies is found is a variety of forums. For example, there is a page on Archaeology.org website: http://www.archaeology.org/online/interviews/zombies/
Now, I work at an archaeological repository, and everything we say is true, so how could I possibly ignore the archaeological record of zombie outbreaks?

So what is it about Zombies? They don't feel any pain and unrelentlessly pursue their desired object to no end.
