Be sure to purchase some ammo to bring with you to any zombie-themed events... never know when you might need it.

What I find somewhat ironic about the success of the "Zombie Pub Crawl" type events is when there are enough "zombies" the people participating have actually turned themselves into the problem the zombie movie is trying to criticize - groupthink and mindless materialism/moralism.

It's cool when it's a handful of friends or maybe twenty people. But when hundreds or thousands of people put on make-up and costumes so they all match when they go out, it loses the edge of social commentary and becomes the case-in-point.

 

I think you're reading too much in to it. While I'm sure there are some movies that use ZOmbies as social commentary, I think most of the time people are interested in them the same way they are interested in aliens. Just a nifty what-if kind of situation. It's like dressing up as lord of the rings characters. We aren't supporting holy wars or evil demons, we're just looking for a little fantasy fun.

 

The social commentary was a thing of the times when Romero made the original films. The genre has evolved past that point and if anything, relates to possibility of global contagions that are very real and can decimate the world as we know it.

 

Okay, need something more 'useful' to do with zombies? Try www.runforyourlives.com . Looks like a flag-football-style obstacle course.

 

That is AWESOME!!! Great idea, hopefully nobody brings any blunt objects with them!

 

Me and my friends were planning on holding up at a Gander Mountain by us.. If the Zombie Apocalypse were to ever happen.

 

just saw the season premiere of walking dead on the AMC website.. dont watch TV much but ill be trying to catch new episodes of TWD.

 

It is an excellent show. Glad that it can get a person like you who doesn't watch TV interested!

 

I have a few plans in mind. Being in Cali, the island of Catalina is just off shore so in the event of Z Day happening, the goal is to make it to that island. Clear out any zombies and live off the land and what it provides.
