Original Message Todays topic: Zombies!

There is a long history in both legend and pure fiction of the risen dead coming to life and needing to feed on the living to survive. Indeed, there is a strong correlation between the modern concept of the Zombie and the Classical Vampire. For the purposes of this thread, however, the assumption will be that Vampires drink blood and do not eat human flesh.

So, what do we know about real Zombies?

Well, it has been confirmed that drugs have been used in modern times to approximate this “Living dead” state. This is not inherently a true “Living Dead” Zombie of course, but rather a modified living person. Still, who knows what can truly qualify as death? Certainly, the historical criteria of no discernible heart beat or breath can be achieved by many drugs!

This link takes you to a youtube clip about Zombie drugs being used in modern times.

It is an interesting look at the forced use of drugs to create a Zombie like state...

Modern Americans will likely be able to understand the implications of such things if wide spread deployment was ever to be achieved!

But Drugs... Well, that does not make a “REAL ZOMBIE” does it? No, of course not. Zombies eat flesh and their state can spread, right?

In recent times there has been a resurgence of Zombie lore, spread by the author of “The Zombie Survival Guide” Max Brooks. Link to Wikipedia about that book:

While listed as humor, the book is written in a way that takes itself very seriously. Max Brooks has never claimed openly that it is anything but a real survival guide. It is thought to be humor mainly because his father is the famous comic actor and movie maker Mel Brooks.

A small sub-genre of fiction has grown up using this material. Again, there is little tongue in cheek about much of these works, and the assumption that it is fictional is left to the reader.

Here is one such work:

It goes into the “historical” Zombie Attack at Hierakonpolis. It is written in a clear and concise, almost technical fashion, with just enough absurdity to keep the reader guessing as to it's true intent.

But that is still fiction, you may cry out. Where are the “REAL” Zombies!

O.K. Here you go!

This first report is the written account of a man that claims to have seen a real Zombie.

It is a fairly short, and anonymous piece. While on a Zombie “joke” site, the intent of this piece seems eerily legitimate.

And finally, this is video that is said to be of actual Zombies attacking a person.

It is in a foreign language and seems to be taken from helicopter.

Only 45 seconds long, it is not bloody but appears to be done in some sort of night vision.

There is a wealth of real Zombie information out there in the world with the expansion of the world wide web. It seems as time passes that the validity of at least “Zombie Similar” events is beyond doubt.

Please help us find more Zombie related information for this first Official Halloween Report thread.

Tomorrows thread will be on Vampires, so please hold related material to that until then!

Thank you all.

Be aware, Stay alive!
