    Just watched Night of the Living Dead (original) on YouTube for the first time ever in my life. It's also the first "of the Dead" film I've seen. Now watching the Dawn of the Dead remake.

    Been on a bit of a zombie kick lately. Watched both "28 ..... Later" movies recently, been reading about some of the Romero movies and plan to watch more of them as time goes on.

    After reading a lot about different zombie types and all that, I think I prefer the 28 Days/L4D/Resident Evil type only because it's more feasible, and in turn, more frightening. Not because of their speed, but because of the way they become zombies. A virus is more likely than radiation carried from a satellite from Venus.

    Then I also started to think about why zombies are so popular. Why are zombies such a draw for people? Zombie Survival Plans, books, movies, games, etc. Some people even wish a zombie outbreak would happen so they could put their plans into action and damn they are so much fun to discuss. So let's discuss!
