No matter if they in reality exist or not, zombies are an element of the popular culture. When we say zombie, it generally is about a reanimated corpse, but also zombie could be human being that is controlled by someone else by use of magic. They could bump into in horror and fantasy themed fiction and entertainment, frequently characterized as foolish, abashed, falling to pieces corpses, hungry for human flesh. They may be concerned as a followers of the conception of the vampires.
The current conception of the zombie has its basis in the motion picture of George A. Romero from 1968 – Night of the Living Dead. From then till now, understanding of the modern zombie has being related with the “zombie apocalypse”. It refers to a society collapse, as a result of zombie attack, pictured in many zombies – related media. The most notable zombie – themed television representation probably was Thriller, Michael Jackson’s short film and music video, directed by John Landis that became one of the most famous music videos of all time. Zombies also became a part of the modern literature so the zombie fiction arises as a separate literary subgenre. They take a part in the gaming also, zombie games are one of the most famous video games…
Very appealing thing, related to the zombies, are advises for zombie survival. No one has seen crowd of “undead” walking down the streets, but these guides exist, there is a very large number of books, articles on internet. Maybe the most celebrated book of this character is the book published in 2003, The Zombie Survival Guide, written by American author Max Brooks. In the book he represents “cases” of zombie attacks in history and gives circumstantial patterns for the typical citizen to survive zombie attacks. For the ones that are unwilling to wait to read whole book, here are a few simple rules how to survive zombie meeting.
When the zombies are demolishing your door, you should stay peaceful; they are slow so you can probably get out if you attach to the rules. It’s positive if you have a few essential things with you like ammunition, good flashlight, food and water. Next step is to guard your position, do what you can to blockade every approach, but in any case, stay put and always have an exit scenario. The rules said that it’s not important if the zombie was your best friend or girlfriend; put a slug in their head, because if you don’t do that, they will kill you no matter what. Be quiet waiting for rescue, but start making your long term plans for survival. And other very important thing, don’t get surrounded because you are dead if you do.
