Zombies!
I have always been very fascinated by zombies and the many stories that have been created about them. To me the actual realism of zombies walking the earth is just mere entertainment. I think that if anything were to happen, people would not just walk around looking for flesh to feed on. I believe that there very well may be a chemical that could leak out and virally infect the world, but I don’t think the reaction would be zombies.
I think that people would become very ill, such as their brains would not function properly and therefore creating mass chaos in the world. In the movie “The Crazies” people just basically lose all human behaviors and begin to act like wild animals. This is what I feel would be a more realistic reaction to a worldwide viral or chemical mishap.
I think that people want to look towards the entertainment industry for relief from the current real world. And by watching horrible zombie movies, people can feel better, even if only for a few hours, about the current issues in their lives. When there is a war going on around them, what could possibly be worse than fearing for your loved ones away at war? Well I know that when I watch movies about zombies, I am so involved in the horrific scenes of people thriving off of other human’s flesh that most of my worries got away.
