Zombie-philia

I love zombies. They are one of the most awesome things that have ever been conceived. I can envision a chainsaw ripping one to pieces right now [yummy]. And I am definately NOT the only person who feel s that way. Most every one I know and the thousands of people who make zombie movies and games possible also love zombies. But let's have a little look at why that might be.

So why would people be in love of the idea of zombies?? Firstly; fear. People love having that rush of sheer terror run through them in these sorts of horror situtations. But that can't be the only reason. There are plenty of horror genres out there, many of which far more realistic than zombies. So there has to be more.

Next comes something I have touched upon already. Violence. I am in no way convinced that there is a single human being who doesn't have the drive to destroy and slaughter; it's just how we are. And a horde of mindless, bloodthirsty zombies gives everyone free reign to main as we please. We like that. [Or at the very least, I LOVE it.]

But something I think most people don't realise about their love for zombies is how they like the idea of simplicity. Imagine it; a zombie apocalypse, you and a few other survivors trying to....survive. All that would matter is getting food, fighting of zombies, getting food, fighting of zombies. Of course it would certainly not be so easy or good [in fact I imagine it would be terrible], but a lot of people want their lives to be less complicated.

There's not really a lot to say to that either. Who doesn't want a more stright forward life??
