The Great Zombie Essay

Okay, vampires, werewolves, and zombies are cool. Now who's the best? For me, it's zombies and let me say why.

First, they're everywhere! Comics, books, video games, and movies. You know, I read a comic where marvel superheroes were turning into zombies! Just imagine a cannibalistic spider-man(Shudder now, like seriously). For a better piece of literature about zombies, listen to this. I recently read a classic about love, and a strange plague that makes the dead rise. Now I'm not trying to give a book report, but hard evidence, and it's a dish best served cold. Take a look at video games, I mean it is a serious contribution to zombie mania. It started with the resident evil series. You're one person with a weapon, shooting flesh eating zombies. Simple? Hardly, it has a long plot, and shooting the zombies is harder because it's difficult to move and shoot. It's time for the base. The big kahona. the thing that made zombies known. It's movies that I'm talking about. Night of the Living Dead, the first zombie movie ever. Black & white, seemingly low-budget, but still a revolutionary movie. A chain of movies followed after that one. Most of them are about flesh eating zombies. One or two are comedy, like Shaun of the Dead. You know, with the right stuff, zombies can fit into any genre, even romance.

Are you still thinking that vampires or werewolves are cool? Get with civilization, man. Vampires are too emotional now. It's all about Edward, Edward marry me, and Edward take me away. What happened to their bloodsucking dignity? So now, vampires don't die in sunlight, but instead sparkle like undead superstars. You can't kill vampires with stakes anymore,no, you have to rip off their limbs and throw them in the fire. Can you believe they now have special abilities? I can read you're mind aaaaaooooooaahhhh(that was sound effects). Vampires are only supposed to be able to fly, be extra strong, and suck blood. Shouldn't vampires sleep during the day? let's turn our heads toward werewolves, the other white meat. A thing of the past, I think. The only thing keeping them in the competition is the New Moon movie. They turn into wolves during the day(riddle me that Batman), and turn into wolves when they get angry. Are they like the new Hulk, or is the sun the new full moon? Now it's in the genes!? What happened to the ravenous werewolves that once they got ahold of you they would rip you to shreds, and if you did survive you would become one. What happened to their dignity?

Zombies, unlike the other two moronic sellouts, are sticking to the rules. They come in hordes, eat flesh, and are a walking virus/plague. You can always count on zombies to give you a scare, with their undead, vicious, flesh eating selves. I mean seriously, you kill one, and five more replace it. Think about how they eat flesh(okay don't, because you'll have nightmares for weeks). That is overkill times ten!

Do you still believe vampires, or werewolves are sweet, even with my hard evidence? Open your eyes and ebrace the zombie generation!
