This is in reply to ZOMBIEHORROR'S post about George Romero's 4th Dead entry being literary, not film.
It's called "The Death of My Death".
It fills in the gaps during and between the movies, and details the beginning of the end, and how the outside world deals with it during the initial crisis, and how we collapse as a society as time goes by.
I was just curious: if any of you on this board were writing the books instead, what would YOUR vision of the beginning of the end be like?
What, in YOUR minds, would be the first things to go in society before we took the big plunge?
There's always so much MORE you can do with a book that you can't do with a movie.
Use your imagination and think about some of the things that might happen in a situation like this.
Imagine walking into your local grocery store and seeing the people behind the deli being eaten by their one-time customers?
(My bologna has a first name....)
Just a little food for-thought, and a change of pace for me as I'm actually doing something besides digging up old movies!
I'm just curious as to how creative some of you could get, just for the heck of it.
See ya' soon, boys and ghouls!

Sounds like a plan.
But remember, ya' gotta' have food and water, and remember that you can kill a ghoul in other ways too:
A sharp blow to the skull, or by burning them.
I interviewed a famous police chief out in Cumberland County, PA during a search and destroy operation against the ghouls, and asked him how dangerous these things were:
He told me, "Yeah, they're dead, they're ALL messed up".
A few minutes later, one of the chief's deputies accidentally shot someone who was ALIVE inside an old abandoned house, and we were forced to rethink our strategies...........
Harry Cooper was right; the cellar WAS the safest place.
See ya' soon,
Shawn

Heya!
Sounds like some kind of bizarre mating ritual.
Kind of like holding the L1 and R2 buttons on a gamepad and holding the left or right directionals on the D-Pad.
And thus was born the "circle strafe" technique, good for mowing down everything in your sight in Quake 1-3, as well as Unreal and Half-Life.
See ya' soon,
Shawn

WHOA!
That really sounds lie a survival plan!
The last time I heard of something like that was, well, NEVER!
I laughed so hard when I read this that I started wheezing, and still feel some aftershocks!
For your quick wit and brilliant survival tips, I reward you with a a verse from the sappiest regions of my brain.
A 1 and A 2, and... OHHHHHHHH......
"I Wish I was an Oscar Mayer Weener, That Is What I Truly Want To BE-E-E,
Cause' If I Was An Oscar Mayer Weener, All The Ghouls Would Make A Meal Of Me........."
You're cool, dude. That's the funniest thing I've heard to date.
Peace,
Shawn Howlett
