I got a new zombie movie called Children of the Living Dead. It stars Tom Savini and its so funny. Its such a crappy movie its funny. And it has all the stereotypical things you see in horror movies like really dumb ppl who wont leave town and dont pay attention so the zombies bite them. But this is honestly the first zombie movie I've ever seen where a zombie scratches somone and they turn into a zombie themselfs? My friend and I got into a argument over this cause I told him the only way to be turned into a zombie by another zombie was by being bit. Am I right or wrong? I know regular ppl can turn to zombies by something in the air that they breath but once your a zombie you can only turn others into one by biteing them right?
Yes, definitely. I am not the expert in Zombie movies, but that's pretty much the idea, you get transformed into a zombie by breathing special airborne chemical agents, getting bitten by another zombie, or zombies vomit blood all over your mouth that you swallow inadvertently(Honeymoon Zombies). Hope that helped!
I love zombie movies they all revolve around one thing: flesh eating, slow moving corpses that always seem to corner its preys at the right time, to eat them. I love when they keep to the script and show you that there are only certain ways you can yourself become a zombie by being bitten by one, weird bio-chemical plant experience gone bad, or they bleed in your mouth like Scaryhornyfreak said it already. I think that idea of only being scratched by a zombie and you become one yourself, usually happens with werewolves, but then again, in Shawn of the Dead, the mother of the main character became a zombie herself after being scratched by another zombie on her hand. so, I think that Idea is not so unique in zombie movies. ---------- Support your horror!
