I think, when you're figuring out how the people *become* zombies, it might be helpful to think about underlying meanings.. I've always thought that zombie films were a commentary on mass-consumerism. The zombies have lost their minds and their individuality and simply want to consume more and more (usually brains).. and it's contagious.. just like in real life, where we are encouraged by society to consume things constantly. The good guys in a zombie film are the few people who aren't sucked in by consumerism.. the only people in society who can still think.<br /><br />Or.. maybe zombies stand for.. social difference? Some films treat the zombies as a misunderstood minority, and then the story becomes a metaphor for talking about racism, or homophobia or whatever. The zombies aren't mindless, they're just different, and people are afraid of difference so they make conflict.<br /><br />guess i'm meaning that once you figure out what being a zombie *means*, you can figure out the most *appropriate* way for people to *become* zombies in your story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
