Kim Paffenroth Quotes

• Como los zombis no están totalmente muertos, alteran el equilibrio esencial de la naturaleza: aparentemente, ningún animal come zombis, y los zombis no parecen descomponerse, al menos, no hasta el punto de desintegrarse y reintegrarse de nuevo en la tierra, por lo que la cadena alimentaria, o el círculo de la vida, parece terminar o cortocircuitarse con su existencia. Los zombis cumplen las peores potencialidades de los humanos para crear un reino infernal en la tierra de repetición estéril y aburrimiento sin fin.

• Zombies are then a symbol of our own mad urges to destroy ourselves, and a terrifying portent that we might succeed.

• The zombie threat is made worse by the fact that their victims then turn into the creature that attacked them. This too is similar to other monsters (werewolves and vampires) and also similar to the sub-genre of infection/plague films. In the case of zombies, however, this may carry a greater sense of dread and revulsion: vampires and werewolves can be seen as desirable, potent, intelligent, virile creatures whom one might like -- in some way at least -- to become; a mindless ghoul condemned to wander aimlessly across an empty, ruined earth seems much less attractive.
