Whats your Favorite type of Zombie movie?

Totally agree on that point. I do love the way the cities and towns appear in the aftermath. I too frequent abandoned buildings and the like because it does give you that eerie feeling of what it would be like to be wondering around the ghost towns after a zombie apocolypse. Rubble, discarded belongings, trash, emptiness...The world would indeed be such a different place. And too true Billy Ray! That is an ideal city for some serious zombie apocolypse filming. What he said exactly. Aftermath, all the way

There's a few of us explorers on these forums. We should start posting pics/experiences in the Gen Discussion!

There's a few of us explorers on these forums. We should start posting pics/experiences in the Gen Discussion! Yeah, I've seen a few people mention it before. I hope you guys do post some pics and discussion, as I'm always interested in the abandoned and the weird nooks & crannies of the world.

That is a fantastic idea! We could even talk to Neil about maybe having a thread or a forum purely dedicated to these types of photographs maybe? I'm not sure if enough people are interested in that, but maybe something to it? We can surely atleast post some pics on this thread to share. Sounds pretty interesting to see some diffrent locations around the globe where folks on here may travel and see how the different shots of abandoned buildings, deserted streets, etc. turn out. I travel entirely too much and I'm now thinking I may have a totally new hobby brewing up in this. Not just exploring, but exploring every new town I go to and spending the weekends finding these types of sites and taking some awesome photos? Might be fun. -- -------- Post added at 01:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:13 PM ---------- Oh dang! Sorry Mike, I now see that you mentioned posting these in Gen Discussion. Didn't mean to step on yours toes.

How exactly are they surviving in land? by somehow magically clearing out and fencing off and entire city? by building a super tank and keeping it stocked up and fueled up years after an outbreak?.. maybe its becuase we only ever see about 30 zombies out in the wilderness.. Do not get me started my friend lol do not get me started.. Oh, I am soooo gonna get you started! Prepare for lift-off! I have some pretty serious plausibility issues with Land, but ultimately I think the setup is possible. If Kaufman and cronies secured a small section of the city very early on and weathered the initial outbreak then they could've reasonably expanded slowly and methodically to encompass what we saw. Once they had an area secured and a means of attaining supplies it was just a matter of time before the surrounding area is sparse with zombies. After 3 years of driving in and out and destroying whatever zombies wandered too close to the fences... yeah... I can see it being pretty barren. I can also see their fuel supply holding out for 3 years since it was clear that the general populace wasn't getting any of it. This is really exactly what people have contended that the Dawn crew should've done around the mall, albeit with significantly less time and manpower, so why is it so hard to imagine it was successful at Fiddler's Green? Or maybe they were just pretending to survive. Isn't that what we're doing? Pretending to survive?

Besides, you never know who might be inspired to actually shoot in your location pictured, if it can be gotten to by them or they live near. Or if they wanna hang out and just get baked in the same spot...

There's a few of us explorers on these forums. We should start posting pics/experiences in the Gen Discussion! We had a small thread on the subject a few years back. I remember really enjoying looking at all the pics and videos posted. I remember you posted a video of a propane tank with some sort of fungus that freaked me out. Found it - http://forum.homepageofthedead.com/s...ban+spelunking

Youve seen the start of day, the atlanta scenes in TWD.. you know how many zombies there would be in a city, kaufman would need a fucking army! and keep his men stocked up, your seriously telling me they found enough supplies, enough food, fuel, ammo, medical supplies, recreational supplies to keep moral up and to keep them going and fighting off not hundreds, not even thousands but hundreds of thousands maybe a million zombies and forage for all this? to sustain enough people to fight off hundreds of thousands of zombies, raiders, to forage for supplies and to build defenses? he would have needed thousands of people from the start and your telling me none of his them once thought.. fuck this, we're off to the country side where theres less danger.. the mad max wannabe figured it out 3 years down the line when the city was fully operational! On the matter of fuel, keeping something the size and assumed weight of dead reckoning fueled up? that thing must get about half a mile to the gallon on a good day.. your telling me with no new suplies coming in, they have managed to keep this monstrosity fueled for years? do they have a fucking oil rig in the river behind the city too? You will never convince me there is anything remotely redeemable about land, its a ridiculously badly written plot, has unbelievable stupid characters, a far fetched setup, to say zombies are supposed to outnumber humans by 500,000 to 1 in day, then see land which is set after day where humans once again outnumber zombies by about 100 to 1.. there is absolutly nothing at all to like about that movie, i would rather sit through a marathon of night 30th anniversary, cannibal confederates and return of the living dead 4. i can see something in those movies, even the slightest smallest glimpse of something.. but land has absolutly nothing.. to me, its the single movie that signaled the downfall of a legend, its the beginning of romeros senile era and above all else, its trashy nonsense B movie that should never have seen the light of day.

*hugs Andy* But at least there's skateboarding in it.

My favorite? The type where people get bitten/eaten, and heads get shot. ... Alright, I go with Outbreak. UNLESS IT'S A SEQUEL. If it's original, and you jump right in at Aftermath, people might not know what's going on. Starting at the start is good for newbies.

How are they supposed to section off even a small section of the city? Youve seen the start of day, the atlanta scenes in TWD.. you know how many zombies there would be in a city, kaufman would need a fucking army! Yeah, I still think it's plausible. We saw 4 people in Dawn secure an overrun mall and protect it for months during the outbreak. Kaufman had it easy by comparison. We know from Slack that the city had never fallen, which means that Kaufman established his secure area before the zombies got control. All he had to do was establish borders and protect them. And we know he had an army... we saw both military and private security forces. Given his ruthless nature, and the lack of conscience of those who worked for him, it's entirely possible that he maintained his safe zone by ordering the troops to shoot on sight anyone who approached, living or dead, right from the start. On the matter of fuel, ... your telling me with no new suplies coming in, they have managed to keep this monstrosity fueled for years? They had a couple dozen vehicles which were not even used daily. Any regional fuel depot would have enough on hand to satisfy that need for years. You will never convince me there is anything remotely redeemable about land I agree with that. Not that there isn't anything redeemable about Land. I agree that you will never be convinced of it. I still dislike Land. It's a really bad movie. And I agree that it should never have been made in its current form. But it's not all bad. I think that as a portrayal of the aftermath Land's got lots of good things going for it. I love the atmosphere. I love how the abandoned areas outside the city are portrayed. I love how the zombies are depicted (prior to their epiphany of course). I liked the setup as it relates to the scavengers and the city setup. I still think the first 15 minutes of Land stand up against any of the other Dead movies.
