Opinion: Zombies would take over the world

This was an opinion given o me by my nerdy friend mini. He lives and breathes zombie films and horror novels. For years he's told us all how he thinks the world will be finished by a Zombie outbreak. Although quite funny to listen to he does have a lot of information to back up his claims which makes listening really fun.

The problem i had when thinking about choosing this was the primary research as it wouldn't exact ally be easy to see or find anything in real life about this but i have decided to look into it anyway as it really is good.

I have liked horror games for a long time and i have always thought about this opinion subject. I wouldn't know where to start with the research so i looked back to my answers i got from my yahoo questionnaire and it appears a lot of people have the same imagination as my own.

What are Zombies?

"Zombie is a term used to denote an animated corpse brought back to life by mystical means such as witchcraft. The term is often figuratively applied to describe a hypnotized person bereft of consciousness and self-awareness, yet ambulant and able to respond to surrounding stimuli. Since the late 19th century, zombies have acquired notable popularity, especially in North American and European folklore.

In modern times, zombies became a popular subject in horror fiction, largely because of the success ofGeorge A. Romero's 1968 film Night of the Living Dead and they have appeared as plot devices in various books, films and in television shows. Zombie fiction is now a sizeable sub-genre of horror, usually describing a breakdown of civilization occurring when most of the population become flesh-eating zombies – a zombie apocalypse. The monsters are usually hungry for human flesh, often specifically brains. Sometimes they are victims of a fictional pandemic illness causing the dead to reanimate or the living to behave this way, but often no cause is given in the story."

A zombie is pretty much the same in both novels and films, however they seem to vary to the above description when looking at newer examples of films. A film in the 80's would show a zombie walking very slowly with its arms stretched out as far as possible demanding brains. As of now zombies tend to be a lot quicker and more realistic. However, i wouldn't ever suggest they could run like 28 days later shows.
