Well, seeing as everyone now has temporary blogging powers, I might as well try to revive my not-so-successful blog. It died a while ago when my premier membership ran out... But now it's back!

And I'm sure that all of my nonexistent followers will soon be flocking to this page with cries of glee. Yeah, right.

So, since this blog is back from the dead like a zombie, its first post shall be about zombies.

Zombie movies can be disturbing and sickening. The screaming, the terrorizing, the eating of human flesh. But why do we enjoy them so much? Is it because we all have an innate desire to see our loved ones ripped to pieces and devoured?

Deep down, humans are just animals. Animals with slightly more advanced brains, the ability to imagine and create, and opposable thumbs, but still we are animals nonetheless. Watching other members of our species get torn down one by one ignites a primal instinct of survival. The adrenaline starts to rush through your bloodstream, causing your heart to pound and your mind to race. We imagine ourselves in the situation of the movie, fighting for our very lives, like an injured ape running through the jungle from a hungry tiger hot on its trail. This race against the predator scares us to our very bones, yet at the same time it excites us and thrills us.

Zombie movies envelope the viewer in fear, as if they themselves are on the run from undead horrors. This is what makes these movies so frightening, and entertaining at the same time.
