How can zombies possibly rise out of graves

[Z0mb1eSlay3r]

How can zeds possibly rise out of a grave,one how would they get infected,u have to get bit to get infected,2 even if they did how would they break through a steel or wood coffin 6 feet underground!?!?

[SelfDefined]

yeah good thought man. i was thinking the same thing. eventually they probably would get out. but itd take them ages. its weird they all get out at the same time. perhaps the virus went underground and through the soil? who knows..

[ethacron]

ya but doesnt the virus (assuming there is a virus causing it) have infect a LIVING host? wtf would a living person be doing six under? even if somone was buried alive, what are the odds that he gets infected?

Watch Return of the Living Dead. It should answer your question.



Remember to send more paramedics!

[Zombie_215]

I don't think they could get out of their coffins. I went to a funeral where the coffin was placed in a cement sarcophagus and then buried. If a zombie can get past that, it deserves to get out!!! :scare:

[ethacron]

ya cos ROTLD which btw was filmed in my home town, is such a good learning guide...:roll:


"you kids on PCP!?!?!" ahahaha funny movie though

[Faran Brigo]

There's a simple answer, they can't, it's physically impossible and inconsistent and it was made for shock in the movies. It's six feet of dirt pushing against solid wood and they can't even bring down a door if it's boarded.

[ethacron]

:clap:
amen!

A normal uninfected person can not escape. Zed's don't have special powers or anything. They are just normal people, except for the tiny fact that they are living and dead. But, they have the same strength and what not if not a little weaker than if they were alive. So they can't bust out of a coffin.

Well I guess if you cannot kill Return of the Living Dead zombies, then I guess they can come out of the grave. You cant stop a brain junkie from getting thier fix.

I really disliked this about ROTLD, why bother if you can't even kill them.:roll:

As for zeds crawling out of the grave....:puke:hate it. Zombi was stupid for this reason...:think: well there are other reasons why i didn't like it but thats another thread. Voodoo :loon:

:drinking:

[UNDEAD FRED]

It would be real freaky if your leaned up against a gravestone in a cemetery at night, partying with some mates, then you hear the dead beating on thier coffins underneath you.:scare:

Tru dat!!:drinking:When i was younger we used to hangout in a cemetery near my house. It was cool because it was off the beaten path so no one bothered us. :drinking: Of course with all the monster movies I've seen, i did a pretty good job of creeping myself out.:scare:

[Behemoth]

Well in 16th century england, the dead used to get burried with a bell in their coffins, the scary thing is at least ten times a year that bell would start a clanging.:scare:

[Faran Brigo]

Yep, it was relatively common to accidentally bury someone who wasn't dead yet. Those were pre-modern medicine times.

As for the grave rising in Zombi, it was said in the film that those were the grave sites of Spanish Conquistadors over 400 years before. My guess is that they didn't use coffins (since it would seem rather dumb to carry dozens of them on the ship and take up space), and that they didn't place them in their graves as deep as the current 6 feet under standard today. Maybe they just placed them in deep enough to cover the bodies with dirt without the coffin. If the undead person only had about 1 or 2 feet of dirt over him, than maybe it could get out even with the advanced decomposition.

And as for Voodoo; where the hell do you think zombies originated from? Baltimore?!?

[Zev]

So how do you explain Kill Bill Volume 2?

Do you really think that woman was "normal"? She had better martial arts experience than Bruce Lee and Sonny Chiba COMBINED, and her strenghs on the fighting grounds could easily be used to escape the underground.

Advanced decomposition? :lol: We're talking about 400 years in the ground and only a couple feet below the surface, between time and the critters, I'd imagine that there wouldn't be anything left to reanimate. :think: Maybe skeletons? Like in those old Sinbad movies. Though, skeletons don't eat people.....

And as for Voodoo; where the hell do you think zombies originated from? Baltimore?!?

Just a technicality. :lol: Voodoo zombies don't really die, they don't really seek out human flesh to consume. They're not really scary at all.

Personally, out of all the "zombie" movies, comics etc., and of all the various origin's of a zombie outbreak, voodoo is by far my least favorite.

You might have a point, but you should still understand that a normal corpse (that has been placed underground for a few years at the most) that has also been reanimated can easily get out of a burial like I mentioned, compared to those that have ben placed in coffins and placed under tons of dirt and concrete.

And for what you said on Voodoo, you make a bit of sense. That movie The Serpent and the Rainbow was boring as hell! However, you should still understand that if those legends were never told, there might have never been any of the zombie movies we watch today.

Yeah, I'm picking up what your laying down. :) I'm just a fan of "the recently deceased are rising" thing.

:clap: Of course.

But, Zombi is a terrible movie, though I'll give credit to the gore department.:lol:

:shock: WHAT?!?!?! You honestly think that it was a bad movie?!? I agree that the story wasn't exactly an Oscar Winner, but it was still a kick-ass film!


Getting back to the subject, Do you think there would be countries in the world where the zombies can acually get out of their graves? I know the current standards in America make it impossible (6 feet deep with coffins), but maybe underdeveloped countries bury their dead at a lesser deep requirement (and maybe without coffins), which could make it more possible for someone to get out.

I know that in India they toss some of the dead into the Gangis River(spl?). :loon:

You're showing your lack of knowlege, in india the dead are cremated (hindu religion) the funeral pyre is ( depending on location ) on occasion sent afloat on the river ganges, the vikings followed a similar process. The body is consumed by fire along with pyre, i for one see nothing loony about that. I don't mean to sound like a wise guy, but you can cause offence by dissing peoples religion & beliefs.

Your, right, that wasn't my intention. No offence was ment. I was looking at the idea of sending a corpse down stream and it reanimating.

EDIT: Also, I thought that in cases where the family can't afford the funeral services, (wood is expensive) they rap them in cloth and send them into the river without burning.:think:

Radiation. Hahahaha

Not sure, i doubt it however, wood for funerals is handed out by local priests at their temples free of charge. However india is a large country with 4 main religions, so it would probably vary from region to region.

[UNDEAD FRED]

Because the writers, and director said they can, end of arguement:lol:

[Panther7]

no way a zombie can get out of anything but a shallow grave with no coffin

[JakAttak]

the fact that it was a movie probably helped her too

[NickelobLight]

It's all a mass misinformation campaign perpetrated by the shadowy figures that run our society. They show us modern motion pictures with images depicting the dead rising from their graves, in order to feed us lies. I'm not sure to what end they are doing this. When the inevitable zombie uprising happens, every second someone spends looking at the graveyard is a second not getting out of harms way, and to safety.

Perhaps these shadow forces will be the cause of said uprising. They will wait until all hope seems lost, and then swoop in and save the day. I hope they don't wait too long, though.

God I hate shadowy zombie-perpetuating forces. Stupid zombies. :naughty:

[beyerwrestler]

Im gonna move away from the sub-discussion and put in my :2cents:.

I do love zombies but there is no way that anything, can rise from the dead.

What I do think would happen would be like 28 days later with RAGE infected monkies or any other animal escaping into the streets.

Many people would be bitten, then those bitten would start biting, and it keeps on going.

Now I dont want that to happen cause I know Id be screwed if the zeds could sprint.

But this is my logical/dorky side trying to express its thoughts:think:
