What's in this amazing package (and I'm NOT talking about what's in your underwear)?

I can't read it properly, and I have to be totally prepared... :evil_laug

We have obtained samples of this new virus and plan to learn how it starts the heart and other major organs of the deceased. We intend to use this to increase the quality of life for all." - yeah, right!

That's damn creepy though.

So if you don't wanna be a zombie, avoid haiti and cambodia!

...whats next? The wolfman virus?


PS: my zombie kit would have to include the good ole' Ash standard: A 12-gauge double barrelled, cobalt blue steel, hair-triggered shotgun, also known as the 'boomstick'. And of course, the handy-dandy chainsaw!

I hope you mean the original and not the recent remake. The original is sooooo much better. New one tried too hard.

...Yes, I love the ole' horrors.


Oh and something else for the kit: Strap a lawnmower to your chest and dive in headlong.

DOTD was early 80's/late 70's (can't remember which) and was a proper horror that took the **** a little, bt nothing like the remake. The remake is noticeablly different. If you're a Metallica fan, there are some pics around somewhere of ol' Cliff Burton wearing a DOTD tee-shirt...

PS: Don't confuse 'dawn of the dead' with 'day of the dead'... that's different again. But we're gettting side-tracked from the initial post here... :the_finge
