You must be aware of me!!!!!
May is Zombie Awareness Month.
Many films important to the evolution of the modern zombie are
set
in the month of May, from the original Night of the Living
Dead,
1968, to the well received Dawn of The Dead remake of 2004.
Also, because Spring naturally brings with it a sense of
renewal
and hopefulness, May is the perfect month to emphasize
continued
vigilance in the face of the coming zombie pandemic.
Why Not October?
Despite common misconceptions, zombies - and the threat they
represent - are not connected with the late October pagan
tradition
of Halloween. Witches, ghouls and vampires, all Halloween
staples,
are otherworldly creatures of old, filled with mysticism and
superstition.
Zombies, on the other hand, are biological entities, made
of
flesh and blood, and functioning under the same laws of science
and
reason that all worldly beings must.
