What's with all the zombie movies? It has to be a commentary on our society that so many movies are made about mindless automotons walking around in droves. I wonder if anybody has picked up on that. Just to get in on what everybody else is doing, in zombonian fashion, I have my own idea for a zombie movie. It's about a society that has overcome zombie occupation and uses them for their own needs. What it's really about though, is zombie gladiators. It would be sweet to have gladiators that could lose limbs and just keep fighting like nothing had happened. And the winner would be the one that dines on brains. I guess I should find out if zombies even have brains. Insert commentary on society here. The coolest thing about my zombie gladiator movie would be that human convicts would also be pitted against zombie gladiators in a battle to the undeath. Convicts would be promised pardon if they could survive against zombie gladiators, but if they did they would actually be sent to a maximum security prison, because criminals who can defeat zombies in hand to hand combat have no place in our society. There would be zombie rights groups protesting the unfair treatment of zombie gladiators, and at some point the militant wing of a zombie rights group would infiltrate the zombie holding pens and release them. A wave of zombies trained for combat would wreak havoc on their helpless human oppressors. I think it would have to take place in the US, because they're the only ones fool enough to train zombies for combat. In a last ditch effort to stop the army of zombie gladiators, the prisoners from the maximum security prison would be released to fight the zombies. The president himself would promise them a Top Secret Double Pardon if they could bring the zombie gladiators to heel. There would be fighting with nets and staves in every street of every city, but eventually the criminals would beat back the zombies and reclaim their country. In a twist, the criminals would be invited to a gala dinner to celebrate and receive their pardons, but they would all be murdered, because criminals who can defeat an army of zombie gladiators in hand to hand combat really have no place in our society.

Have you ever heard of zombie walks'? Large groups of people gather dressed completely like zombies and walk? drag limbs? across everything in their paths in random towns, we just had one in vic, maybe if you came over once in a while you would know about it, just kidding, i just heard about it yesterday. Apparently everything in said swarms path gets covered in blood and zombie. Facesearch it in groups

John Romero.
If you are anonymously referring to The Suffering for Playstation, I had never heard of it before just now. Romero was at Midway when it was released, though I can't find anywhere that says he worked on it. Beyond that, your reference is cryptic. Do you claim I stole the idea?
I had also never heard of Prison of the Dead before researching just now. I'm not surprised the zombie/prison idea was not brand new though. Isn't pretty much every movie about one or the other?
