I dont, not unless you consider living as a zombie "surviving"
I use my anti-zombie magic that instantly kills them. Cause those zombies require mechanics that are incompatible with reality to work, so I can equally assume any unrealistic thing that could help me.
>so I can equally assume any unrealistic thing that could help me.
just because unicorns exist doesnt mean leprechauns also exist
your anti-zombie magic would not necessarily exist just because zombies do
Neither unicorns or leprechauns exist you fricking moron.
Gnomes, trolls, giants and shapeshifters do, and in that order of population size.
Get it right.
these aren't normal zombies, completely skeletonized corpses can be resurrected and individual limbs cab move on their own with high levels of intelligence. they are basically magic based.
Well there's about 600 people spread out here, maybe 200 in the town proper
So... I'd probably just cross the street when meeting it. The olds here may as well be zombies anyway.
Or set the thing on fire with gasoline+styrofoam napalm and a blowtorch or something.

only correct answer, but you'd better be fast before it spreads.
But how do you know the magic is killing them and not just phase-shifting them?
What will you do when the next time you use Dispel Magic, it leaves you trapped in a horde of hungry chompers?
As zombies have very low initiative, I would obviously employ shadow magic that forces them to do lots of initiative tests. Should the zombie for whatever reason pass them and survive 2d6 s2 hits, I will torch him.
Another way to beat him would be dual wielding hand weapons and drinking an elixier that boosts initiative and attacks, maxing attacks before the zombie can strike back. That usually does the trick when no wizard is around.

That's not how chemicals work. Even if high heat doesn't denature or completely break it down, turning it into a diffuse gas by burning it will reduce the concentration until you're only looking at maybe a single molecule in a cubic meter of air.

In the BTS material for Shaun of the Dead, Simon Pegg is asked what to do if there were a zombie apocalypse in real life
>Ascertain as quickly as possible what sort of zombies they are. If they're Romero zombies, move during daylight towards military or police authorities to stay secure until they're mopped up. If they're 28 Days Later zombies, quietly shelter in place until they die of starvation and exposure. If they're Return of the Living Dead zombies, have a nice day immediately.
This. Return of the Living Dead zombies just fricking suck.
Either way if it's just one, you need to contain it quickly so it can't spread. Dismember, throw pieces into concrete. dip concrete in plastic. Put plastic in metal drums filled with more concrete + plastic. Put those in a metal shipping container. Bring the container to some bumfrick spot in the southwest where it never rains, bury it as deep underground as you can and pour steel reinforced concrete around it. Should get you at least 100 years before something gets to it.
>bury it in one of those ultradeep boreholes that hit the liquid part of the crust >the zombie parts are slowly melted and diffused into the earth itself >(300,000,000 years later) >zombie volcano
best way is to dismember and contain all contaminated materials. napalm and melt them down. Proceed to contain in concrete cube, which will then be space x'd rocket hurl'd directly torwards the sun at earliest launch date possiable, if more then 50 are infected then nuclear arms are required and that side of the planet is literally screwed.
>Solar flare carrying zombie matter hits the earth >half the population infected >nothing electronic works >every brain in the world eaten >zombies have to develop intergalactic travel to find more brains
And then the Trioxin somehow infects the sun. >A infected sun shines it's unclean light on an unsuspecting galaxy. >Somewhere millions of light years away, an advanced civilization loses contact with one of their frontier worlds as an observatory reports the discovery of a new star.
Honestly, I'd read that book.
Incinerate yourself. I don’t think the Trioxin can reanimate a phase change like that. Since you aren’t a zombie yet you won’t spread the Trioxin either
easier said than done, you would have to basically crawl into a crematory furnace. if you just immolate yourself with a can of gasoline or something, you'll probably just turn into a reanimated charred corpse.
They did have some sort of gas to render them inert, so I guess some gigantic gas attack with that gas and then quickly sweeping in and stuffing them into boxes
leave, I guess, they have bullshit plot armor that makes them invincible or a risk of contamination anyway.

The sequels do NOT count.
There is no "anti Zombie gas"
because its a moronic monster movie made for gorehounds back in the 80s and it justifies them using a fog machine on a graveyard because it looks badass
A chemical company created the gas by mistake for the army, it was intended to be a herbicide. Can't really make a gas to counter that, especially something the chemical company had no intention in creating in the first place. Easier for the army to bury it and pretend like it never happened.

I- hey wait
This would only work if the zombie you encountered was the ONLY one. Knowing ROTLD, There's probably a dozen in some broom closet of some military base.
Not Return of the Living Dead zombies. You pretty much have to nuke the place to keep them from spreading, and dismember them to make them unable to get to you
at what point does something count as dead enough to be zombified? What about the bacteria that usually eats and decomposes corpses, can the bacteria itself be zombified as it eats the shit out of the undead?
>the start of the movie with the cadaver coming back to life
the realistic reaction of everyone freaking out and not knowing what the frick to do was hilarious
This is literally the correct answer. One or two guys with 10/22s and a few cans of ammo could wipe out a hoard in an afternoon. .22 is so small it’s easy to carry around thousands of rounds in a single can or bag. I’d definitely find myself of a roof with a folding chair, .22 rifle, and some beer.
Anon this isn't one of your pussy Romero homosexual settings where it's all a social commentary and white men are the true evil, this is a man's zombie setting.
ROTLD zombies are like angry demons. They can plan, they can talk, they can use tools, and the only thing that stops them from attacking is when they have no body parts left to attack with. They can have their head obliterated and still come after you. A Skeleton with no meat on him joined the horde.
>A Skeleton with no meat on him joined the horde.
This is why people don't take it seriously. It's literal voodoo magic BS masquerading as science in a non-magical setting, with the advantages of both and none of the weaknesses. It's like that one kid on the playground nobody wants to play pretend games with, because he's always the one with an "invisible anti-laser/bulletproof shield". When the terms of engagement for a premise are so obtuse, it doesn't make you want to engage with it, so nobody wants to play with that kid.
A skeleton (not tarman, an actual skeleton) was able to join the horde and the average zombie is able to bite clean through a skull. They're only weak when the plot demands for some kind of gag.
Anon a skeleton was able to come back.
Tarman is and always has been based.
The real reason ROTLD zombies are so strong is because they're actually just skeletons wearing a zombie as powered armor.

The skeleton was a dumb mistake. You can claim Trioxin forces the soul back into the body or some bullshit that makes the brain no longer the driver of the body, but making bones move on their own makes it go from metaphysical to outright magic.
>but making bones move on their own makes it go from metaphysical to outright magic
weird place to draw the line. It was magic long before that. Even weakass romero zombies are magic. RotLD zombies, even at their weakest portrayals, are complete hax by the genre standards, which is not a criticism by the way, and astonishing bullshit hax compared with what is conceivably possible irl (which would basically be more extreme and fast-acting versions of rabies that can work on someone who died maybe a few seconds ago)
>Even weakass romero zombies are magic
They implied something sci-fi in the first movie but the second one has no explanation - the closest one is that.. there is no longer space in hell.
Sure, but I can survive longer than a day if I make it out of ground zero. And maybe by the time they get to my hiding spot, the government will figure out a way to contain or eradicate them.
As the other anon said, because of their magic plot armor, they can’t be beaten permanently without magic. So, your best bet is to get on a spaceship and get to a galaxy distant enough that dark energy expansion of the universe will eventually move you beyond earth’s event horizon. There, you’ve escaped forever.
Well you can't burn them
And destroying the brain doesn't work
I guess I get up to like a third story, destroy any stairwells, and hope I can figure out how to farm on the roof
Stupid thread, OP, have a nice day
>They are fast and can run. >They are as strong and intelligent as they were in their previous life, and they can also speak sometimes. >They can form words despite their physical degradation. >Instead of hunting humans for their flesh, they hunt for the humans' brains, stating that only their consumption eases the pain of being dead. >It appears that injuries to their brains do not have any effect and the only way to fully destroy them is to cremate their bodies, although the ensuing smoke spreads the contagious gas. >All zombies in this movie were created due to exposure to the 2-4-5 Trioxin chemical in either gas or liquid form. The bite of a zombie does not spread the contagion unlike most of the other movies in the series.
Wow, the superman of zombies, lemme guess, they can fly, sense you through walls, can create more of the magical poison gas via bile spewing from their mouths, etc etc
Stupid premise.

Wtf is wrong with you? Do you make those "just watched ______ tell me what I thought about it" threads unironically?
all you homosexuals are moronic autists. Literally every other zombie cause is hand waved bullshit, from muh no more room in hell to literally infecting monkeys with violent television, Trioxin is at least a well explained and internally consistent cause.
They're just butthurt that they can't have their usual power fantasy.
This might actually work but your plan is so fiendish that it would surely backfire on you eventually.
>that it would surely backfire on you eventually.
Probably sooner rather than later, considering it requires one of these zombies to show a decent amount of patience.
>violent television
You're moronic, the rage virus was basically contagious ssris combined with Ebola and Rabies, it was supposed to keep you from being angry do the government could impose total control over the population but it did the opposite
Unless I can convince 5 other guys to pin it down and literally tear it apart for secure storage, I'm just going to fly to an island, buy all the supplies I can and wait until the inevitable flight with a zombie in a trench coat arrives before shooting myself in the head and flopping into a bonfire. There's no way I'm coming back, in agonising pain, to desperately hunt for brains.
I reason with him and tell him that I can get him a supply of brains from medical research laboratories. All he has to do is just wait a few days in his barrel so I can get the proper permits in order. As a show of good faith I go out and kill a homeless person and bring him their brain. While he waits in his barrel I coordinate with the morgues, hospitals, funeral homes, and universities in the country to provide him with a supply of brains. People die every day so he will never be out of brains. If he can be a little patient he can receive multiple brains a day to alleviate his pain while work is conducted on finding a cure for his condition.
If he doesn’t agree with me then I get away from there as fast as I can and start raping and pillaging to my heart’s content because the world is fricked so I might as well enjoy it before it’s over.
Hack them up into pieces that can't fight back, and cook them in a barrel of acid until the flesh melts off their bones. They can't do shit if they're goo.
Ok how about tranquilizer darts full of Cf-252? Or better yet, give a bunch of fent zombies and tweakers huge doses of PCP and let them go ham. It's not like you can turn a zombie into a zombie.
>wannabe mad scientist
best case scenario is that you get eaten while in the middle of making one
or you set yourself on fire by accident before ever seeing a zombie
how are they mary sues?
they're very hard to destroy but on the flip-side they can't be created outside of significant trioxin exposure and bites aren't that
if you get bit, you'll get sick but you literally can't get turned without inhaling or being submerged in trioxin
>nor does its spread (dispersal) reduce its potency
it's explicitly shown in the movie that this is the case
have you even seen it
the basement that the gas is initially released in becomes harmless within the day
the contaminated rainfall doesn't turn anyone with minor exposure to it, only burning their skin and they just think it's acid rain
the corpses/people that are resurrected/turned are either directly exposed to the gas from the container and in an enclosed space (again, from which it later seems to disappear) or is submerged in a contaminated medium (the corpses in the ground; trash's corpse falling into the mud caused by the contaminated rain)
it's immune just to radiation and incineration

NTA but I never thought the death of the guys who opened the barrel was due to potency of any specific "zombification" effect, but rather they inhaled a shit ton of toxic gas and were dead from more conventional means from the very beginning.
You've cheapened the word Mary Sue with your supreme homosexualry until it doesn't mean anything anymore.
Horror fiction has always featured curses and ghosts and evils against which there are even fewer defenses than a "nearly unkillable zombie" you gorilla Black person. I'd love to see you watch some decent surrealist or Cosmic Horror films, you'd just sit there with this big mental patient frown the whole time.
What matters is the struggle for survival in the context of the film, not some VS debate video game stat comparison for autists. That's what makes the film entertaining. For another example John Carpenter's Thing would be completely fricking invincible outside of the Arctic, and was nearly invincible even in the extremely specific circumstances that made it vulnerable there, but that's the best horror movie ever made and you're just a moron with bad taste.

There actually isn't a difference, you've just convinced yourself there is because you're a pseud.
Both the trioxin Zombie and a "cosmic entity" or ghost or curse are a supernatural threat, something with abilities that violate your understanding of the way the world works, and are consequently difficult to cope with. The fact is the Trioxin zombie is infinitely MORE grounded and LESS reality breaking than those things, but you b***h and complain because you've been programmed to.
There's very little difference between a Trioxin Zombie and Jason or Myers, except that the slashers exhibit greater supernatural powers while the zombies can propagate themselves.
Trioxin zombies are almost exactly like Deadites from Evil Dead, albeit less theatrical and more consistent in their behavior.
The fact is that Pinhead, Candyman, Freddy, and other surreal, metaphysical monsters are infinitely "less fair" and "more supernatural" than a "corpse being puppeted by an evil cloud".
>Statting is fundamental to the premise.
The point being argued was "movie bad because zombie stats too high"
Not anything about the situation in the thread.
You're mixing up a criticism of a movie with a thread where you fight something from a movie? You're a bigger moron than I thought.
is the sequel worth watching? the ending made it seem like everything was big boy fricked, so the idea of a sequel feels inherently contrived unless they retconned how fricked things were
they all get progressively worse but are still worth watching, all very fun movies
skip the 4th one they made in the 2000s, the rights just got sold off to some shit tier indie studio or something
I did not find the sequel memorable at all, you know it sucks when you hear the two returning guys say "this all feels so familiar"
its like yeah yeah its a redoing but not scary this time.
The entire is not scary, the first one you actually had this feeling of shit hitting the fan and the end of the world drawing near.
sequel is like.. lets do it again but for the kids so we remove all the feeling of hopelessness.
its not a bad movie, but its not memorable at all. I would have preferred a movie that continued the original spread with new people or something in an ever increasingly decaying world. (but I guess that would have cost too much money)
Like the Italian Zombie movies they might as well not even be called sequels at all. At least RotLD2 still has trioxin zombies talking and eating brains.
The sequel is a decent fun and lighter movie, but feels pointless because the first one exist.
The first one is a masterpiece of tone, it manages to have comedic and black comedic moments alongside genuine dread and desperation, and an overall commentary on the inevitability of death.
The second sequel is kind of lame, but no body mentions how neat the special effects are. Faces pulped, and jaws ripped off, and one scene a guy gets blasted in half by a magnum, and walks around in two halves, then gets melted, No Trash pussy, but just make a double feature with the Linnea Quigly workout video and you're fine,
3rd one doesn't have the mass zombie outbreak, but it has some good gore effects and may make you feel really weird about body modification.
I use my superior footwork and raw physical power. It will only try to grab and bite, so a bit of movement followed by walking it onto a big left hook with a follow-up right as it hits the deck and stamp on the side of its head. >slip, slip, bang bang, on the floor
I don't really care what fancy lore they might have on their disease vector, and I'm fairly permissive of 'movie science', but it can't move if it's muscles or neurons aren't connected, and flame sterilization works fundamentally on all organic life by basic chemistry.
You secure different areas, slowly narrowing down where the zombies are, shoot any that move, with your shotgun, and then flame them until they stop moving due to asphyxiation or neurological heat degradation.
Just observe proper hazmat procedure during the process, take it slow and smooth, and don't act dumb.
>movie science
Anon the gas TARGETED a graveyard. It animated MULTIPLE skeletons and a completely non decomposed civil war officer.
It's magic, the government was just desperately pretending otherwise.
A skeleton (not tarman, an actual skeleton) was able to join the horde and the average zombie is able to bite clean through a skull. They're only weak when the plot demands for some kind of gag.
Your autistic brain got filtered by a funny, scarry horror movie with an actual difficult to deal with situation requiring your brain power instead of a comfy anime video game where you can relax because you or anyone else with a brainstem would win effortlessly.

>failing to convince them of the danger in time, drive a thousand kilometers speeding to north to catch a boat in another country to another continent
eh even then you'd be swamped in zombies in like a week, ROTLD zombies don't frick around.
Tie it up real tight, bury it in thick concrete, somehow convince relatively nearby space launch facility to launch it to the moon, bury it deep in the crust, hope the concrete, depth, zero atmo and cold will do the trick of containing it.
Easy to subdue, disposal is troublesome. You could probably make Trioxin harmless using radiation, as you can with various stable toxic chemicals already.
>return of the living dead zombies
worst kind of zombies to fight since only fire and electricity work against them permanently
but burning them causes trioxin to disperse as a gas into the atmosphere, meaning you can't burn if it's going to rain any time soon
it doesn't seem to stick around for too long even in a small room (the basement in the movie) in dangerous quantities meaning it's either volatile or harmless when dispersed so burning during rainless days would be safe
typical /k/ shit is mostly useless against them
could slow them down with leg shots using a high caliber rifle or a shotgun
I live in a rural area around a minor city but near major power lines so first I probably try to locate any of the power line electricians and ask them if they know how to rig high power defensive fences
beyond that, I start brewing up as much napalm and thermite as I can and use a digger/tractor to start making large ditches
radiation doesn't work, they nuke them at the end of the movie and it does nothing but the trioxin to vaporise and rain back down
Nuclear fallout is completely different from controlled radiation chemistry. But if that's no good, throw the sealed remains into the magnetic field of a Magnetar. It's so strong that it warps atoms and disperses the subatomic constituents.
set up a tiger trap with leaves covering a big deep hole
bait him in with juicy brains
fill the hole with concrete
dig out the area around the concrete pillar and fill that with concrete too
coat the concrete with epoxy
just do everything possible to keep that trioxin out of the water table
some other step that would keep him from moving while the concrete is setting would also help
die horribly and become a zombie because I'm in a zombie movie
maybe expanding foam would also be worth a try, or a really thick plastic bag, stuff like that
Epidemiologists run zombie scenarios just like preppers do. And the result is always the same. We'd be fricked. So fricking fricked. Especially with all the deniers and the buttholes hiding infection.
>Epidemiologists run zombie scenarios just like preppers do. And the result is always the same. We'd be fricked.
Remember that one time a guy got rabies from an animal bite and then a week later half the city had rabies too and the only way to stop the infection from spreading was to nuke it? No? That didn't happen? Because biting is a shit way of spreading a disease? Huh. I guess zombies are kind of stupid.
NTA but the Return zombies don't spread much by biting, more as chemical contamination.
Trash was supposed to be just killed, but got hit by the rain while naked, got a big dose, so she was full of Trioxin and not eaten, joining the undead.
Which is something that I didn't realize th first time.
But that goes back to not understanding how chemicals work. The trioxin in the movie doesn't behave like a chemical because diluting it has no effect on how it operates and heating it doesn't break it down. It's not chemical, it's magic.
It's true of every zombie movie that involves reanimated corpses. There have been a few that are basically just super rabies and the "zombies" die out after a few days without water. In a scenario like that you just have to contain the infected and wait them out.

Anonymous
Even those are using zombie magic.
They bullshit things like infection rate, resitances, and most importantly the latency period.
Anon - I was just addressing the biting. Anyway:
True. It's very unlikely that such substance would ALSO have a "breaking" point unfazed by the crematory, and ALSO be active quite diluted, but the movie is consistent enough to show heavy exposure (cloud + immediate rain, naked lady, whiff after the barrel breaks) to maintain a shred of verisimilitude for its genre.
Dumb AF take, rabies isn't communicable human to human like that. Also it's an extremely slow acting infection. I'm not saying that zombies would end the world or something but saying it wouldn't be a problem because rabies isnt is silly
1. ROTLD is way cooler than your romero pussyshit, and the zombies work completely differently
2. Every single war game ever run for fun along the "Romero zombies" angle suggests that we'd kick the ever loving shit out of them instantly.
3. Nogunistanis and Cityoids are not human to begin with, so them all getting eaten is a win condition.
That's not how chemicals work. Even if high heat doesn't denature or completely break it down, turning it into a diffuse gas by burning it will reduce the concentration until you're only looking at maybe a single molecule in a cubic meter of air. It's going to lose whatever effect it had long before then. Unless you want to argue that it's magic, which is like saying nu-uh to every valid solution.
Considering the Trioxin "happens" to float right over a graveyard and does things like instantly bring Civil War infantry back to life without significant decomposition or loss of faculties, and even reanimates an honest to god skeleton, it's pretty obvious that it's just a magical substance that the military has given a scientific sounding name to.
Welp

the nuke DID work...because there was a second movie where the first 2 buttholes got infected all over again...so theres a time warp present...and then theres a 3rd movie and...thennnn the 4th movie.

If you want to go with the idea that the first movie didn't result in a game-over for earth, perhaps there is a maximum range for it's cloud-forming behavior and the military just repeatedly nuked the area until there wasn't a single corpse left.

By having my Skeletons flex on them so hard they are permanently killed by shame at not being the superior kind of undead.
Any Skeleton ROTLD zombies can be pardoned for the crime of being cringe and join the skeleton legion should they wish.
Tarman is and always has been based.
The real reason ROTLD zombies are so strong is because they're actually just skeletons wearing a zombie as powered armor.
I believe our brains are far too complex for them to do anything with. Rabies seems like the only halfway plausible zombie virus. You just need a variant with a more rapid turnover and that makes people belligerently aggressive (or even better, amorous but inclined to love-bite or just amorous and spread by saliva).
You don't. It's a matter of time before they get you no matter what you do if you're foolish enough to even try to survive. If you don't want to end up a zombie yourself the single best route would be to off yourself in such a way that all that'll be left would be ashes leaving nothing to be zombified. Not even bones can remain.
The only way you stop them is nuking them so hard there's basically nothing left. They are the ultimate magical bullshit tier zombie designed specifically to be an actual legitimate serious threat to humanity and thus legitimately scary. The majority of zombie types in fiction would fall like wheat to the scythe against even just a bunch of bumpkins with huntin guns, these guys however would kill EVERYONE.
They can do whatever a human can do, provided they've still got the parts. They're just hyper aggressive and in constant pain, but they can work winches and radios when they focus.
I'd get my mates together and fortify a nearby Atlantikwall fortress
Already comes with: >Solid steel fence >Moat >Concrete walls >Thick metal blast doors >Land for some farming
Honestly, I'd doubt the zombies would be as much of a problem as all the people who'd probably have the same idea.
I just want to remark that this is probably one of the longest running threads I've ever seen on this board and I've been here since 2009.

I'd acquire a protective zombie gf.

I use my anti-zombie magic that instantly kills them. Cause those zombies require mechanics that are incompatible with reality to work, so I can equally assume any unrealistic thing that could help me.
>so I can equally assume any unrealistic thing that could help me.
just because unicorns exist doesnt mean leprechauns also exist
your anti-zombie magic would not necessarily exist just because zombies do
Neither unicorns or leprechauns exist you fricking moron.
Gnomes, trolls, giants and shapeshifters do, and in that order of population size.
Get it right.
tell me how I know you've never gone to the end of a rainbow.
I fricking shoot myself
these aren't normal zombies, completely skeletonized corpses can be resurrected and individual limbs cab move on their own with high levels of intelligence. they are basically magic based.
I hate to break it to you anon, but burning it would be a mistake
only correct answer, but you'd better be fast before it spreads.
Autism speaks.
>so I can equally assume any unrealistic thing that could help me.
It can't because it doesn't exist.
But how do you know the magic is killing them and not just phase-shifting them?
What will you do when the next time you use Dispel Magic, it leaves you trapped in a horde of hungry chompers?

As zombies have very low initiative, I would obviously employ shadow magic that forces them to do lots of initiative tests. Should the zombie for whatever reason pass them and survive 2d6 s2 hits, I will torch him.
Another way to beat him would be dual wielding hand weapons and drinking an elixier that boosts initiative and attacks, maxing attacks before the zombie can strike back. That usually does the trick when no wizard is around.
>>As zombies have very low initiative,
Not ROTLD zombies. One of them even uses a radio to call for more paramedics (so he can eat their brains.)
>I will torch him.
Yeah, lighting these zombies on fire is such a good idea...

Well there's about 600 people spread out here, maybe 200 in the town proper
So... I'd probably just cross the street when meeting it. The olds here may as well be zombies anyway.
Or set the thing on fire with gasoline+styrofoam napalm and a blowtorch or something.
Fight off the horde and be left behind so survivors escape the nuke
trioxin zombies are a nightmare. I don't like imagining fighting them
I steal a riot control apc from the local pd, fill the tank for the turret with homemade napalm and spray the hoard with it, I drive away and shoot them with a flare gun. They're already dead, we both know it.
good job you just spread trioxin everywhere
Only if it rains b***h, it's cool I've got more fire
That's not how chemicals work. Even if high heat doesn't denature or completely break it down, turning it into a diffuse gas by burning it will reduce the concentration until you're only looking at maybe a single molecule in a cubic meter of air. It's going to lose whatever effect it had long before then. Unless you want to argue that it's magic, which is like saying nu-uh to every valid solution.
Is that a blood fan I detect?
In the BTS material for Shaun of the Dead, Simon Pegg is asked what to do if there were a zombie apocalypse in real life
>Ascertain as quickly as possible what sort of zombies they are. If they're Romero zombies, move during daylight towards military or police authorities to stay secure until they're mopped up. If they're 28 Days Later zombies, quietly shelter in place until they die of starvation and exposure. If they're Return of the Living Dead zombies, have a nice day immediately.
The scenario in this movie is basically impossible to survive. Attrition is basically impossible, especially after the nuke dropped.
*incinerate yourself immediately so you can't come back.
This. Return of the Living Dead zombies just fricking suck.
Either way if it's just one, you need to contain it quickly so it can't spread. Dismember, throw pieces into concrete. dip concrete in plastic. Put plastic in metal drums filled with more concrete + plastic. Put those in a metal shipping container. Bring the container to some bumfrick spot in the southwest where it never rains, bury it as deep underground as you can and pour steel reinforced concrete around it. Should get you at least 100 years before something gets to it.

>>(300,000,000 years later)

You idiot, now EARTH is the zombie
best way is to dismember and contain all contaminated materials. napalm and melt them down. Proceed to contain in concrete cube, which will then be space x'd rocket hurl'd directly torwards the sun at earliest launch date possiable, if more then 50 are infected then nuclear arms are required and that side of the planet is literally screwed.

Honestly, I'd read that book.

Well we just got Hellstar Remina origin story right there folks.
That's just SCP-001
>If they're Return of the Living Dead zombies, have a nice day immediately.
lol that won't save you. even corpses in graveyards get reanimated.
Incinerate yourself. I don’t think the Trioxin can reanimate a phase change like that. Since you aren’t a zombie yet you won’t spread the Trioxin either
easier said than done, you would have to basically crawl into a crematory furnace. if you just immolate yourself with a can of gasoline or something, you'll probably just turn into a reanimated charred corpse.
Yeah. I was thinking more of jumping into a vat of molten steel ala Terminator but that might not be easy to accomplish
At least you would be completely braindead and not conscious at that point.
One would hope so, but keep in mind that we have long dead corpses being able to talk and loose hands skittering about with intent.
anything less than total incineration is a dice roll, and if you fail to keep yourself from getting zombified you're going to be in for a lot of pain

Rape trash
is that technically possible, if she's into it?
They did have some sort of gas to render them inert, so I guess some gigantic gas attack with that gas and then quickly sweeping in and stuffing them into boxes
The sequels do NOT count.
There is no "anti Zombie gas"
Why would they create a zombie gas but no anti zombie gas?
because its a moronic monster movie made for gorehounds back in the 80s and it justifies them using a fog machine on a graveyard because it looks badass
A chemical company created the gas by mistake for the army, it was intended to be a herbicide. Can't really make a gas to counter that, especially something the chemical company had no intention in creating in the first place. Easier for the army to bury it and pretend like it never happened.

Polka never dies. Speaking of which the choppers showing up and mowing the sea people down until they all ran back into the sea was pretty cool. But at this point i'm ready for someone to show the wizards a strike team.

I hit the zombie with my car, drag it to a Cremation joint, Explain the situation and use their oven again. Sell the dust to voodoo people for a fortune. Dump the car into the sea to keep it from following me as a zombie truck. From then on i just hope the ocean takes care of it.
>Explain the situation and use their oven again
I- hey wait
This would only work if the zombie you encountered was the ONLY one. Knowing ROTLD, There's probably a dozen in some broom closet of some military base.
I use my dick
A zombie?
I'm pretty sure a 9mm to the dome takes it out.
Not Return of the Living Dead zombies. You pretty much have to nuke the place to keep them from spreading, and dismember them to make them unable to get to you

man I just want to plink zombies from a rooftop all day
Make the rooftop an rv and you're now Dale Horvath.
rv chads keep winning
Like in the Dawn of the dead 2004 movie? The rooftop scenes were weirdly comfy.
This is literally the correct answer. One or two guys with 10/22s and a few cans of ammo could wipe out a hoard in an afternoon. .22 is so small it’s easy to carry around thousands of rounds in a single can or bag. I’d definitely find myself of a roof with a folding chair, .22 rifle, and some beer.
Anon this isn't one of your pussy Romero homosexual settings where it's all a social commentary and white men are the true evil, this is a man's zombie setting.
ROTLD zombies are like angry demons. They can plan, they can talk, they can use tools, and the only thing that stops them from attacking is when they have no body parts left to attack with. They can have their head obliterated and still come after you. A Skeleton with no meat on him joined the horde.
>A Skeleton with no meat on him joined the horde.
This is why people don't take it seriously. It's literal voodoo magic BS masquerading as science in a non-magical setting, with the advantages of both and none of the weaknesses. It's like that one kid on the playground nobody wants to play pretend games with, because he's always the one with an "invisible anti-laser/bulletproof shield". When the terms of engagement for a premise are so obtuse, it doesn't make you want to engage with it, so nobody wants to play with that kid.
The skeleton was a dumb mistake. You can claim Trioxin forces the soul back into the body or some bullshit that makes the brain no longer the driver of the body, but making bones move on their own makes it go from metaphysical to outright magic.
>but making bones move on their own makes it go from metaphysical to outright magic
weird place to draw the line. It was magic long before that. Even weakass romero zombies are magic. RotLD zombies, even at their weakest portrayals, are complete hax by the genre standards, which is not a criticism by the way, and astonishing bullshit hax compared with what is conceivably possible irl (which would basically be more extreme and fast-acting versions of rabies that can work on someone who died maybe a few seconds ago)
>Even weakass romero zombies are magic
They implied something sci-fi in the first movie but the second one has no explanation - the closest one is that.. there is no longer space in hell.
>Return zombie
I am driving out of town as quickly as possible and shacking up somewhere very remote.
>Hiding
If a trioxin zombie shows up, the world is over
Sure, but I can survive longer than a day if I make it out of ground zero. And maybe by the time they get to my hiding spot, the government will figure out a way to contain or eradicate them.
As the other anon said, because of their magic plot armor, they can’t be beaten permanently without magic. So, your best bet is to get on a spaceship and get to a galaxy distant enough that dark energy expansion of the universe will eventually move you beyond earth’s event horizon. There, you’ve escaped forever.
Multiclass to clerics, turn undead, easy peasy.
Just chill for like 2 weeks and the zombies rot away. Easy
Well you can't burn them

>Instead of hunting humans for their flesh, they hunt for the humans' brains, stating that only their consumption eases the pain of being dead.
>It appears that injuries to their brains do not have any effect and the only way to fully destroy them is to cremate their bodies, although the ensuing smoke spreads the contagious gas.
>All zombies in this movie were created due to exposure to the 2-4-5 Trioxin chemical in either gas or liquid form. The bite of a zombie does not spread the contagion unlike most of the other movies in the series.
Wow, the superman of zombies, lemme guess, they can fly, sense you through walls, can create more of the magical poison gas via bile spewing from their mouths, etc etc
Stupid premise.

It does though.

Wtf is wrong with you? Do you make those "just watched ______ tell me what I thought about it" threads unironically?
the paramedics that got their skulls emptied out never returned
all you homosexuals are moronic autists. Literally every other zombie cause is hand waved bullshit, from muh no more room in hell to literally infecting monkeys with violent television, Trioxin is at least a well explained and internally consistent cause.
They're just butthurt that they can't have their usual power fantasy.
>that it would surely backfire on you eventually.
Probably sooner rather than later, considering it requires one of these zombies to show a decent amount of patience.
because they have invincible plot armor the scenario is basically pointless because the answer is "guess I'll die"
>Wah waaaah I can't accept a horror monster that's not easy to kill!
That's not plot armor you homosexual.
>violent television
You're moronic, the rage virus was basically contagious ssris combined with Ebola and Rabies, it was supposed to keep you from being angry do the government could impose total control over the population but it did the opposite
>t. first person to die because he approaches the zombies thinking they are fakes because they defy all earthly logic
None of you watched the movie apparently. Electricity destroys them. Inconvenient sure, but not invincible.
That's the second movie only, moron.
Fire. If my town gets burned down during that's another plus.
Unless I can convince 5 other guys to pin it down and literally tear it apart for secure storage, I'm just going to fly to an island, buy all the supplies I can and wait until the inevitable flight with a zombie in a trench coat arrives before shooting myself in the head and flopping into a bonfire. There's no way I'm coming back, in agonising pain, to desperately hunt for brains.
Leave before the nukes go off.
I reason with him and tell him that I can get him a supply of brains from medical research laboratories. All he has to do is just wait a few days in his barrel so I can get the proper permits in order. As a show of good faith I go out and kill a homeless person and bring him their brain. While he waits in his barrel I coordinate with the morgues, hospitals, funeral homes, and universities in the country to provide him with a supply of brains. People die every day so he will never be out of brains. If he can be a little patient he can receive multiple brains a day to alleviate his pain while work is conducted on finding a cure for his condition.
If he doesn’t agree with me then I get away from there as fast as I can and start raping and pillaging to my heart’s content because the world is fricked so I might as well enjoy it before it’s over.
This might actually work but your plan is so fiendish that it would surely backfire on you eventually.
Hack them up into pieces that can't fight back, and cook them in a barrel of acid until the flesh melts off their bones. They can't do shit if they're goo.

or you set yourself on fire by accident before ever seeing a zombie

How do you expect the chemicals to circulate?
Nerds and Romerogays are filtered so fricking hard by the most based Zombie movie.
Mary Sues are gay and moronic even when they're zombies
how are they mary sues?
they're very hard to destroy but on the flip-side they can't be created outside of significant trioxin exposure and bites aren't that
if you get bit, you'll get sick but you literally can't get turned without inhaling or being submerged in trioxin
Because apparently the chemical cannot be neutralized, nor does its spread (dispersal) reduce its potency
>nor does its spread (dispersal) reduce its potency
it's explicitly shown in the movie that this is the case
have you even seen it
the basement that the gas is initially released in becomes harmless within the day
the contaminated rainfall doesn't turn anyone with minor exposure to it, only burning their skin and they just think it's acid rain
the corpses/people that are resurrected/turned are either directly exposed to the gas from the container and in an enclosed space (again, from which it later seems to disappear) or is submerged in a contaminated medium (the corpses in the ground; trash's corpse falling into the mud caused by the contaminated rain)
it's immune just to radiation and incineration
NTA but I never thought the death of the guys who opened the barrel was due to potency of any specific "zombification" effect, but rather they inhaled a shit ton of toxic gas and were dead from more conventional means from the very beginning.
You've cheapened the word Mary Sue with your supreme homosexualry until it doesn't mean anything anymore.
Horror fiction has always featured curses and ghosts and evils against which there are even fewer defenses than a "nearly unkillable zombie" you gorilla Black person. I'd love to see you watch some decent surrealist or Cosmic Horror films, you'd just sit there with this big mental patient frown the whole time.
What matters is the struggle for survival in the context of the film, not some VS debate video game stat comparison for autists. That's what makes the film entertaining. For another example John Carpenter's Thing would be completely fricking invincible outside of the Arctic, and was nearly invincible even in the extremely specific circumstances that made it vulnerable there, but that's the best horror movie ever made and you're just a moron with bad taste.
Different anon, but there's a big gap between "I can't kill this Cosmic horror entity because it's outside my comprehension", and "I can't kill this decaying diseased humanoid because... well, reasons okay."
>It's not meant to be statted and compared.
This is a thread for theoretical responses to a zombie. Statting is fundamental to the premise.
>there's a big gap between "I can't kill this Cosmic horror entity because it's outside my comprehension", and "I can't kill this decaying diseased humanoid because... well, reasons okay."
>I can't kill a squid because it's supernaturally unkillable
>I can't kill a zombie because it's supernaturally unkillable
There actually isn't a difference, you've just convinced yourself there is because you're a pseud.
Both the trioxin Zombie and a "cosmic entity" or ghost or curse are a supernatural threat, something with abilities that violate your understanding of the way the world works, and are consequently difficult to cope with. The fact is the Trioxin zombie is infinitely MORE grounded and LESS reality breaking than those things, but you b***h and complain because you've been programmed to.
There's very little difference between a Trioxin Zombie and Jason or Myers, except that the slashers exhibit greater supernatural powers while the zombies can propagate themselves.
Trioxin zombies are almost exactly like Deadites from Evil Dead, albeit less theatrical and more consistent in their behavior.
The fact is that Pinhead, Candyman, Freddy, and other surreal, metaphysical monsters are infinitely "less fair" and "more supernatural" than a "corpse being puppeted by an evil cloud".
>Statting is fundamental to the premise.
The point being argued was "movie bad because zombie stats too high"
Not anything about the situation in the thread.
You're mixing up a criticism of a movie with a thread where you fight something from a movie? You're a bigger moron than I thought.
is the sequel worth watching? the ending made it seem like everything was big boy fricked, so the idea of a sequel feels inherently contrived unless they retconned how fricked things were
The sequel is literally a restart/reboot. It even has the original two infectees from the first film in new roles.
they all get progressively worse but are still worth watching, all very fun movies
skip the 4th one they made in the 2000s, the rights just got sold off to some shit tier indie studio or something
I did not find the sequel memorable at all, you know it sucks when you hear the two returning guys say "this all feels so familiar"
its like yeah yeah its a redoing but not scary this time.
The entire is not scary, the first one you actually had this feeling of shit hitting the fan and the end of the world drawing near.
sequel is like.. lets do it again but for the kids so we remove all the feeling of hopelessness.
its not a bad movie, but its not memorable at all. I would have preferred a movie that continued the original spread with new people or something in an ever increasingly decaying world. (but I guess that would have cost too much money)
>is the sequel worth watching?
No.
Like the Italian Zombie movies they might as well not even be called sequels at all. At least RotLD2 still has trioxin zombies talking and eating brains.
>is the sequel worth watching?
first two movies are good I think, third ones kinda meh and then it goes big time downhill
The sequel is a decent fun and lighter movie, but feels pointless because the first one exist.
The first one is a masterpiece of tone, it manages to have comedic and black comedic moments alongside genuine dread and desperation, and an overall commentary on the inevitability of death.
The second sequel is kind of lame, but no body mentions how neat the special effects are. Faces pulped, and jaws ripped off, and one scene a guy gets blasted in half by a magnum, and walks around in two halves, then gets melted, No Trash pussy, but just make a double feature with the Linnea Quigly workout video and you're fine,
3rd one doesn't have the mass zombie outbreak, but it has some good gore effects and may make you feel really weird about body modification.
I use my superior footwork and raw physical power. It will only try to grab and bite, so a bit of movement followed by walking it onto a big left hook with a follow-up right as it hits the deck and stamp on the side of its head.

I don't really care what fancy lore they might have on their disease vector, and I'm fairly permissive of 'movie science', but it can't move if it's muscles or neurons aren't connected, and flame sterilization works fundamentally on all organic life by basic chemistry.
You secure different areas, slowly narrowing down where the zombies are, shoot any that move, with your shotgun, and then flame them until they stop moving due to asphyxiation or neurological heat degradation.
Just observe proper hazmat procedure during the process, take it slow and smooth, and don't act dumb.
Ay bruh, heat sterilization doesn’t work on brain infecting prions.
>movie science
Anon the gas TARGETED a graveyard. It animated MULTIPLE skeletons and a completely non decomposed civil war officer.
It's magic, the government was just desperately pretending otherwise.
Their decaying necro muscles make them weak as twigs. Give them a good kick and they fall over unable to get up
A skeleton (not tarman, an actual skeleton) was able to join the horde and the average zombie is able to bite clean through a skull. They're only weak when the plot demands for some kind of gag.

What's the best way to defend your shores from zombie commandeered ships and planes?
Tie it up real tight, bury it in thick concrete, somehow convince relatively nearby space launch facility to launch it to the moon, bury it deep in the crust, hope the concrete, depth, zero atmo and cold will do the trick of containing it.

Easy to subdue, disposal is troublesome. You could probably make Trioxin harmless using radiation, as you can with various stable toxic chemicals already.
>return of the living dead zombies
worst kind of zombies to fight since only fire and electricity work against them permanently
but burning them causes trioxin to disperse as a gas into the atmosphere, meaning you can't burn if it's going to rain any time soon
it doesn't seem to stick around for too long even in a small room (the basement in the movie) in dangerous quantities meaning it's either volatile or harmless when dispersed so burning during rainless days would be safe
typical /k/ shit is mostly useless against them
could slow them down with leg shots using a high caliber rifle or a shotgun
I live in a rural area around a minor city but near major power lines so first I probably try to locate any of the power line electricians and ask them if they know how to rig high power defensive fences
beyond that, I start brewing up as much napalm and thermite as I can and use a digger/tractor to start making large ditches
radiation doesn't work, they nuke them at the end of the movie and it does nothing but the trioxin to vaporise and rain back down
Nuclear fallout is completely different from controlled radiation chemistry. But if that's no good, throw the sealed remains into the magnetic field of a Magnetar. It's so strong that it warps atoms and disperses the subatomic constituents.
I go to my bunker and die of hunger after few months.
set up a tiger trap with leaves covering a big deep hole
bait him in with juicy brains
fill the hole with concrete
dig out the area around the concrete pillar and fill that with concrete too
coat the concrete with epoxy
just do everything possible to keep that trioxin out of the water table
some other step that would keep him from moving while the concrete is setting would also help
die horribly and become a zombie because I'm in a zombie movie
maybe expanding foam would also be worth a try, or a really thick plastic bag, stuff like that
Close the door, continue fapping, drinking beer and taking naps.

>Epidemiologists run zombie scenarios just like preppers do. And the result is always the same. We'd be fricked.
Remember that one time a guy got rabies from an animal bite and then a week later half the city had rabies too and the only way to stop the infection from spreading was to nuke it? No? That didn't happen? Because biting is a shit way of spreading a disease? Huh. I guess zombies are kind of stupid.
NTA but the Return zombies don't spread much by biting, more as chemical contamination.
Trash was supposed to be just killed, but got hit by the rain while naked, got a big dose, so she was full of Trioxin and not eaten, joining the undead.
Which is something that I didn't realize th first time.
But that goes back to not understanding how chemicals work. The trioxin in the movie doesn't behave like a chemical because diluting it has no effect on how it operates and heating it doesn't break it down. It's not chemical, it's magic.
>It's not chemical, it's magic.
That's true of every single zombie movie.
It's true of every zombie movie that involves reanimated corpses. There have been a few that are basically just super rabies and the "zombies" die out after a few days without water. In a scenario like that you just have to contain the infected and wait them out.
Even those are using zombie magic.
They bullshit things like infection rate, resitances, and most importantly the latency period.
You mean the movie lied?!
Anon - I was just addressing the biting. Anyway:
True. It's very unlikely that such substance would ALSO have a "breaking" point unfazed by the crematory, and ALSO be active quite diluted, but the movie is consistent enough to show heavy exposure (cloud + immediate rain, naked lady, whiff after the barrel breaks) to maintain a shred of verisimilitude for its genre.
Dumb AF take, rabies isn't communicable human to human like that. Also it's an extremely slow acting infection. I'm not saying that zombies would end the world or something but saying it wouldn't be a problem because rabies isnt is silly
1. ROTLD is way cooler than your romero pussyshit, and the zombies work completely differently
2. Every single war game ever run for fun along the "Romero zombies" angle suggests that we'd kick the ever loving shit out of them instantly.
3. Nogunistanis and Cityoids are not human to begin with, so them all getting eaten is a win condition.
Considering the Trioxin "happens" to float right over a graveyard and does things like instantly bring Civil War infantry back to life without significant decomposition or loss of faculties, and even reanimates an honest to god skeleton, it's pretty obvious that it's just a magical substance that the military has given a scientific sounding name to.
If you want to go with the idea that the first movie didn't result in a game-over for earth, perhaps there is a maximum range for it's cloud-forming behavior and the military just repeatedly nuked the area until there wasn't a single corpse left.
It's magic, so is Caleb
steal train with various cars of fuel and vehicles
go to the middle of nowhere and barricade bridge access
hey there fellow brain-haver! I've got a solid plan. Why don't we walk to the local cemetery tonight, with no helmets or weapons and make sure the coast is clear? Total zombie death haha
Welp
In ROTLD
the nuke DID work...because there was a second movie where the first 2 buttholes got infected all over again...so theres a time warp present...and then theres a 3rd movie and...thennnn the 4th movie.
So Nukes worked.
The skeleton at the end appeared to be mere footage of a very real and non fake skele undead.

By having my Skeletons flex on them so hard they are permanently killed by shame at not being the superior kind of undead.
Any Skeleton ROTLD zombies can be pardoned for the crime of being cringe and join the skeleton legion should they wish.
Thanks, mr Skeltal
Tarman is and always has been based.
The real reason ROTLD zombies are so strong is because they're actually just skeletons wearing a zombie as powered armor.
Then we must free our skeleton brothers from their fleshy prisons.

>nobody notices anything unusual
If only we could nuke you poor bastards.
what's the issue with tuscon.
>tuscon
None, Florence is beautiful also Pisa is cool
Tuscon is lovely, Tucson however, is Tucson.
I will just go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint and wait for all this to blow over.
>blow over.
It will at that, to be sure.
I move away from the population center
>Philadelphia
The poor zombies starve

Captcha is JK SAD X, I kid you not.
Are cordyceps zombies realistic?
I believe our brains are far too complex for them to do anything with. Rabies seems like the only halfway plausible zombie virus. You just need a variant with a more rapid turnover and that makes people belligerently aggressive (or even better, amorous but inclined to love-bite or just amorous and spread by saliva).
Rabies zombies would be a really good zombie movie plot
It would, wouldn't it? If only someone would try.
It has been in the l4d universe. Essentially the green flu is a mutated form of rabies that also causes weird mutations.
It's mutated to the point it resembles it in not even the slightest, vaguest, smallest ways.
its the central theme of 28 days later. That is how they survive: by waiting for the ferals to starve to death
Eh.
"More" realistic, I guess.
I wouldn't try to blow it to pieces, I"ll encase it in cement instead.
You don't. It's a matter of time before they get you no matter what you do if you're foolish enough to even try to survive. If you don't want to end up a zombie yourself the single best route would be to off yourself in such a way that all that'll be left would be ashes leaving nothing to be zombified. Not even bones can remain.
The only way you stop them is nuking them so hard there's basically nothing left. They are the ultimate magical bullshit tier zombie designed specifically to be an actual legitimate serious threat to humanity and thus legitimately scary. The majority of zombie types in fiction would fall like wheat to the scythe against even just a bunch of bumpkins with huntin guns, these guys however would kill EVERYONE.
How big of a nuke would it take to destroy bone?
Can these things swim? Maybe holding out on an island would give you a good chance of survival
They can do whatever a human can do, provided they've still got the parts. They're just hyper aggressive and in constant pain, but they can work winches and radios when they focus.
I ask some rh chicken to give them a shit tier job as I have.
I'd get my mates together and fortify a nearby Atlantikwall fortress
Already comes with:
>Solid steel fence
>Moat
>Concrete walls
>Thick metal blast doors
>Land for some farming
Honestly, I'd doubt the zombies would be as much of a problem as all the people who'd probably have the same idea.
Comfy and fortpilled.
>tfw no WWII wizard tower
That fence wont do shit. Have you even seen the movie?
>How do you survive?
I hold them down and frick them, the same way I survive everything.
>A return of the living dead zombie
Just ignore them standing next to the off-ramps with their cardboard signs.
if you pull your dick out and start stroking they usually walk away
>Will be funny for brains
best zombie thread for best zombie movie.
>How do you survive?
become zombie
Kill it.
Simple as
Just electrocute them

Where can I watch this without being forced to make an account or pirating it?
Have ublock origin installed on your browser
Then go to fmovies.to (click whatever link it tells you to go to)
It's often on Tubi, that's a free legal one that needs no account. Just keep checking back, the catalogue rotates monthly.
Why the hell are you opposed to pirating it if you also don’t want to pay for it? Do you just love ads?
What are all these gay posts with little flairs and rainbow text? I've not really noticed them before.
They were made during the April 1st stonks event
I just want to remark that this is probably one of the longest running threads I've ever seen on this board and I've been here since 2009.
Only the greatest zombie flick of all time could muster this
