I have wondered for a while now, if the Lawson film is an actual short film of a zombie attack, if anyone has any information please tell me i have recntly launhed an investagation online for it but efforts have failed so far. If it is real, has anyone seen it, does anyone know where I can see it?

For those of you that don't know, the "Lawson film" is a shakey soundless film that dipicts 5 people running to a bus starting the engine and making it 2 blocks before crashing into a parcked car, then backing into a building, breaking the rear axel, 2 breack the windshield to escape 1 of them is grabbed and mauled by 7 zombies and the other gets around the cornr of a building never seen again, the zombies appear to be held at bay by the bus and they can neither breack the glass nor tip it. the ape runs out at that point. the bus was supposedly found with its doors caved in and the inside covered in dried blood. I have not yet seen this footage I have only read about it, I believe it is real but I must see it to confirm my opinion.

It's just nonsense.

Maybe, but I have to see it, or see proof that it doesn't exist to be cetain.

I think it's fiction. Agoogle search gave me a few results, but they all suggested the same thing. It was mentioned in the book "The Zombie survival guide", and that book is a work of fiction. I'd love to think a film like that was in existance, but I don't think there is.

I would also love to hear it is real, thought the thought of living in an undead world may be slightly creepy, haha. I still think it may be real, the government may be trying to keep it off the internet.

No, I doubt anyone would take a zombie film too seriously. It's no cause for alarm to the government. Everyone would just put it off as a hoax.

I think there are more people wishing for a true-to-life zombie video to be real than you might think, also, if someone compiled interviews of survivors and if the location was found with pictures and reports of the crime scene, that may be able to turn even the harshest skeptic to our way of thinking.

I deny everything you just said, no one would care besides a few people. Everyone would just be in too much disbelief.

i love to see that...i wonder if this is real or not.

A lot of people would care, this is something that would hit the front page, it would be all over the internet in a matter of minutes, if proof was found nobody would be able to deny that it happened, with all th proof of intrviews and a real crime scene there would be no ability to deny any of it.

People would just put it off as a crazy group or cult of people, who pretend to be zombies. That or a group of sick people. Bottom-line, nobody would believe it.

That's also very true.

Thought I think at least 25% of humanity would take interest and eventualy convince others. Also cultists wouldn't be able to replicate the bite marks of a zombie without actually biting and eating the flesh of another human. and if there were survivors they would know whether it was a cultist or a zombie, there is quite a difference in a human face and the partially decomposed face of a zombie.

I bet some weird people would actually bite someone and eat their flesh. And you have to remember, make-up and other effects can make almost anyhting possible. Maybe the victims are in on it too and tell a false story.

I suppose that is possible, and there are a lot of sikkos that would eat human flesh. But I think the cult would somehow assume responsability, a lot of people like that Like to be recognized as the killer.

I bet it is possible to re-animate the dead, with today's technological advances. Oh yeah and I just realized this, why are we talking about zombies on a cryptozoology discussion forum?

Well, they aren't supernatural or spiritual, they aren't necesarily human, more like a strange sub-human race, so I think this catagory suits zombies quite well, haha.

No, they'd probably fit into the category of paranormal, spiritual, or even natural wonders.

Everything would fit into the paranormal catagory. Zombies have nothing to do with spirits and such, it's only a virus controlling a body for it's own self preservation. Natural wondrs would make some sanse, maybe even a scientific catagory would suit it just as good as this one.

Yes, but zombies are more along the lines of monsters than unexplained animals. And what do you mean by a virus that controls them, I thought it was the power of dark magic or voodoo or something like that???

No, zombies are controled by a virus called solanum, it infects the brain and runs on brain cells destroying them in the process, this is why they feed on brains, to kep the virus going. This also explains why only head shots and other dstructions of the brain kill them, and how their bite makes others into zombies. the virus reanimatea the decesed aftr about 24 hours by creating a compleatly new organ that supports their new life. If you go to the nearest bookstore, and find the book "the zombie survival guide" it provides more information, this book is classified as humor but I think it is too detailed to be intended as a work of fiction, I think it may be a somewhat reliable source of zombie information.

Okay, send me a link to a site for information on this virus. If it isn't credible then I shall scoff at future postings on zombie activity.

I doubt this is the nam of the virus, it is just how the author reffers to it in this book, voodoo zombies ae also mentioned in the book, and there are also there but they a quite different from the virus zombies.

Your facts are getting a little shaky, I doubt this book's credibility.

I didn't say it is confirmed to be fact, I think some of it is fiction, but it has a lot of good ideas when it comes to zombie defense and combat and such things. It is probabaly a fiction book, if it is I wouldn't doubt it, but oh well, nobody can confim zombies existance, this thread ws originally to find someone who knows about the lawson film, and if it actually exists, this isn't a thread to discuss the existance or lack thereof of zombies. Believe what you want, I don't have all the facts, no one does.

Finally, this topic was getting old. It was fun though.

Indeed, it was quite a good debate.

It's all fiction.

Zombies really do scare me! I mean what if they attack! We would have no warning! Do YOU have a zombie survival plan? I do...

Forgive me, but The Zombie Survival Guide is a DEFINITE work of fiction and should IN NO WAY be looked upon as factual, there have been SEVERAL threads upon it and zombies in general in these forums, a quick "search" will tell you all you need to know....hopefully.

I'm just hoping someone will find and post the link to this video. I'm intrigued to see it too!

Is this the film you guys are talking about be WARNED gross stuff Video

Oh come on people zombies dont exist. and even if that film was real wouldent there be zombies roaming the streets, making the news and killing more people to make more zombies.... zombies = hollywood

Just look at the website it's on and you'll know it's a fake. Anyone could re-create that footage.

Wow, this is a funny topic. Anyway, now for some education.


No. Electrical impulses can cause muscle spasms, but no technology can bring back the dead. There have been cases of people who have pronounced clinically dead coming back, but it is not the same thing.


You're getting close. Real zombies exist, just not the kind you guys are talking about. Zombies are part of voodoo; they are people who have had thier souls stolen. Not so much, the living dead. It is part of voodoo. Not reanimated dead bodies.


The Zombie Survival Guide is FICTION!!! It's along the same lines of comedy as those books that tell you how to be a superhero. And solanum is a GENUS OF PLANT!!! And the virus sounds really original just like the bacteria that causes the Force and the bacteria that makes vampires in Trinity Blood and the virus from 28 Days Later. Anyone can make up a virus. It makes for a very good story.

Like I said before, zombies exist just not in the brain-hungry, reanimated form that you guys are talking about. Zombies are a part of the voodoo religion. End of story.

Zombies are too good to be real and you know it.

I really wish they were real though. I'd love a good old zombie apocalypse. That is the absolute best end of the world.

It's crap, and while were at it, anybody notice anything OVERLY unusual about that video? It looked like it was supposed to be taped by heat-sensitive recording equipment, yes? But when the zombies "do their thang" on the poor victim, notice that the fuild coming from the victim isn't hot, it isn't "glowing" like freshly spilled blood would be, which further illustrates how bogus it is.

I can't believe we're still discussing this topic. Wyatt and I already ended it on page 2.

Ah, yes, I can see why nobody else should possibly comment on it....sheeeeesh.

My way of seeing it, it's still on page 2 though, so comments are still welcome!

(Crap, I made it page 3.)

I thought I read somewhere that the video was originally made to promote a video game? Oh well it's still fake IMO

Well I'm trying not to be frank, but I don't want this topic to turn into mindless talk like the strange animal attack story. Some people just log on and type stuff in for no reason. I wasn't necessarily talking about you guys posting stuff.

Oh man, i know i'm bumping it but, jeeze, i'm kinda glad this thread died out quickly haha.
Good for the well spoken members who put it to rest. Just wanted to say thanks for keeping the fiction out of zombie fact hehe.

This film was actually made by the NRA to boost slumping arms sale.

Ok come on if everyone else can lie so can I!!!

In the video that was recently posted ( The name of which has slipped my mind) has to be fake. First of all, if this video was real, wouldn't it be the MOST talked about thing on the news? Would'nt we all be preparing? Also, as has been said before, how did they show up on the infared camera? -snifflezz.

You'd think that, but they've filmed footage of squids theorized to be 50-100 feet long and found non-human primate DNA in northern Ontario, but you don't see that on the news.

You only have to know the basics of pathology and physiology to see that zombies cannot exist. The closest thing would be a pathogen that causes the destruction of certain brain tissues and disrupts the hypothalamus' function, creating an insane rage and insatiable hunger.

Would be very great to actually see this but its more than likely some fake bull

the video was a promo for a game called "STALKER" if i remember right it was supposed to take place in chernobyl,I would really like to see the bus video if it exists...

Romero zombies could be fun but the fast ones would be hard to deal with

I read this book and i thought it said that it is not known why zombies eat human flesh. I also read that there are also voodoo zombies. There is a significant difference beetween solanum zombies and voodoo zombies.
