How do you think zombies will rise from the grave? What will make them rise?

I arose this morning.

hhmmm.Zombieseh?who says they willrise,maybe they have already risen????

ummm...do u mean, how WOULD they rise?? cuz if yer convinced that they will...u need a lil bit o help...haha

To get a little more serious on the subject at hand. Zombies were not the living dead like so many people imply. I read stories were people would give others drugs and they are "dead" but in reality they were not and would be buried and in the middle of the night these men who drugged them would dig them up and make them into slaves. That is pretty much probably were the myth came from. Or it could have followed the vampire myth with the fear of death and the rising of the dead. Some people in the long distant past put bells in graves so they will know if they were still alive. The fear of death probably created what we see the zombies and vampires.

That's the same thing I was thinking Ghost shark. In the olden' days, people drank alcohol out of lead cups. So they had services for the dead in their homes for 3 days. This was incase the dead weren't really dead and woke up from the coma like drunk stupior.
Also because of the lead cups they would bury people and find out later, when they were in the process of being buried, that they would bang on their casket. Thus bringing the bell that they would put a string all the way down to the casket incase they woke up.
For whom the bell tolls. . .
All kinds of weird stuff like that happened in the olden' days.

Yep... It is amazing that they never truly figured out untill this century. It is kind of amusing don't you think.

Sure, I would defiantly rise if they took my cable away! I would only have basic cable!

On a serious note

Zombies rise by the power of satan or something like that ( not aware of full details ) . This is possible because necromancy causes dead bodies to rise with the demonic powers of the user and then they can manipulate the body at their will
( the necromancer ) In this case the necromancer is a satanist who has given up their soul to the pits of hell . This can also done by a holy man through the power of god , but their is a differance as their are no demons involved , no soul being sold to hell , and the body is completely revived in both mind and soul . Jesus did this to lazerath in the new testament , As for the satanist version of necromancy I am not sure if it is accurate or not ... you will have to ask a satanist .

On a non serious note

Moe is genius

I have myown theory of zombies. usually before a target person is "Killed" or "Dies" They are usually fed some sort of (hate to use the word) potion. INcluded in the ingredients is the poisonus puffer fish adn other herbs that would usually poison a person. well sometimes poisons cancel eachother out. The ingredients mix together and settle in the victim and puts them in a colmatic sleep, sometimes for years on end. Normally they don't have anything, no heartbeat, no breathing nothing, until the mixture that settles spoils away in which it awakes the human body in such an outburst that it puts them in an almost invincible state so they can escape their graves as normal or as mindless as ever depending on the mixture. The victim hardly ages and they are at near full health when they awake. Though the andrenelin that they receive upon awakening can reach heights that would kill the average person. So sorry to all those who think that they are risen by the devil, that could only be if they were in their graves for under two month in which case they raise in a trance and must serve the shaaman that put them in that state in the first place. Hope I got my point across. If you want to talk more please feel free to e-mail me.

Welcome to the forum Dark Star have fun.

Im sure there is already a topic here about this.

Is Moe planning on making some Zombie-esque slaves?

mmm, i'll stick to spilling Loque's special brew on an unfortunates grave and watch them turn evil, evil i say evil! then you will see the dead rise from there graves.

Just out of curiosity, I thought "for whom the bell tolls" refered to the church bell ringing and announcing that a funeral (or death) was taking place.
"Saved by the bell" was the expression used to indicate a person was buried alive.
Not trying to split hairs. Just trying to keep confusion and ambiguity to a minimum so as not to start more rumors.
Thanks

I do have the recipe for that potion, however it was trusted to me to keep to myself, not like I use it or anything. You can probly find it elsewhere though. Like . . . oh I don't know The Internet. lol!

aww c'mon,share it with us,i could think of a few people to use it on.....slaves would be good come to think of it.**Wanders off to get spellbook**

Oh Brother!

Zombies are going to rise either through nuclear reason or cause of hate which im willing to bet will be the real reason on how they will rise..

Personally I use coffee to wake the dead (It's so strong that if you pour it out it'll climb up your legs, grab hold of your neck and strangle you to death)

On a more serious note I think that most zombies areeated by the I-look-like0im-dead-but-im-not way, but it would be possible (perhaps using some form of telekinesis), to raise the more traditional zombies.

Perhaps it is possible that the moon gives them the power to rise up out of there grave with its mind empowering pull...

All the poison thing was use in Voodoo ! That trick is the base of that culture.

"Look at me I'm the great priest. This man is dead (the day before the priest went to have a drink with the dead man) but he will raise again ! But be carefull because he now knows your fault because he see God" !

That was to frigthnend the population of the village !

If I remember rightly, the 'potion' involves tying a certain kind of poisonous snake to a certain type of poisonous frog and putting them in a jar so that they attack each other and produce lots of poison. This is then mixed with a 'voodoo cucumber' (a powerful hallucinogen) and this is then mixed with ash for some reason.
I think its something along these lines.
The trance like state that was mistaken for death would be picked up on by Western doctors.

Some of my favourite reasons for zombies rising are:

Radiation of a crashed spacecraft(NOTLD)

Theres no more room in hell(Dawn)

Chemicals from weed make them come back to life(Zombie Holocaust)

For no reason at all(Zombie Flesh Eaters)

Chemical they spray on weed brings them back to life(Return of the living dead)

Because their magic zombies (Quite a few)

Because they ate some of the Zombie children(Boneyard)

They were bitten by Rat Monkey(Braindead)

In real life I heard a Nazi scientist brought some back and they were sent to attack a small village in Finland(?) but they were killed by farmers.

In real life a Nazi scientist sent zombies to attack a small village in Finland? Did I hear that correctly ?

Isn't that playing a bit fast and loose with the definition of real life, just a tad?

I always imagined if corpses were to rise, some very powerful dark source would be behind it. I mean, like frickin' armageddon type stuff.

As for the voodoun zombies, well, that's what drugs will do to you.
It's the same way with people who drug themselves - they are easily suggestable.

Everybody knows that gas created by the government to destroy marijuania crops is what causes the dead to rise. That, and an animating solution know as Re-agent, created by a certain mad scientist...

any one see the serepent and the rainbow?
intelegent writing good movie

Drugs making zombies? With some people I know it's lack of drugs that make zombies.

One reason for zombies that Undead missed out:

Killer virus (Resident Evil the movie and 28 Days Later)

Nazi scientists making zombies is a common myth, You're right I was a bit loose on the real life.

I found a site on google while searching for "Kasper Hauser" that had an interview with an ex-scientist (Who did give his name, He wasn't an un-named) who claimed that using a bunch of chemicals. They thought it would turn the war.

They were tested by sending a few zombies to a remote village in finland, They attacked cattle and animals. All of the zombies were killed by the villigers. He claimed some were involved in trench warfare too.

I can't find a link though.

I can only seem to find Castle wolfenstien game stuff.

budhist monks are still not touched for 3 days after death because it apparently takes that long for you to truely die fully, so maybe the ones who are disturbed before that time have a right to rise?

as much as i believe in voodoo and the things it can do, i dont think there is a hoodoo on earth with enough ungodly power to ra animate a corpse.

[COLOR=green]Sounds good to me. If ou look through this entire forum the ingredients are spread out. They've hit most of them. Poison from snakes, frogs, the puffer fish, ect. You guys are really good at this.

alot of the ingredeints are very hard to get.sorry.

finger nail clippings from a dead person(before they were dead)
thrice burned hickory ashes(means burn the ashes three times)
a drop of blood (yours)
a drop of spit (yours)
a drop of urine(yours)
now, mix it up in that exact same order, make sure you have all the ingredients, put it in a small container (like a vial), and get it near the person you want to give bad luck to (like burying it in their yard). beware, if the person finds out, the luck reverses itself. burn the bowl or plate you mixed it up in.

now, tell me how it works. because it is real. remember, voodoo is not some cult like the imitators. it is a full fledged religon, an evil one, but still a religion.

When Jesus was rescurrected on the third day after his death, there were many ghost sightings for weeks. The Bible simply says the dead walked the earth, so that may either mean there were ghost sightings or they were actually zombies walking around.
