On the difference between zombie movies and horror movies
Working on updating my images with higher quality and more closeups. Also adding some more links to some of the shirts and updating the horror and zombie categories. Some people ask me why I have separate zombie and horror movie categories, but I really see a huge difference. Horror movies are all about people more or less being helpless and killed without much chance to fight back, until the end when the heroine figures out that Freddy Krueger will die (at least for this episode) if she can trick him into looking at a mirror or something equally lame. The point is people are helpless and often tortured (Saw being the premium example of this). Zombie movies, on the other hand, are desperate fights for survival, but all the people can and usually do fight back, even in the face of overwhelming odds. I much more prefer zombie to horror movies, as I am a fan of the human spirit and drive to survive. Of course, there is fun to be had in a good horror movie, if only to keep a body count.
