This question has been bothering me for several days now:

We all know that if a corpse comes back to life, it is called an undead. But what if you kill it? Is it then a redead? What is it if it comes back to life after that? An unredead, an undead readead, a dualdead, or what?

Interesting... In most zombie movies, you have to decapitate the zombie or destroy its brain in order to kill it. This would prevent it from coming back again. It would just be dead again.

Ditto vampires. Most methods of killing them make it impossible for them to come back, unless your scriptwriters have no backbones and cave into fan demands. (The series Angel had two destroyed vampires come back, one completely alive, the other as a ghost. What does one call the ghost of a vampire?)

Personally, if I destroyed an undead creature and it came back again, I'd just scream at it, "Are you such an idiot that you don't even know how to stay dead?" :D

It is still undead.

Umm, a 'vampire ghost?'

:confused:

Alive -> Dead -> Undead -> Dead -> [Re]Undead

As for the ghost of a vampire is a ghost vampire, not a vampire ghost, unless it still sucks blood, then... then thats confusing because its ethereal, and the biting and the not having a body....

Enough with the ghosts.

Christmas times is closing in fast, and you know what that means!

MORE ZOMBIES.

Yes, once more the zombies will rise, as the virus that spreads the rising of the dead runs rampant in colder weather. Therefore, you must be careful! You don't want a family of Zombies zurg rushing your house, do you?

Here's some tips to make sure that your family and friends don't become part of the Horde!

1. Zombies feel no pain whatsoever! All Nerves are deminished once the Zombie comes to 'life'. If you have a shooting weapon, aim for the head! By getting an object inside the brain, you'll destroy the only means of the zombie's existance.

2. For those of you that have sharp objects, such as a hatchet or even a Katana, go for decapitational blows! The body will be useless without the head, though be sure to get rid of the head immediately! The brain is inside the head, and as long as it still functions, the zombie can use its teeth to infect you.

3. DO NOT USE FIRE! Their flesh will only continue to burn, which may cause more damage to you and your environment than the zombie. Grenades, if used properly, can be of assistance. So, don't thin your options.

4. If you have no means of weapons, use whatever you have! A High-powered Nail gun with a laser sight (Or the tool you use to straighten picture frames and such works just as well!) can easily give headshots and take down zombies fast. Crowbars, if available, can easily be the best conventional method to take down zombies by stabbing at the eye, which can go into the brain and kill the zombie.

5. If a member of your family is bitten, scratched, etc by a zombie, there is no chance of survival. They will go into a coma and by the next 24 hours, they will become one of the undead. If one of your family members is bitten or scratched, do what you must.

6. Zombies have excellent hearing and smell. They have the ability to hear a Squirrel rustling in bushes from a mile and a half away. Be aware of this when traveling in a zombie-infested area!

7. By all means, if you see a helicopter in the distance, try and get on your roof and get its attention. The elevation will clear you from any threat of zombies.

8. Remember this: Zombies CANNOT use their hands in a civilized manner! This means that they cannot grasp onto things, they cannot drive or handle thing and they cannot move things or climb. Remember this as well.


I hope that these tips will help you stay safe during your Holidays. Though, the chances of a level two outbreak (Such as I am basing these off of) are low. But, do watch the news and try and find murders of people dying by either: 1. Being bitten to death. 2. Shot in the head. Though they may not mean zombies, they are semi-important to listen into.

Thank you, and goodnight.

*cough* yeah....anyways, I voted reundead

What does one call the ghost of a vampire?
A tool.

I have a Saw zawl thing (spelling...no idea) that is for cutting holes in walls. Its a pretty nasty power tool. If I was ever attacked by zpmbies, I'd plug in that baby.

So for a 5 foor radius in all directions from the electrical outlet, there will be a zombie free zone.

*Disclaimer. Zombie free refers to "Living" Zombies. Those Decapitated by me will no longer be considered Zombies.

Better yet, I'd stick a block of C-4 to their faces. I'd like to see them try reanimating when the only thing left of them are a few microscopic particles of flesh.

You don't kill zombies. You destroy them. Any D&D nerd could tell you that.

I'd go with reundead.

Remember though, you don't have to just outrun the blast but the movement of the zombie in your direction which moves the blast distance closer to you. Do you really want to be doing calculus while escpaing from zombies? I think not.

Whe did Christmas Involved Zombies... I mean come on this is like
the time when The simpson played a halloween special in November.

simple way of kill a zombie, Blow his ass with a shotgun.:sniper:

the only chance of a zombie being reanimated is if the necromancer keeping it alive stops doing so and then later he or another necromancer reanimates the corpse. it is still an undead as it should be dead but isn't

Redead are those ugly brown dead dudes from Legend of Zelda.

A vampire ghost, FYI, is called a Hungry Ghost. They are like regular ghosts, but have also can drain the blood from children and start crap bands.
A zombie that is moving is undead/zombie. When it stops moving it is a corpse. The same goes with sharks and Candians.

The answer is easy. What do you get when you zombify a zombie?

I say that it's a Forsaken making their spirit run back to their body because they got ganked by yet another Alliance retard.

Amen!

If I run into a zombie army, here is what I would do:

Get a large water container and a squirt gun

Head to the nearest church

Pilfer their entire supply of holy water

Load squirt gun

Attack zombies

Failing that, call in the air force!

When turning undead, try to do it near a cliff or raging river if at all possible. Making them run away is one thing, but making them turn to dust or soggy flotsam is much more thorough.

You just call them "dead". Anything else whilst you deal with a zombie scenario would be extraneous and a waste of time.

Amen!

Holy water only works on vampires, fool

Actually you should aim for the brain or spinal column and put him down for good.

Welll.. Jesus does qualify for the "zombie" title.. but then easter would be more appropiate.

Ye sully his good name and i'll have ye guts for garters!

Someone had to say it... but doesn't anyone realise that zombies don't actually exist?

It's moaning at us! He's definitely a zombie!

I think 'unundead' is kind of a catchy term for dispatched zombies. Though 'ununundead' is kind of cumbersome. Maybe they should just be called second-time zombies, or secbies for short. Eyup.

Man, I had a dream last night where zombies were like... allergic to Vitamin C. So everyone just took a bunch of vitamins and were safe. That was a pretty odd dream.

Persistent?

This question has been bothering me for several days now:

We all know that if a corpse comes back to life, it is called an undead. But what if you kill it? Is it then a redead? What is it if it comes back to life after that? An unredead, an undead readead, a dualdead, or what?

Moot arguement... when I kill zombies they stay dead :sniper:

salt is supposed to work on zombies......

never understood why

maybe they are all giant quadraped mollusks....

No, they're not mollusks. You're supposed to fill their mouth with salt and sew it shut. A mouthfull of salt somehow reminds a voodoo zombie that it's supposed to be dead.

A zombie will remain in a robot-like state indefinitely, until he tastes either salt or meat(so much for ³The Night of the Living Dead²). Then the zombie becomes aware of their state, immediately returning to the grave.

I read some where that you can get rid of zombies by just using cold steel

Redead are those ugly brown dead dudes from Legend of Zelda.
I am ashamed. I was like the biggest Zelda fan in history for about five years there. I had every game released up to that point formatted for GameCube or Gameboy. Then, in 2004, my GameCube broke, and the 2-D Gameboy versions got to be old after a while. Still, I should have remembered that, even if I don't play the games anymore.

I never understood what those things were doing in Hyrule Castle, though. Were they, like, made by Ganandorf? If so, why would he want to infest his town of residence with zombies?

First of all vampires have no soul because they are undead! They are just like zombies but they are
A: Smarter
B: Don't fear decay
C: Stronger, WAYWAY stronger
D: Faster
E: cooler

Anywho
A dead undead that comes back would, change back into a normal human with a soul, because a zombie is the opposite of all humanity. Thus must change back. and they would be called Unundead.

PS
The zombies in zelda are tormented humans, that were stripped of life, so they are distorted and in pain, so link goes into a form of shock when he looks at them.

Holy water works on ALL undead. Actually, a better idea then grabbing a squirt gun and raiding the font is to get a priest and a fire truck.

Vampires suck at being dead. They're like... so not dead-like. Hell, some incarnations of vampires aren't even dead. What is up with that?

Aha! Somebody else that goes for Unundead!
