Contemporary films include the Resident Evil trilogy, 28 Days Later and its sequel, and I Am Legend, which grossed over 500 million dollars.
George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Return of the Living Dead, just to name a few, set the stage for the modern zombie – who had become so familiar that Michael Jackson’s 1984 “Thriller” video was shown on MTV, safe for the entire family to watch.
Zombie films have been popular since the 1930s and have only grown in popularity since the 1960s. Zombies embody many of our worst fears: death, a loss of free will, a reversion to our animal nature, incurable sickness, and the apocalyptic end of the world. While these early zombies were typically two-dimensional, mindless drones, modern zombies have become aggressive, bloodthirsty, mindless drones bent on human destruction. Historically, zombies were seen as either beings brought back from the dead to be controlled by a master, in order to avenge some wrong, or to haunt the living. Zombies are found in the Epic of Gilgamesh and One Thousand and One Nights. Myths and stories about zombies, or the living dead, can be found in nearly every culture around the world. However, the song actually addresses multiple interesting social and cultural issues. At first, and even second, listen, the song sounds like pop-punk light-hearted fun. “Zombies Ate My Neighbors” by Single File is the chronicle of a zombie attack, set to music. It’s not like she had one there to start, I’ll be taking hers with a long dart now, I’ll put the lyrics and my analysis behind a cut so it doesn’t take up too much room: I decided to take a pop culture approach to this assignment. My song is called Zombies Ate My Neighbors and it is by Single File. Sorry for the delay in getting this up! I was having issues pulling up umw blogs.
