Zombies!



What is the attraction? Possibly because the very concept of a Zombie gives your mind license to range freely. Wandering around in the (virtual) woods this morning I stumbled over "Zombies are the New Vampires" which led to "I Was a Regency Zombie", which contained this wonderful bit:
In fact, “Pride and Prejudice” may already be a zombie novel, contends Brad Pasanek, a specialist in 18th-century literature at the University of Virginia.
“The characters other than the protagonist are so often surrounded by people who aren’t fully human, like machines that keep repeating the same things over and over again,” Professor Pasanek said. “All those characters shuffling in and out of scenes, always frustrating the protagonists. It’s a crowded but eerie landscape. What’s wrong with those people? They don’t dance well but move in jerky fits. Oh, they are headed this way!”
"Zombies are the New Vampires" finished up with a video of "The Zombies" playing "She's Not There". A quick look on the net turned up this one, which is one of my favorite tunes. The video is .... I'm not sure what it is. And who are those two guys in sport coats? And why do we care?
