Quote

With so much protection, wouldn't one be able to wander among the undead ranks, taunting them at will with no danger of repercussion?

Generation Z, they cleaned up their own mess.

Zombies are apocalyptic in nature. They belong to a class of monster that doesn't just hunt humans, but seeks to obliterate that entire human race.

You can watch 'Dawn of the Dead' and still sleep at night. Try that with 'The Day After'.

Before I'm a zombie nerd, before I'm a science-fiction nerd, I am a history nerd.

Zombies don't run. They don't dance. They don't say, More brains. There is no Thriller Night. Those are stereotypes that are perpetrated by Hollywood, which I think is very irresponsible because it can get you killed.

When I believe in my ability to do something, there is no such word as no.

I actually wrote my first zombie book way before I got the job on 'Saturday Night Live.

Most people don't believe something can happen until it already has. That's not stupidity or weakness, that's just human nature.

Of all the weapons discussed in this book, nothing is more important than your primary firearm. Keep it cleaned, keep it oiled, keep it loaded, keep it close. With a cool head, steady hand, and plenty of ammunition, one human is more than a match for an army of zombies.

...because I'm sure that as soon as things really get back to normal, once our kids or grandkids grow up in a peaceful and comfortable world, they'll probably go right back to being as selfish and narrow-minded and generally shitty to one another as we were.

There's a word for that kind of lie. Hope.

That's the thing about zombies. They don't adapt and they don't think. Literally, you could have a zombie on one side of a chain link fence and you could be on the other side and they could be trying to get to you and six feet down could be an open door and they will not go through that door in the fence. That's why they're so scary.

I don't know if great times make great men, but I know they can kill them.
Max Brooks

They say great times make great men. I don't buy it. I saw a lot of weakness, a lot of filth. People who should have risen to the challenge and either couldn't or wouldn't. Greed, fear, stupidity and hate. I saw it before the war, I see it today. [...] I don't know if great times make great men, but I know they can kill them.

. . . show the other side, the one that gets people out of bed the next morning, makes them scratch and scrape and fight for their lives because someone is telling them that they're going to be okay.

Zombies let us explore notions of the apocalypse - no water, food, medical care, the government imploding - while letting us sleep at night.

I think Americans are at our best when we recover from a crisis. We've suffered some blows that other countries would have never recovered from.

I wanted to serve. It was Desert Storm. I thought, 'I was a rich kid, and America's been good to me.

Zombies will try to scale any surface no matter how unfeasable or even impossible. In all but the easiest situations, these attempts have met with failure. Even in the case of ladders, when simple hand-over-hand coordination is required, only one in four zombies will succeed.
