Zombie-fest

Down the road from me is a small community of Normandy Park.  Once a haven for the rich an still is to a certain extent, it certainly has turned odd across the past two years!

I was driving past Normandy Park when I saw all of these tents and a big sign saying to get your Zombie accessories there ... Zombies?????  A little further down the road and there were signs for parking at the local police training center - for the Zombie-fest!  And, buses running you then down to the town center so you can become part of the Zombie experience.

What the heck!?!?!?!?!?!

I have to admit that as a kid I saw a zombie movie, snorted loudly and walked out!  I just was never into shock or horror films!  I love Godzilla and other silly monster movies as long as they are entertaining.  A quick check on the internet and I note there are more than 400 zombie movies from countries all over the world!  Zombie movies, are not entertaining they are there for shock value or to instill fear.  But, there are obviously people whom are attracted to these films ...

So, people in rich-land want to pretend they are zombies and walk around a parking lot.  They have costume contests and I am sure many more events - I am just clueless what they could be - just as I am clueless at how people with a mind can be drawn to this kind of "stuff".

So, I found it interesting that my little town, where sidewalks are rolled up at 5:00 every evening, was a moving mass of people!  What the heck?  What could all of these people be doing roaming the streets and shops, most of which were closed?  Then I started recognizing some of the faces as I sat at a stop light, crossing the street, residents from Normandy Park!  LOL!  Oh, that was so funny, to think that the silent majority just left town to the hordes of zombies.

I do own a few zombie movies: Shaun of the Dead (so BAD it funny!), World War Z (not too bad) and of course Plan 9 From Outer space (the worse of the worse!).  I rarely watch them, only when I want to chuckle heartily over a bowl of popcorn.

I know I have beat the concept of movies and TV shows which deal in fear to death before, so I will only sum up the conclusion: Satan is the originator of fear, fear can separate you from God, Satan wins.  One of the reasons I do not see most genres of movies and never TV!
