There are bad zombies everywhere. There are bad people trying to be good. Then there’s Zombieland, where people are trying to stay alive.

A young man named Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) has a habit of running from what scares him. His buddy, a crude man named Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) fears nothing. Doesn’t matter though; not many people are alive. In a world overcome by the undead, these two guys are you one of a kind pair of evolved survivors. But now, they’re about to look down the barrel of the gun toward the most terrifying prospect of all: each other. (more…)

Love of Zombies Is Human Nature

Our race has achieved much in its brief time on this planet: civil rights, women’s rights, gay marriages; so it is surprising that there is still an overwhelming fear of zombies in the world. Movies have stereotyped the walking dead to be senseless, frenzied monsters bent on nothing more than sucking your sponge out of your head. Sure zombies love a good brain treat every now and then but they also enjoy a good quiche when given the opportunity. But the truth of the matter is zombies make wonderful household pets and are loyal once they recognize who is feeding them regularly.

If you tremble at the mere thought of zombies or at seeing one on television, or even meeting one on the streets, chances are you suffer from Kinemortophobia, or fear of zombies.

It doesn’t matter how you arrived at this fear, although chances are it was one dark event that propagated it, likely when you were a young child. What matters is that you need to conquer this fear of zombies; otherwise you’ll be forever changing channels on television or crossing the street when there’s a chance you’ll have to walk close to a zombie.

So, what can you do to overcome your zombie phobia?

It depends on how serious your case is really. While extreme Kinemortophobia might involve treatment with tools such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, fortunately most cases don’t need this kind of in-depth treatment. At its mildest, you may be able to cure your fear of zombies simply by increasing the amount of times you spend with zombies.

Start off by going online and viewing pictures of a few non-hostile corpses. Domestic zombies abound in millions of homes across the globe and the ratio of wild zombies has dwindled to mere handfuls. Even so, wild zombies can be domesticated. Your computer is the safest environment for conquering your fear of zombies as nothing is able to jump out of the screen and attack you. Viewing images of zombies interacting with humans will help ease you into the next stage.

Once you are comfortable with viewing pictures of zombies, the next stage is to actually walk close to zombies. Which means the next time you see a zombie on a leash – especially a small child zombie – ignore your instinctive reaction to cross the road. Instead, walk past the zombie on the sidewalk and avoid eye contact. The proud zombie owner will likely notice that you’re worried (or you can always say so) and will most likely be courteous enough to keep the zombie on a short leash.

Keep working at this until you have the courage to say hi to a passing zombie. You’ll be pleasantly surprised how quickly you can control your reactions and start befriending zombies rather than being scared of them.

For severe cases of Kinemortophobia many people have found that hypnosis is a quick and easy way to cure their fear of zombies. Because hypnosis penetrates your subconscious at such a deep level, and can thus locate the source of your phobia and disarm it, you will be able to have healthy relationships with zombies in the future.

Your cure for fear of zombies is at hand. Make the right start on your way to appreciating zombies and you will find that love of zombies is human nature!
