Hey guys and gals,

I need some inspiration on the topic of zombies, and I think the Dark Wind crowd is just the sample audience I need to get some feedback.

What I'm looking for is quite broad and all suggestions are welcome! When you think of zombies, what comes to mind?

Anything is helpful: weapons, settings, escape strategies, military conspiracies, big-titted blondes wandering alone in the dark, blood, guts, getaway vehicles... anything.

Thank you all!

[EDIT]: I'm not looking for movie titles: I'm looking for pop culture icons that you associate to the zombie realm.

Pop culture icons?

Elaborate dance routines.

Easy - I think of a spaced out look, slow amble, blood and guts dripping from the mouth, grooooooans.

I'm looking more specifically for weapon types, cliche locations, typical characters...

There is a great book called The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks.  If you are a fan of the genre, it is a must read.  He also wrote a book called World War Z, which is even better!  The survival guide is written like a "how to" or quasi-military manual, and while tongue-in-cheek, is very informative and well written.

I'm working on a boardgame concept and I'm primarily fishing for theme elements to flesh out the game mechanics.

For locations, Groove, especially the cliche' types, I would go with the "Secret Govenment Reseach Facility" or the standard hospital. Of course, George Romero has solidified the shopping mall as a standard key location as well.

Anything melee, especially bladed or improvised.  Baseball bats, hockey sticks, and pool cues, crow/prybars, hammers and sledges, axes, picks, barbecue forks, 2x4s, lawnmower and edger blades.

Chainsaws, and other gas-powered yard tools, but only if they have an almost empty tank.

Similarly, any and all handguns and small arms, so long as they are almost out of ammo.

Bows and crossbows, again ammo limited.

Motorcycle helmets, kevlar vests, baseball bats. Barricades, barred windows, cosying up with Groove C's sister after he's bitten. Shotguns.

While the movie Zombieland isn't gonna win any awards it was a decent movie that will give you some good examples of how to kill a zombie.

First you have to settle on the basics, ie, what kind of zombies are they?

Reanimated dead or infected living or demon possessed?

Which of course affects the other options:

Fast or slow?

Brain "death" required?

Smart or bestial or automatons?

et cetera
