Pop Culture League Challenge: Zombies

PopCultureLeague-Logo-MediumLast week, the League had some great responses with some monstrous articles, so let’s keep with the Halloween theme this week (and maybe for the rest of the month!). This week’s challenge to the Pop Culture League is…


Zombies

The dead have arisen!


The League is always open to new members! Got a blog? Write a post in response to the weekly challenge, and you’ll be included. It’s that easy!

Once you put up a post on your site add a comment below with the URL. Try to incorporate at least three of your fellow League members’ links (but more would be great!) into the article you wrote, or you can also link to them on social media.

By cross-posting like this, we will help each other out by sending new readers to each other’s sites. Have fun!

(Wondering what the heck this is all about? We’re recruiting for this loose-knit, rag tag crew! Here are the details for contributing to The League.)

    Finally joining in on a challenge myself. I am a friend of Alexis’s Universe and she had been trying to get me to do one for awhile now, so here it is!!! Done in VIDEO FORM. I also linked three of the previous people that posted to pay it forward. Loved reading all of these and seeing our differences!! Until next challenge!!

      Nice inaugural league, post and hope to see more by you. I liked the comparison between the resurrected dead and the unquiet dead

    Bear with me as I ponder the zombie paradigm in entertainment and merchandising:

      Made me think, I have been considering zombies from a man vs. nature standpoint, but bringing it to man vs. self with zombies as the backdrop was fascinating.

        Agreed. It seems like zombies are the least of the problem in a lot of cases, especially in shows like the Walking Dead.

      Cool post. Yes, even with McFarlane’s Walking Dead figures, there are fewer and fewer zombie figures and more and more human characters.

      Thanks for the kind comments. I do think the zombie genre spotlighting man vs. self, as opposed to man vs. nature, allows for a more flexible plot lines. I think that is why there are so many zombie movies with such varied takes, from straight horror to comedy, from apocalyptic to sci-fi. Perhaps because of how diverse the genre is, that has an adverse effect on merchandising (WWE zombie figures are kind of a stretch there). While we may be at Peak Zombies in terms of entertainment, zombie fatigue doesn’t seem to have set in yet. So we are likely to see more zombie movies in the future. (I admit that I have not seen Pride and Prejudice + Zombies. I heard there’s a Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies, too. Just can’t keep up!)
