When you consider all the things that are being made either on Foreign soil or on our very own soil. Do you think its possible to consider this could happen?

Reanimated corpses?

Maybe... with enough parasites. If they then spread through the mouth, we would get a lot of biting... I kinda doubt it, but maybe.



Well think about it, if they bite on someone's skin. The parasites could possibly spread into the blood stream of the bitten victim.

Which suggests that there aren't any available in the cities so occupied.



Well, no wonder they have to spread out so far. Those poor Zombies o.0
 
A zombie in the movies if you think about it is just a virus that hijacks a corpse to use as a way to enter the world we live in instead of the micro world that the virus lives in. If it is possible then we are bound to find the way then be stupid enough to unleash it on the world either due to the work of evil people or just very stupid people. May this never become possible.
 
Well... yes. and no.



Historically zombies may have been used in places like Haiti to work the cane fields. But instead of reanimated corpses, they were unlucky individuals who had been enslaved by a 'zombie master' with powerful drugs and then used for menial labor.



The idea of the walking dead probably arose when somebody saw old Uncle Hifie raking the trash pit at the mill when the family had been told that he'd been lost at sea off a fishing boat.

Reminds me of the Resident Evil franchise XD



Anyway, moving swiftly on! In theory we could make a virus that causes zombie like behaviour. But for re-animated corpses? Nah...
