If you liked Pride and Prejudice and Zombies you’ll love The Remains of the Day of the Triffids. Thrown together once again after most of England is blinded watching the pier lights go on, Stevens and Miss Kenton fight their way across a darkening island back to Darlington Hall, and establish a cosy community threatened by marauders and giant sting-wielding ambulatory plants. Miss Kenton comes to realise that beneath his reserved exterior, Stevens is every inch a man.

I think just about any book could be spiced up with a zombie or two.

“A wooden stake through the brain, silly”

Doye! And here I’ve been, trying to shoot them in the brain and stab them in the heart at the same time. This will be much easier.

I can’t believe you guys missed the easy one: Zombie Bible. The Zombie Jews spent 40 years in the wilderness not because they were lost, but because they walk so damn slow.

What sort of qualities would a vambie have? You have to shoot it in the head instead of stab it in the heart? I dont get it.

A wooden stake through the brain, silly.

Hmm, after thinking about it for a while (yes, I know …), I’ve come to the conclusion that Vampires and Zombies should be pretty much immune to each other.

Vampires create other vampires by returning blood to the victim, but Zombies have poor (no?) circulation.

Vampires do have circulation (you don’t hear “He didn’t bleed, he must be … a vampire”), but they don’t get viruses (ever hear of a vampire with a cold?), so they won’t be Zombied.

Morbius (pictured) is an exception, since he’s a living vampire (he has circulation and is not supernatural in nature). He probably also has a Greek accent.

I don't think you've linked to it yet, but the Zombie Kids Vs Normal Kids At The Playground artwork that's been zipping around the interwebs is reasonably relevant, and very funny.

What sort of accent would it have? Would it moan “BBBRRRAAIIINNNSS!!” in a Transylvanian accent, or whisper sweet, Victorian nothings into your ear in low guttural belch?

Also better hygiene than the usual zombie, but less picky taste than vampires. Able to play checkers.

“What sort of qualities would a vambie have?”

Drinks blood and eats brains.

“You have to shoot it in the head instead of stab it in the heart?”

Both! At the same time!

I sort of suspect that “Vambie meets Godzilla” already exists; I imagine it as being Japanese, and having roughly the same budget as “Bambi meets Godzilla.”
