THE DEAD TIMES
DEAD ARE COMING...
Zombie Uprising

DESCRIPTION:
This picture is pretty off-beat to grace the virtual walls of our fetid website of undead horror - I usually try to have a specific theme or premise behind the image; a Zombie horde or the Zombified version of a well-known, fictional character, whether ripped from the ranks of horror or just made that way following conversion to a Zombie. This image, however, is none of those; it's just something that struck me as cool, in the moment. It's what the image conjures in my mind more than what it actually shows, being quite bland, lacking detail and composed of muted colours; greens, blacks and so on. This abstract nature can be quite striking - to the right eye. What the image hurls into my mind is that initial moment of a Zombie uprising, that moonlit night when, cheesy as it may be, the dead break loose from their tombs. An event which, taken seriously, has devilish consequences for those nearby, maybe even the world in general, and this picture excellently captures that feeling of impending dread. However, there is a flipside to that macabre coin, one where, the reanimated dead, while clearly still a catastrophic event for the living, have risen simply to have a good, if chaotic, time. As written on the The Return of Living Dead poster, "They're back from the grave and ready to party!".
