how come in zombie movies shows or video games

[Fumo Bnnuy n Frends]

in zombie media they never really do much for zombies. It's always oh my gawd zombeh then bite get bitten and die or become one.

How come they don't just do something like:
-build a moat with spikes at the bottom?
-put sharp spikes on walls or gates?
-put self powered treadmills with blades at the ends of it so zombies decapitate each other as they push towards the location you're at
-same as above but for legs so they can't chase after you (if they do they'll drag skin until they're unable to move at all)
-use a giant combine and just turn them into mulch


like there are 1000+ ways to die stupidly irl. So many OSHA or safety violations that you can just use against zombies?

i'll give props to TWD in that survivor Rick meets in the first season with the son and zombie wife. He lost his son and goes crazy but he makes wooden spikes and barbed wire around the town and it's literally zombie free

But everytime i see a zombie hoard around an obviously survivor made / prepped safe haven they just have bare fence or spikes. They really don't have like 10 levels of security to the one thing that if it bites you then you're as good as gone.

It's like the snail that follows you slowly but doesn't stop if you were given 10 mill dollars and one touch kills you scenario.

like seriously just dig holes

zombies aren't smart enough to climb stuff just push so they'll stay stuck down there. Then just set them on fire or something

The real reason is that if survivors could easily take care of zombies it would be pretty hard to make it an engaging zombie story. Imagine a zombie movie where someone uses their noggin effectively enough to negate the problem twenty minutes in.

引用自 Munithe EXT：

Digging a hole creates noise. Noise attracts zombies.

Create a noise maker to lead the zombies to a blender death trap.

Imagine having to deal with World War Z Zombies. If you’re not already underground with a lifetime supply of food or on a Military Ship in the middle of the ocean then you’re screwed.

Yeah thats fair. Zombieland is somewhat of the exception to the rule.

There's also zom 100: bucket list of the dead airing right now that's going for the same angle, so it seems like we might be on the cusp of being flooded with zombie media op has been living for.

Thats true. I watched the two episodes last night and i quite enjoyed it. I hope it stays as good as it has been.

It's the only zombie movie that made an ounce of sense, if like in TWD you die but by some miracle your brain doesn't decompose at the same rate your body does, your eyes will and all zombies will be blind. Hell just try to keep your eyes from blinking for 1 single minute you'll see the absurdity of this thing.
On the other hand WWZ is a virus like the rage virus that makes you go nuts and you will eventually die cause you stop eating, sleeping etc. your organs will fail and... death

Depends on how many zombies there are.
Spikes will eventually be covered with bodies.
Blades will get dull and mechanisms will clog up and fail.
Holes will eventually get filled with bodies so the rest can just climb over.
Harvester will wear out and run out of fuel.
