Vampires arent undead
@@are3287 Fun fact: Bram Stoker first used the word undead in its modern meaning for his novel Dracula. Since its first usage in modern English referred to vampires, who die and become reanimated, vampires are indeed undead.
Another interesting thing is the fact that zombies are the direct literary descendants of vampires. An old novel called I Am Legend (adapted into films called The Last Man on Earth, The Omega Man, and I Am Legend respectively), shows the precursors of zombies. The creatures in the book have an aversion to sunlight (a vampiric weakness created by film, as novel Dracula and folkloric vampires could walk in daylight), had to be killed with stakes to the heart, had conscious, intelligent minds, and ate people. They were also called vampires in the book. However, they shambled around in global hordes, were contagious, and were the result of scientific causes rather than supernatural causes, much like zombies. Night of the Living Dead is where zombies became distinct from vampires, and I Am Legend paved the way for the genre. But zombies and vampires have much more in common than most people know.

Wait this actually brings up a good question, what’s the etymology (word origin) of zombie?
Wikipedia: The English word "zombie" is first recorded in 1819, in a history of Brazil by the poet Robert Southey, in the form of "zombi", actually referring to the Afro-Brazilian rebel leader named Zumbi and the etymology of his name in "nzambi". The Oxford English Dictionary gives the origin of the word as Central African and compares it to the Kongo words "nzambi" (god) and "zumbi" (fetish).
In Haitian folklore, a zombie (Haitian French: zombi, Haitian Creole: zonbi) is an animated corpse raised by magical means, such as witchcraft.
The concept has been popularly associated with the religion of voodoo, but it plays no part in that faith's formal practices.
How the creatures in contemporary zombie films came to be called "zombies" is not fully clear. The film Night of the Living Dead made no spoken reference to its undead antagonists as "zombies", describing them instead as "ghouls" (though ghouls, which derive from Arabic folklore, are demons, not undead). Although George Romero used the term "ghoul" in his original scripts, in later interviews he used the term "zombie". The word "zombie" is used exclusively by Romero in his script for his sequel Dawn of the Dead (1978), including once in dialog. According to George Romero, film critics were influential in associating the term "zombie" to his creatures, and especially the French magazine Cahiers du Cinéma. He eventually accepted this linkage, even though he remained convinced at the time that "zombies" corresponded to the undead slaves of Haitian voodoo as depicted in White Zombie with Bela Lugosi.
The earliest contact I remember having with zombies was in the 1988 movie The Serpent and the Rainbow, based on a non-fiction book that describes the supposedly real case of zombification of a Clairvius Narcisse in Haiti. The story goes that he had died and been revived and kept mentally controlled with voodoo magic. Almost two decades later they stopped giving him the voodoo drugs and he recovered his sentience.
He wasn't undead in any practical sense. He was eating and aging normally. Still, this might have been the story that ignited the zombie craze in the West, as it has the elements of returning from death and being in a blank mental state.
Imagine a world where, instead, we over-applied the term "zombie" and had to keep adjusting our language.
Like first a cloud of neurotoxic powder blows through a small town and everyone who was outdoors at the time develops spongiform encephalopathy in their prefrontal cortex. They first become passive and compliant, grow apathetic to the point of catatonia, and finally reactivate and become capable of sudden violence as their empathy and inhibitions are lost. The causes and effects are similar to the original zombie concept from Haiti (where a voodoo sorcerer used neurotoxins to create compliant slaves) and the affected townsfolks behavior and appearance deteriorates to the point they earn the moniker.
But then it turns out the cloud was a harbinger of an alien invasion. Vermiform parasites spreading via fluid through mucous membranes and burrow into the brain. The human hosts act with seemingly mindless violence and the condition spreads by bites. We'd want to call them zombies because that quickly communicates the danger and mode of operation even though the human host never died. We'd also want to start referring to the first group as something else because they're no longer as much of a threat but their presence should be noted. Something like sleepers/sleepwalkers or maybe veggies would be appropriate. Someone coming from the catatonic rural outskirts to get help from someone in the 'burbs would have to be caught up on the nomenclature of this new threat.
The carnage left behind by the human / zombie conflict is gathered up by another entity with much more decided purpose. Behind the second wave of violence the invaders direct sleepers and hosts to build a factory of horrors in either a church's graveyard, a hospital's morgue, or a bloody slaughterhouse. Fresh bodies join the multitude of old corpses found at this facility. Here flesh is crafted and reanimated with alien medicine to create perfect, golem-like vessels to replace the stumbling, shambling hosts and limp, languid shells. These reanimated dead would technically be closer to the cultural definition of zombie, but their role in the invasion doesn't involve mindlessly attacking or infecting others, so they get a different moniker as well.
To recap: _sleepwalkers_ fit the original definition of zombie as a mindless human being but they were always alive and don't particularly behave like a zombie; the _zombie hosts_ perform the function of zombies as understood in popular media but they have an outside alien puppeteer which is uncommon in such stories; and _reanimated vessels_ fit the common understanding of zombies as the undead but the threat they pose is unlike that of a "zombie outbreak" as popularly told.

@@cddevelopment363 more like a plot outline than essay but yeah, I got carried away there…

Also it's easy to call the special types of zombies in your history:
Spore zombie, parasytic zombie and golem zombie.
I would totally watch this film.
It's so weird how the term "zombie" doesn't seem to exist in those universes
One of the creators of The Walking Dead actually explained why this decision is made, check it out movies.stackexchange.com/questions/17603/why-isnt-the-term-zombie-used
Remember in TWD S2 when some randoms called the zombies. "Lamebrains" I was like WTF. And how did undead just get totally skipped over a name choice.
Agreed: Undead, dead, ghouls, lazars, corpses, vampires... the problem is not that they avoided zombie, it’s that they chose “walkers,” over many other historically used terms for very similar ideas that people would likely reach for, first.
Fun fact: in arguably the first modern zombie story, I Am Legend, author Richard Matheson used “vampire.”
The idea is that zombies in their world are novel, so people in that world have to figure out their behavior, how the infection is transmitted, how to put them down, etc. If they used the term "zombie" it would imply that they have seen zombies in popular media just like we have and would know to shoot them in the head, that the infection is transmitted through bites etc. It also gives greater flexibility in terms of what the rules for the zombies are... they can add novel features without disrupting the audience's notion of what a zombie is.
None of it is technically necessary, we all know what zombies are, and you can tell through context whether or not zombies are something that existed in the culture prior to the outbreak/apocalypse based on how characters react, and that not every piece of media is going to have zombies that behave the same way, but its a way to set up some distance that some authors/writers/etc like to employ.
@@LaurieKoudstaal in I am legend they were more vampires than zombies tho

Besides, I love that all the names end with ER, freakER, swarmER, screamER, breakER, reachER, ragER, runnER, bleachER. And I don't remember the name of the birds, can you remind me it?
@@undeadsoldier3258 L4D virus is rabies-like.
Reminder that words that end with the same suffix don’t necessarily rhyme. i.e. flying and manhandling don’t rhyme but drying and flying do.
What would be interesting is a movie where a debilitating disease causes zombie like symptoms and these infected are actually called zombies except they don't hunt and eat people rather they waste away.
It's basically a pandemic genre movie with the zombie/infected trope flipped around.
Yeah, honestly I never understood why some movies refuse to use the word “zombie.” That would be like a vampire movie that refuses to say “vampire.” It honestly just seems strange. And it’s not like there would have to be a pre-existing name for them before the fictional apocalypse. The word zombie just describes someone who acts in a lifeless or brain-dead manner; mostly unresponsive and only semi-conscious. That’s a perfectly valid description of how a zombie behaves, so why not just call them zombies?! LMAO! 🤣
Anyway, great job, Joel! You rock!
"damn, those drinkers killed my wife!"
The reason movies and games refuse to use the word zombie is called "genre blindness". It means that in their world, zombies prior to the events in question have never existed. They're unaware of the entire concept, and that "allows" them to be unaware of the situation and how to approach the issue. Googling the term will give you better explanations and details about the subject.
whats even worse is when movies have the characters acting like they dont know what a zombie is and instead just think the people have gone crazy
I fucking hate that!! And they always walk up to the zombie like “hey are you ok? Oh my god you poor thing let me help you!!” Fucking ridiculous
Well some of them are cuz zombies never existed in pop culture. Like In the walking dead

The other cliche is when zombie fiction doesn't exist, and so people do EVERYTHING except aim for the head. Like I get they don't know what a zombie is, but maybe after a few shots to the body, maybe one to the nuts just to check, a human being would IMMEDIATELY aim for the head. Isn't that the place we usually aim for anyway?
I mean, you usually aim for center mass, as it's the easiest to hit and the easiest to put something down, but the fact that in most movies, they just refuse to shoot the brain, makes no sense.
@@MichaelMichas It's super annoying, and I don't understand why. Sometimes they'll keep shooting for the body right up to the moment it's on top of them, chewing at their flesh.
Zombie movies also have zombies just like shrug off bullets without even staggering too. Like if you shot a person point blank with a high powered rifle or pistol, they’re gonna stagger or even fall back. If you shoot a zombie in a movie they just ignore it and keep on shambling.
@@csguy3223 it's even dumber considering that in certain fiction zombies no longer have fine motor control, so a simple,shove can make them easily lose balance. Considering that recoil from certain guns can make HUMANS lose balance, zombies getting hit with said rounds should at least react similarly.
@@csguy3223 The newer Resident Evil remakes do that. Good games, but its ridiculous that you can shoot them point-blank in the face with a shotgun and they barely react to it.
The web serial "Worth the Candle" plays with this: "zombie" is a taboo word to call the undead, because of a necromancer who established a business based on undead labour, branding them as zombies, only for it to be discovered that his particular technique of necromancy rendered the minds of the living awake inside the corpses- "locked into their body, fully able to feel everything that happened to them, but unable to take any action on their own. The ‘zombies’ would sit there doing assembly work, watching as their bodies slowly and inevitably decayed, unable to speak, unable to stop, watching their own demise at a remove."
so like death paralysis. Or would it be life paralysis? Limbo paralysis?

That sounds like the modern day myth about zombie slaves in Haiti.
Now thats terrifying
The entire origin of the zombie genre was inspired by bokor zombie in Haiti, which is literally this. They supposedly, if you believe the stories, use pufferfish venom to make the people into numb, sluggish people with little free will. At first they would fake the persons death so there were no questions, giving rise to the idea that they had returned from the dead.

One of the best names, "shambler," was taken by Quake. But at least it was given to the coolest monster ever, a yeti with massive bloody claws and no eyes.
So... a blind Wampa?
I'm a fan of Darkest Dungeon's Shambler. Nothing to do with zombies, or even humanoids in any form, but it's THE Shambler for me.
And it shot lightning. Good times
@@zacharyrollick6169 basically except it can shoot lightning at you
I like the scribblenauts shambler. Giant lump of flesh with two arms, no legs, and tubes all over its back
Joel, you're the best
This is so true on so many occasions . I guess he watched a film like this and was inspired to make this video!
At least Shaun of the Dead made it into a joke “the zed word, it’s ridiculous”

"the Z word!"

Thanks God.

Mobilizers, don't forget
@@MemeMarine Mobilizers is easily the best one
wtf are you talking about boinkers is awesome
I thought i saw milkers
Never gonna forget when Glen was first introduced in TWD and called them "Nerds"
"Geeks" would make more sense because of circus geeks, but "Nerds"? I never got why someone didn't step up and say that was the dumbest thing he could have picked, and maybe don't use it?
I’m sick of these damn Nerds, nerdin’ all over the streets!
he said geeks
@@snubcube Yep, I was referring to the Walking Dead in that case, not the video.
Nerds and geeks, because they’re always pushing up their taped glasses with one finger, and they all carry protractors and scientific calculators.
I just imagine that they're actually talking about killer joggers that died, came back to life but mumble a lot.
Saturday, March 6th, 2021: The day the KRplus algorithm finally introduced me to Joel Haver. Sometimes I think "What if I hadn't taken a chance and clicked on this video?" or "What if I hadn't been scrolling through the KRplus home page at midnight when I should have already been asleep by then?" The implications these questions present send shivers down my spine. I shudder to think what could have been: a life without Joel Haver.
"I hate how the Walkers got us, highly resistant to gunpower, impervious to pain and only stop to the most forceful killblows... Almost as if they were zombies... Damn Walkers"
Where is this from?
Walking dead
@@PP-ok2xt When, what episode? I don't remember them ever saying the Z word.
In the series finale, all the characters have been overrun. One by one they are bitten or devoured. With his dying breath, Daryl detonates the napalm charges rigged throughout the compound, releasing the entire hoard and the doomed survivors from material existence. As the last shifting corpse drags itself toward the exit, a door opens. Footsteps are heard followed by a shot of a cowboy boot stomping through the charred skull, ceasing its movement. The camera pans up to Rick Grimes face, who looks directly at the audience.
“Fucking zombies.”
Credits.
“I call them walkers, because they walk.” I think I might be a walker too!
You’d better not start jogging!
At least you're not one of those damn shufflers.
I was waiting for him to say eaters, because they eat
the resolution made me think that i needed to scroll up
Ah, I was bitten and now there's a full moon... I'm going to turn into a doggy boy.

I like this sounds like something Ralph from Ed edd and eddy would say xD
naw you be turning into a howler seeing as you know you howl sometimes
Call them “Rots” for multiples and “Rot” or “a Rot” for just one of them. Cause they rot.
Good one
They would probably get a high score on 'rot'ten tomatoes.

"Zombies" can't be copyrighted.
ooohhhhh, that makes sense
corporations are corporations after all
Corporations do be corporationing doe 😔

@@skimbo1407 *corporating
Zombie actually famously wasn't copyrighted when night I f the living dead came out and that's the only reasons zombies can exist as they do in pop culture
this one YA series, The Enemy called zombies "Sickos"
yeah...
Technically only some of the kids call them sickos, some say zombies, freaks, opposition, grow-ups, mothers and fathers ect
If someone called them the sick, it'd make sense if they didn't know they were dead. Zombies usually seem like someone who's just sick at first.
@@DSan-kl2yc yeah in the enemy they're not dead and some are more like just cannibals than fully zombies
