Yeah because radiation does that. All those people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki came back as zomb- Oh wait...

Eh it's been used before, doesn't make it any less dumb, but it's been done before.

Zombies, like everything else I do get tired of from time to time ,and end up moving onto something else that piques my interest. I do return to that particular sub-genre. And zombifying other monsters is fun also. Last year one my favorite books was Eric S. Brown's BIGFOOT WAR 2:DEAD IN THE WOODS. One of featuring the southeast terrorized by P.O.ed Sasquatches. The dead Feet(as their called in the novel) end up releasing a virus which, you guess it, raises the dead ,and spreads like wildfire. By the end of the crypto-carnage, the virus has mutated so it also affects the Feet also, and we end up with scads of Zombified Bigfoots. Some which show up in the third book, Food Chain. Dungeons & Dragons gave us the Dracolich, undead dragons.

Also, one thing that I was hoping for last year in IDW's zombie-centric INFESTATION crossover. With Hasbro's Transformers and G.I. Joe in the mix. I though it would be a sweet way to re-introduce another Hasbro property, the INHUMANOIDS. More specifically, the Inhumanoid known as D-Compose, the Undead Horror.
Image
The monster sized zombie ,who can also transform people, and other living creatures into zombie like horrors subject to his will. And they end up growing pretty big as a result of his touch as well. Also, fans of the show might remember that he had legions of skeletons warriors to boot. Along with somekind of skeletal bat monsters, and somekind of crab/spider creatures as well. So monster sized zombies can be done ,and done well.

The other night, I was watching VARAN THE UNBELIEVABLE ! , where as those who have seen it know. The title kaiju is supposedly killed after being tricked into swallowing explosives. I was thinking of this threat after viewing it. And I thought if Toho allowed Godzilla to get involved in the first INFESTATION, have Varan's carcass end up getting infected with the virus, then coming back as a zombie. The idear for the Zombie-Varan's look would've been a gruesome, cool sight. As a result of the final blast that finished him off in the flick's end. The Obake's rib cage is broken open from lower gut, and exposed. On top of that, Varan's lower jaw is no longer there as well, taking off with the sternim. Also, a lot of sea crabs that had made their home in Varan's carcass, are dropping out ocasionally, and cab be seen crawling around throughout the ruined ribcage, and across his body. Also various other things can be seen crawling underneath the monster's skin. And despite his underarm wings ruined appaearance, Varan can still fly. What do you think ?

Your thinking of two things that sound strange together. It's like dinosaurs and aliens.......It sounds "unique" The thought of Zombie Kaiju is something that i always thought of too. What i imagined of zombie kaiju is not GMK Godzilla,but kaiju brought back from the dead.......and there one goal is to kill whatever killed them (for example, lets say Spacegodzilla came back as a zombie...i would imagine that he would attack godzilla first)
Running is not an option in the apocalypse. Unless its a Kaiju Apocalypse...THEN you run....

This will most likely never happen. Zombies have an appeal because of how they appeal to people who appreciate survival stories and also give people free reign to kill other human beings/show horrific gorey deaths and not feel guilty because well...they're undead. Vampires have a level of mystique and romance to them that also appeals to a certain audience and that will most likely always be there. Kaiju...is sort of hard to get the niche right.

It was the original cause for the ghouls in Night of the Living Dead.

And even then, the radiation was brought over from Venus. So unless they're gonna pull a Michael Bay and completely change G's origin, NO ZOMBIES.
Today, at the edge of our hope...

At the end of our time, we have chosen to believe in each other.

Today we face the monsters that are at our door.

TODAY WE ARE CANCELLING THE APOCALYPSE!

I gotta ask why this is even in the LPG sub-forums and not just the general Toho sub-forum? Did the opener seriously think Legendary Pictures would even consider pulling another GMK for LPG? :?

To quote Stan Lee: "I didn't give a damn if gamma radiation looked like rainbows! Radiation was always the best plot device during that time."

Says the zombie in the gasmask ;p


If there would ever be a Godzilla movie with Zombies, it wouldnt be the zombies we're used to seeing. Maybe a Resident Evil T-Virus deal.

Yeah, because radiation in Godzilla movies always strictly follows the rules of real-world science, it's definitely never done anything ridiculous, like make a dinosaur mutate into a giant monst- Oh wait...
