Hot zombie


  We can take anything and turn it into a fountain of sexiness, be it for guys or girls. Look at pirates. They transformed from a bunch of scurvy-ridden dead-drunk sailors to the icon of badassery and sexiness they are now, see Captain Sparrow for a notable example (though I'm thinking Trafalgar Law, to be honest). And it’s not the first time some undead have been revamped* into sexy tough walking fan-service. Look at vampires. Though, in all fairness, I've just finished reading Polidori’s The Vampire and it’s not all that different from good modern-day vampire imagery (I'm thinking more Anne Rice than Stephanie Meyer here).
So why shouldn't we try this for our brain-eating friends? Sure, you fans of the zombie genre will argue that if they do get a brush of sexy they will stop being so menacing and it will be yet another horror genre ruined by “the masses”. I say screw that! Even vampires could keep their dignity after Twilight, so why, oh, why can’t we have a little, little bit of zombie fan-service while you get to see them eating brains?





*I'm sorry, sorry, sorry for that pun. T_T
