Kill the scariest vampires first.
Always listen to Dr. Van Helsing.
Once people become vampires, they are no longer your friends.
Trying to salvage some relationships can kill you.
Lessons from the Horror of Dracula applied to zombies:
Kill the scariest zombies first.
Always listen to ME.
Once people become zombies, they are no longer your friends.
Trying to salvage some relationships can kill you.
The lessons for various types of the undead are remarkably similar. The critical word in the advice above is “scariest,” of course. We often become trapped in the surface of our lives, using lessons that have become outmoded simply because we have not gone back to reexamine the lessons of our youth. “Scariest” in human terms may be a guy with many tattoos who looks like an angry linebacker. “Scariest” in zombie or vampire terms has little to do with size or conformity to social conventions. It’s easy to underestimate grandma zombies. Anyone with teeth is a risk.The undead can keep coming at you whether they are linebackers, elderly golfers or little league softball players. Like death, undeadness is a great equalizer.
What killed Jonathan Harker? (Go watch the movie if you’re confused.) His compassion for a beautiful woman and his sense of chivalry. Kindness and compassion can be our worst enemy in an undead situation. Some relationships cannot be salvaged.
