I have always hated this, a zombie or zombies would come through a door unseen by the victim and attack them, killing and eating them if i make a zombie video/movie, i am not going to do this to any of characters...
Remember everyone is going to be stinking. During a major outbreak you won't have time for showering and such. Also the scent of corpses will be in the air. So you might not always smell them before they appear.
You would have the smell of decay, and also feces and urine because the body voids these things when the muscles relax. I like your line of thinking. Good point.
yea i know, but it seems like a majority of the time the characters are froze by fear, or just get carried away, when they're attacked, it happens far too often imo, thanks for the reply, take it easy, and safe hunting...
This type of scare is actually is in most horror films because it is affective. The person is usually trying to come to grips and is frozen by disbelief. What this type of shot builds suspense by the anticipation of the attack. Even though we know what will most likely happen, We tend to be shocked when it it happens. The time leading up to the attack should be just long enough to torment the viewer and builds a sense of dread.
Yeah, I hate those scenes too. There is no way, unless you had headphones on and the music blasting, or you were deaf, that a zombie would be able to sneak up on you.
