End Zombie Exploitation!

In 1929, William Seabrook introduced the term ‘zombie,’ from the Hatian zonbi, to the developed world in his book, The Magic Island. Then, in 1932 the Halperin brothers debuted their film “White Zombie,” starring Madge Bellamy and Bella Lugosi. The American public became obsessed with zombies.

Ever since then, Hollywood and horror writers alike have exploited zombies for their own personal gain. Entertainers have forged ahead with little regard to what zombies are like, pandering to a sensationalized display of gore and guts that might even make a zombie lose his lunch, all in name of the mighty dollar. It isn’t enough that zombies don’t get to rest in peace? Everybody wants a piece of them.

Here at SNEZE, we’re taking a bead on Zombie exploitation, and we’re going to keep shooting until we bring down the shambling spectre of undead profiteering. After all, Zombies are people too, or rather, they were. The defamation they suffer at the hands of pop culture is worse than getting a cap popped in their brains. If they’re to have any hope of a normal life, we have to end discrimination.

Zombie rights lawyer Dane Rotbody said in a recent interview with SNEZE:

Rotbody: “If a corporation can be a person, why can’t a Zombie eat a person?”
SNEZE: “Did you say ‘eat a person’?”
Rotbody: “Be a person. I meant, be a person.”
SNEZE: “Well, aren’t they really people already? Just... disabled?”
Rotbody: “I think they’d prefer the term ‘differently abled.’ Anyway, ‘you are what you eat’ my mother always said. So they’re people!”

So whether you exploit zombies through literature, art or film, you can be sure that we here at SNEZE are watching. And your exploitation will be coming back to bite you on the ass!
