Re: zombie apocalypse

[dethtoll]

Most zombie stories rigidly follow the Romero model: zombies everywhere, society collapses, that's really it. The zombies are either walking, shambling corpses, or running, infected humans, either way the result is the same. Even The Last Of Us, which had a fairly original take, followed the same concept, it just wisely skipped most of the apocalypse-scenario nonsense past the first chapter and went straight to 20 years later. The reason most zombie apocalypse scenarios are generic is because they rarely stray from this theme.

I think it'd be a good idea to mix and match a bit. Combine the standard zombie story with more fantastical horror elements -- Lovecraftian monsters and the like. Change the time period! Something in the past (say, the 1920s -- perfect for the above-mentioned Lovecraft references!) or in the far future. Or make the zombies a smaller threat -- rather than throngs in the thousands, simply make them number only in the hundreds, with other, more dangerous enemies about. Half-Life 2 played with this -- there are headcrab zombies everywhere, but they number maybe in the hundreds in a given region, dotting the landscape as an occasional hazard while bigger threats (the Combine, antlions, etc.) drew more attention.

And for the love of god don't make something like Crossed.
