I GET THAT THIS IS THE DUMBEST NAME FOR A MOVIE EVER!
I'M SURE IT'S OBVIOUS THAT I JUST PUT "ZOMBIE" AND "TERMINATOR" TOGETHER
It's kinda starting to grow on me..........and it can't possibly be worse than "Sharknado"..........!
Space explorers find a planet that is fully inhabited by horrible zombies.......it seems that the intelligent humanoid creatures on this world became intelligent enough to do something REALLY stupid........and there was no "save-all solution" in this scenario, everyone was eventually turned into these undead creatures
THE WORLD:
This planet is given all different variations of names, such as: Zombonia, Deadball, Grossworld, Zombalot, Planet Guts ...........you get the idea
- it's technical name is ICG7508b
Strange fluctuations of gravity are minimally noticeable by most humans. The gravity is quite a bit stronger on the planet itself, but several of the planet's large moons kept in a particular resonance with the planet itself apply gravitational counter force which makes the force of gravity just slightly higher comparable to earth. It's believed that the humanoid aliens that previously inhabited this world (and eventually resulted in zombies-o-plenty), were naturally acclimated to the slight variations of gravity such that it was not something that they were affected by in any way. A human from earth on this world, not having this naturally developed acclimation, would regularly notice strange force differences on their body. For some people this can be fairly debilitating, many people who experience symptoms compare it to motion sickness "but different".
It is the hope and even the dream of many people that this world one day may be entirely restored to it's previous glory.......where it was an amazing world, much larger than Earth, and having at least 9 moons of various sizes and origins.........The ambition to recover this planet is the ultimate goal and effective motivation behind the Zombinator tournaments!
-VISITOR AREAS:
This is in many ways still considered to be a beautiful world, since much of the zombies have become concentrated in certain areas leaving HUGE areas of natural healthy landscape that has basically been inaccessible by these monsters for a long time. There is still a large variety of native animals present and of course some accidentally introduced and also intentionally/strategically inserted species as well, although some have been shown to have various different mutations after having been attacked by zombies and escaping back into the wild. The visitor areas are highly protected on top of being located in extremely difficult to reach areas that are effectively impossible for almost every type of zombie to get to. Some of these buildings even being constructed on the side of sheer cliffs, and having slanted smooth roofs so as to shed off any creatures that may fall onto the structure from above (this actually the preferred location for most types of permanent buildings. Of course, occasionally visitor areas may have intrusions by strange wildlife, although rare, it almost always results in dramatic situations taking place.
-COMPETITION AREAS:
In certain strategically designated areas on the outskirts of any "pool" you find EXTREMELY hardened structures, secured by some kind of futuristic electrical device that explodes zombies into a fine mist if they ever come anywhere close, a system that has NEVER been known to fail .............
These competition areas are where the ZOMBINATOR Tournament Teams are located and where their operation and control systems are stationed.
-POOLS:
A "pool" is an area observed to be fully accessible by zombies and where they are known to migrate with animal migration patterns and other things that catch their attention, at times they are even found stumbling after a full moon in the night sky.........which happens almost constantly with one or more of the planets 9 moons.
Large groups of zombies, called "parades" can quickly grow into what is known as a "squeeze". When massive numbers of zombies begin to bottleneck, or even better........become blocked in completely, the huge mass of corpses builds up and actually starts to apply a surprisingly extreme crushing force that has been known to liquefy zombies, but also potentially damage machinery. Special drones that are designed to get their attention are used to cause squeezes to happen in optimal ways to generate the most kills possible, but avoid human machinery from being destroyed
-MANAGEMENT AREAS:
Right in the SHIT!...................Unbelievably fortified structures somehow built in the thick sickening horror show that is the "deadzones", or areas where highly concentrated seemingly endless hoards of zombies have collected. These hardened defensive complexes are so high that the typical sloped mound of trampled and compressed corpses that always accumulates and encompass the base of these types of buildings...... is still a tiny fraction of what would be required to act as an effective ramp to gain access to the only way in or out of the structure.........which of course is located at the top. This is where the Zombinator Management and Control Centers are located. These places are IMPOSSIBLE to access by any means besides special multi rotor aircraft...........and they also have extremely robust defensive capabilities for a huge array of other possible threats (although those systems almost never get used they are still there for good measure)
Another interesting detail about the management of necessary utilities on this world is that power plants actually use "zombie power" to make electricity
Typically in the form of inclined treadmills that zombies turn as they constantly try to reach some kind of lure...
(here is a basic illustration of this idea)
!!!!!!!!!!!THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are contests between groups of humans to see who can build the best "disposal machines"
which are extremely popular:
to the government for their assistance in thinning out the zombie "population"
to the general public for it's entertainment value
to many underground organizations that run gambling rings
to regular companies that sell products or provide advertising.........etc.
to a lot of scientists and researchers who closely study these events, for obvious reasons
to various contestants who are interested in the huge prizes and worldwide attention
devices become exceedingly elaborate as time goes on
(here is an example)
These brutally effective booby trap style devices are usually found to have very encouraging results when used for attracting and destroying large quantities of zombies
Of course, the benefit of these machines is obvious, but they all face challenges, like:
power or fuel to operate (sometimes the zombies themselves would actually power the machines)
they tend to get clogged with "matter" or "stew" or other clever terms that basically refer to the "zombie gore" material typically produced by these contraptions
they can simply break or fail mechanically or electrically
the weather can be a factor
possible sabotage
the ability to attract zombies, which is normally not a challenge at all, so most machines have the same very simple "luring" technique(s)
setup and/or retrieval of the machine(s)
control and/or maintenance
accurate "score" keeping
There are also terminator-like robots, which are controlled by humans that pilot them in first person view, much like a "surrogate"
their goal is to try to seek out and kill more of the "hidden ones" than anyone else, which is a different type of game all together
TWIST(S)
it is discovered that there are zombies that are surviving these machines
due to a wide range of strange mutations, certain zombies periodically begin to restore some signs of "intelligence" which helps them to survive or avoid these devices
the hunger for brains thing remains, of course
these "smart" zombies actually begin to present a new challenge
MORE TO COME...........
