Reading all your comments make me feel more safer I’ll begin on how I started out my kinemortophobia.
It all started when I was 4 this might be funny but it was a Simpsons episode that started chewing at my bravery.
I remember on how I dreamt of skeletons and zombies in my backyard but that was just one quarter of my phobia coming into place. I was okay until the age of 10. I saw walkthroughs of Dead Rising but until i saw one of those undead flesh eaters eating someone my fear boosted up to 90%. I kept saying it’s just a game but nothing worked. Next when I was 11 my mum rented a film and i saw a start of a trailer and it had the earth on it so I thought it was about science but until I saw a zombie tackle her husband I was changing the movie straight away and that boosted my fear into overdrive! I’m liking cod zombies,dead rising 2,the left 4 dead series and the new dead island but I can Play the games. With out shittin myself but im still scared in a way…

I’m so glad it’s not uncommon.

When i was smaller, as soon as the clock hits very late at night or midnight – and everyone is asleep, I get scared because I used to think everyone in the whole world is lifeless and that stranded feeling took over.

When my brothers watched resident evil, brought home zombie comics, and played zombie games – that fear was times two plus taken to a whole new level.

Over the years, I’ve been daring to overcome it. Now, my fear of zombies is not so bad. In watching zombie movies and games, I get scared – but after awhile, it’s okay. I also tried to make good use of it: studied it in depth in an exam topic, and i even won a prize for it.

I’ve managed to calm it down, but the feeling still comes to me as the most alarming and haunting than any other. Besides the adrenaline rush is cool.

It is good to find others out there. I feel ridonculous for this fear as it is so out there, but it is ruining my sleep. I spent the night in a hotel room last night because I am on a work trip, and I kept having panic attacks while trying to fall asleep. In my sleep deprived and addled brain, I kept thinking that the door was very secure but the window was easy access to zombies, and I kept worrying that I did not have anything decent with which to barricade the window.

I have nightmares and night terrors frequently, and it is all so odd to be because I LOVE zombie stuff. Shaun of the Dead is in my top 3 favorite movies, and I’ve even written a term paper about it. I have played almost every zombie video game out there and have seen almost every film. I never seem to get scared when I am watching them, but when trying to sleep, I panic or have horrific nightmares, even when it has been a long time since seeing one. It’s getting out of control.

My fear feels like it grows everyday. I make survival plans in my head and have designed my house so that when/if zombies ever do become a problem, I can self sustain for a good amount of time. I plan out how I am going to have to rotate land for crops, I am teaching myself how to become a jack of all trades for any occassion that I might be needed to help. I map out certain areas of the US and what my statistics are for certain places that I might be and what my rate of survival is. I watch zombie movies, read zombie books (fast forwarding through the zombie parts), and try to learn from their mistakes. I make itimized lists of supplies I will need to have on hand and am considering building a bomb shelter. I am considering learning how to make my own bullets. Survival has become an obsession of mine.

I’m 16 and I have kinemortophobia… I’m not sure when it started, but I have a hard time sleeping at places that aren’t my home. For example, I go to my aunt’s house and I have a paralyzing fear that zombies are going to come. My main fear deals with my family, namely my sisters who are 9 and 7. I always imagine what would happen if the zombies came and I had to protect them. My worst fear is of them being bitten…

I hate sleeping next to windows and whenever I sleep over at soneone’s house, I sleep next to a window. I always imagine them stepping into the light of a streetlamp and where I go to sleep over, they live on the corner. I always have visions of the zombies coming and I somehow manage to get my sisters up on a roof, but someone, be it one of my aunts or grandmother, gets caught and eaten. I can always imagine the screams…

I’ve recently started imagining zombies attacking during school. My sisters’ school is right next to mine and I imagine running over, grabbing them, and finding my way back to my school. Yet, I always lose one. In my dreams, and in my school…fantasy I guess you could call it, I always imagine my youngest sister getting bitten, or eaten first. I always lose my grip on her hand or she trips…something. I’m going away to college next year and I always am scared to imagine what would happen if zombies did become real while I was away.

I suppose this fear stems from my fear of losing my sisters and my fierce protection of them. My worst fear is to lose one of them, especially if I am the one who has to kill them before they turn or hear them as they are being eaten.

I’m so glad to know I’m not the only one. My family knows, but I think they don’t believe it’s that much of a deal. Thank you everyone for letting me know that I am not the only one.

What scares me is that if you’re bitten when you die you are no longer in control of yourself. Like vampires till have minds and werewolves are human most of the time, but zombies there’s no controlling yourself, you die and you want to eat people. I watched part of a comedy zombie film and that scared me because I then when went walking in the dark with my friend. I thought if I finished the film I would feel better, but I didn’t. I’m 15 now and was 12 at the time so I haven’t had the fear long, but for over 6months I slept every night with the light on and the door closed. People call me names sometimes for being scared, but it’s not like any of us can help it. I’ve heard of zombie crawls in America and wish we had them in England too because I think it would help.
