Hello people of Facepunch, me and a friend are planning to make a zombie movie, and we are looking for ideas. If you post an idea and it gets used, we will give you credit for the idea. Also you cannot request to be in the movie. We will post a link to it here when it's finished if we can.
Dinosaur zombies

Strange,but interesting. I'll have to check with the other director.
How about it turns out the zombies aren't really zombies and the main characters are really zombies and they're hallucinating because that's how the virus works or something.

Make the infection come from plants. And as they become more infected they have vines coming from inside their body and whatnot.
kinda like this, only with more human bits

Interesting, but they are going to look more like classic zombies. I'll still give you credit if we use the idea.
Use as many zombie movie cliches as possible and reference everything reference-able
A part in a disco where there are a bunch of zombies and flashing lights and 70s music.
Also it would be great if a zombie could be decapitated with a vinyl record.

The special effects would be very difficult to make.
Awesome guys, more good ideas and I'll have enough for my movie.

I've got to go for now, keep those ideas coming!
Don't show a single zombie on-screen and have it all about super awesome suspense till the last second then WHAM! Zombie hitler.

just glue a bunch of grass to yer face.
Two zombie geeks playing games like Resident Evil get stuck in a zombie apocalypse and have to survive off everything in the house, and they are inexperienced.
have the black guy be the first to die
[QUOTE=SomTervo;30415387]have the black guy be the first to die[/QUOTE]
you can't stress this enough, this part is really important
[QUOTE=SomTervo;30415387]have the black guy be the first to die[/QUOTE]
If you don't have a black friend for the role then paint someone black and kill him. This part is EXTREMELY important.
Good stuff guys, but I should mention that not all of ideas will make the cut. But there will be a black guy that gets killed, but I'm not saying who gets killed first.
Have it be from the viewpoint of the zombies, who are more intelligent than they seem, against the survivors.
Or have it be some psychological shit and have it be from the view of a survivor who doesn't actually realize he's a zombie.
WHAT A TWIST.
Care to elaborate a bit more about the project?
here's a good tip;
don't film close to train tracks, there's a chance a monster will pop out and the government will come looking for you

It's just a short zombie movie that me and a friend are going to post on YouTube and get millions of views.
Make it so they have to reach some kind of "safe zone" but later it turns out there is no safe zone and everything is fucked, yet have your main character survive somehow.
No one's gonna se it coming!
Morgan freeman style opening, go to have that smooth intro
Make them magic zombies, as in,
-They're invincible.
-Instead of biting you to infect you, they emit a huge, trailing cloud of black smoke from their mouths that you disappear in if you get caught in it, only to come back later from out of nowhere as another part of the horde.
-Occasionally, they build makeshift altars in the middle of the woods to sacrifice small woodland creatures on. To what gods or spirits they give these offerings to, nobody knows.

Just going to magically get views
Let me guess, 8 bottles of ketchup is your budget?
This movie sounds cool as fuck, you better post a link here so we can see it
If your still accepting ideas; I would make the zombies able to learn. In the beginning they would move slowly and not be able to access higher ground or rooms that were shut, and as they learned they would be able to open doors and climb short walls.
no but seriously, if you're not very good actors or writers the best thing you could do is have minimal dialogue.
