The veneration of the dead, including one's ancestors, is based on love and respect for the dead. In some cultures, it is related to beliefs that the dead have a continued existence, and may possess the ability to influence the fortune of the living. Some groups venerate their direct, familial ancestors; some faith communities, in particular the Catholic Church, venerate saints as intercessors with God, as well as praying for and to departed souls in Purgatory.
In Europe, Asia, and Oceania, and in some African and Afro-Diasporic cultures, the goal of ancestor veneration is to ensure the ancestors' continued well-being and positive disposition towards the living, and sometimes to ask for special favours or assistance. The social or non-religious function of ancestor veneration is to cultivate kinship values, such as filial piety, family loyalty, and continuity of the family lineage. Ancestor veneration occurs in societies with every degree of social, political, and technological complexity, and it remains an important component of various religious practices in modern times.
The prologue follows the actions of National Guard Sergeant "Nicotine" Crockett, who along with Kenny, Francisco and Tomboy, desert their posts and rob the protagonists of the previous film. Meanwhile, off the coast of Delaware lies Plum Island, home to two feuding Irish families: the O'Flynns and the Muldoons. The former family, led by Patrick O'Flynn, round up a posse to kill the undead on the island. O'Flynn learns that the Muldoons are keeping their undead loved ones safe until a cure is found. Tensions come to a head when O'Flynn and his posse arrive at a Muldoon house to dispatch their undead children, only to engage in a brief gunfight that leaves a woman dead as well. Unable to put the children down himself, Patrick surrenders his weapons when the Muldoon posse arrives. Seamus Muldoon contemplates killing Patrick until Patrick's daughter Janet suggests he be exiled from the island instead.
Living Dead is a blanket term for various films, series, and other forms of media that all originated from, and includes, the 1968 horror filmNight of the Living Dead conceived by George A. Romero and John A. Russo. The loosely connected franchise predominantly centers on different groups of people attempting to survive during the outbreak and evolution of a zombie apocalypse.
After the film's initial success, the two creators split in disagreement regarding where the series should head. Romero went on to direct five additional Dead films, while Russo branched off into literary territory, writing Return of the Living Dead, which was later loosely adapted into a film of the same name and have its own franchise, and Escape of the Living Dead.
The term may also refer to the reanimated human corpses that feast on the flesh and/or brains of the living seen in the films.
The Dead is a post-apocalyptic young adult horror novel written by Charlie Higson. The book, published by Puffin Books in the UK on 16 September 2010, is the second book in a planned seven-book series, titled The Enemy.The Dead takes place in London, a year before the events in the previous book (The Enemy, released in the UK by Puffin Books on 3 September 2009),), two weeks after a worldwide sickness has infected adults turning them into something akin to voracious, cannibalistic zombies.
Puffin Books released the third novel in the series, titled The Fear, on 15 September 2011; the fourth novel, The Sacrifice, on the 20 September 2012; the fifth novel, The Fallen, on 12 September 2013; the sixth novel, The Hunted, on 4 September 2014; and the final book, The End, is scheduled to be released in 2015. Disney Hyperion released Higson's short story companion book in the series, titled Geeks vs. Zombies, on June 5, 2012; it portrays an exclusive scene from The Fear, on World Book Day.
While the Lady of Pain is considered the ultimate ruler of the planar metropolis called Sigil, "the City of Doors", the Factions perform virtually all the actual administrative and practical functions of the city. They are the ones the people look to for authority; the Lady only gives edicts or appears personally under rare circumstances. Each of the Factions is based around one particular belief system; many of the Factions' beliefs make them enemies where their other goals and actions might have made them allies. All Factions hold many secrets from non-members and even their own members, for the fewer know a secret the more secret it is (and these are secrets of power, either wielded or potentially gained by the Faction's adversaries).
There are fifteen Factions in total, per decree of the Lady of Pain; any additional factions emerging would be subject to her wrath (unless they destroy one of the current 15). At one point there were many more Factions, but after a war referred to as the Great Upheaval amongst the factions, the Lady of Pain decreed that they had two weeks to get the number down to 15 or she would kill them all. Interestingly the Free League membership swelled to over a million, compared to the 20,000 or so members present day.

Survival Of The Dead Trailer
Now available on DVD: http://amzn.to/9dA06j - The master filmmaker continues to reinvent the modern horror genre in a film that draws new battle lines between the living and the dead.
A war-weary band of soldiers is lured to a remote island that promises to be the last paradise on earth, only to discover that even here, miles away from civilization, peace is shattered by the arrogance of men and the lust to kill.
Told with Romeros iconic sense of humor and keen eye for the fault-lines in contemporary culture, OF THE DEAD expands and intensifies the zombie universe for which he is celebrated.

Is it wise to come to me To guide you spiritually Dead eyes stare back from the void Reflecting what I see I am the key that locks the door The link between the worlds Take my hand Dare to walk with fire Let the dead rest in peace Step aside leave them be Let the dead rest in peace Sacrilege, final sleep I am here to satisfy Your curiosity If you think it's worth the risk To be stuck with me There are things you cannot see That's why you come to me Take my hand Dare to walk with fire Let the dead rest in peace Step aside leave them be Let the dead rest in peace Sacrilege, final sleep Was it wise to come to me To guide you spiritually Your dead eyes stare back from the void Now you're stuck with me Let the dead rest in peace Step aside leave them be Let the dead rest in peace Sacrilege, final sleep Let the dead rest in peace Step aside leave them be Let the dead rest in peace
