Death Becomes Her is a fantastic movie that stars Meryl Streep, Bruce Willis and Goldie Hawn (two of my favorite actresses). In this film they are both looking for eternal youth and through the magic of a potion obtain it. However a mishap that brings their death they come to find out that they are still "alive".
I always found this movie amusing in the past and found it a little sad that in the end they had trouble keeping up their appearances. While sitting here this afternoon with the movie playing it hit me. OMG they are zombies!
Both women of the film start the movie in their perspective living states however due to incidents that occur during the film that involve them trying to respectively kill one another the not so gruesome transformations occurs. The ladies mangle and destroy their bodies as the film progresses and comes to it's conclusion.
What was in this little magical bottle? Was it a magic potion that was meant to preserve their living bodies not accounting for accidental death or was it a carrier zombie virus that upon their death awakened causing them to rise from their deaths?
They may not have been bloody thirsty, brain eating, flesh craving zombies that we are use to but they are zombies nonetheless. This is a great reminder that we must be vigilant in our quest to be aware of the pending zombie threat, that zombies in any form can be any where. They can be a stranger, our neighbors, a family members, our favorite authors or a holiday celebrity.
