Quotes1

  • Jeff Blair: But why mirrors?
  • Joshua Daniels: The reason for the mirrors is simple, the dead can't stand to look at themselves. Same goes for when a living person comes up against one of 'em. When the living person shows fear, it all comes home again, that they're different. All they wanna do is kill the only thing they can never be: the living.
  • Jeff Blair: But what if a person could keep from showing fear? Wouldn't he be safe?
  • Joshua Daniels: Keep from showing fear? Only two ways of doin' 'em in, least as far as I know. First is to, trap 'em in a place from which there is absolutely no escape. Then they'll go crazy, eat themselves.
  • Jeff Blair: And the other way?
  • Joshua Daniels: The other way is much more simple. Since they think they're alive, by attacking 'em like you would the living. With guns, knives, anything. For a time, they can actually be convinced they're dead. To make that death final, however, they must not be buried. And left instead to be reclaimed, by mother nature.
  • Zoe Blair: Then will this all be over? Will they really be dead?
  • Joshua Daniels: Then they'll be where they belong... in death.
