Since Dawn of The Dead will open tomorrow I thought I would raise this thread from its shallow grave.
Did it stink when you pulled it's rotted corpse from the bottom of the thread pile? Did it bite you? If it did, we may have to put you down.
Are humans the only ones zombified in the George Romero Universe? What about the deceased dogs, cats, and countless dead bugs that should be teeming over everything? Do zombie bugs only search for living counterparts of the same species to eat? Zombie birds pecking at your eyes would be irksome. Zombie birds trying to get at each other’s tiny brains would be entertaining. Which is it?
You have just waded hip-deep into the murky waters of zombie mythology. Zombie lovers can usually be split into two camps, Romero zombies and O'Bannon zombies. Here are the differences:
Romero Zombies:
Slow
Eat any human flesh
Can't talk
Can be taken down with a shot/ blow to the head
O'Bannon zombies (taken from the 1985 film, "Return of the Living Dead"):
Fast (occasionally run)
Eat only the brain (and yell alot about it too)
Seem to be pretty chatty
Even if you chopp them up, they still keep grabbing at 'cha.
This newest film, the remake of "Dawn of the Dead" seems to have smashed these two types together and added a bit to the mythos, which I can't reveal without spoiling some of the movie.
Why don't protagonists in zombie movies wear body armor? If you going up against an enemy, no matter how scary looking, that can only bite and scratch then you are a fool not to take a little extra caution in your wardrobe.
How about one of those big hamster balls? That would be really cool.
That being said, I look forward to another zombie movie.
I am hopeful,
-GH
