1- In the original "Night of the living dead", only dead people were attacking, there was nothing about bitting and turning, right ?
2- If you act as a Zombie, will they attack you (Like shawn of dead) or they sense that you are dead so you ar Ok ??
3- Do they most likely move in groups ?
And regarding the last point, it will be SO easy to make them follow you to a hangar to burned them all, or to a narrow place where they can be disposed like cattle....

The phenomenon was just starting, so most people hadn't yet figured out how 'zombiism' is spread.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">There is no specific reason why it seems the dead are able to distinguish between themselves and the living. One theory is that they see in some sort of special vision, perhaps infrared, and that enables them to see our warm bodies. It may also be another explanation (the other being the noise coming from the hammering and various commotion) as to why they seemed to flock to the farmhouse in both versions of Night because the house would be literally radiating heat.Quote:

Given the comedic circumstances of Shawn, I don't know if that scene could be counted as canon. I believe it is something that Romero should've explored somewhere in his films... or at least subtely touched upon. Perhaps during one of Logan's studies in the immensely informational Day of the Dead.
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Overall, yes. A group of zombies is obviously much more dangerous than a single one. They'll also feast as a group.Quote:

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">This all depends on how large the group is.Quote:

Everything about a zombie, even a whole selection devoted to physiology.
goddamn I need that book.
i thought that scene in shaun was just stupid, it is clear that the zombies can sense the living from the dead. thats why they were attracted to the mall, theres no way in hell they could've heard the people in the mall from outside like you suggested with the hammering of the house.
Yeah, I thought about it again last night before falling asleep, and that scene is completely bogus.
But as for the dead flocking to the mall- it was explained pretty clearly in the film itself. And it makes total sense.
-"Why do they come here?"
-"Memory, some kind of instinct. This was an important place in their lives..."
The dead still retain some memory of their former lives.
They remember that's what they use to do. And that's why they're returning to do a little shopping.
Logan said it best in Day.
"They ARE us. They are the extension of us... It's some kind of deep, dark primordial instinct."
Different vision may also be another explanation for why the dead were mesmerized by the fireworks exploding in the sky in Land of the Dead.
Well, at least until- ...just watch the movie.
Plus, in Night of the Living Dead, Karen Cooper, the little girl, is bitten, and returns back to life as a zombie. "I hurt".
I think that scene in Shaun of the Dead was hilarious. Of course it is goofy, it is supposed to be. In case anyone forgot to notice, it is a comedy, not a serious zombie film. [img]wink.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">well i thought it was supposed to be a comedy set around a serious zombie movie, and Daj they didn't really explain why they were coming to the mall, they just said maybe it's their memory, but they also said "maybe it's us" and simply by the fact that the living attract the dead says to me they can clearly sense the difference between the 2 on a more animal level then just what they look and sound likeQuote:

*smacks self in head*
I remember now that when the group is standing in the mall listening to the scratching at the doors, Stephen says, "They know we're still in here".
man, I would hate to be one of the last people left... one or two zombies, that's cool, it's when you have groups ripping on yer intestines and gnawing your legs when it's not so fun! [img]wink.gif[/img]
