Dear Zombie Master,
This question is about the dead turning after they are eaten by zombies.
First off, this is based on everyone being infected so you turn when you die.... If your shot, you die, you fall, zombies start eating you... do you still turn? Or from eating you do you just stay dead? Cuz your head hasn't been touched. Do you turn with your body half eaten? Please answer! This has been bugging me!

Jordyn,
The answer to your question depends on if you have been bitten, or if you have been eaten.
If it is just a bite (you are in the middle of a zombie attack and one takes a chunk out of you but you are able to get away afterward) then you will turn. No real way around it though you could try cutting off the offending appendage. It has had mixed results for which reason I would not wait around to see if it was successful.
If, on the other hand, you are being eaten (again, you are in the middle of a zombie attack but this time, more than one over power you and start ripping you apart) there is usually nothing left to reanimate. Zombies are pretty efficient in the ripping and tearing department.

Lace,
Not sure without more info, and it has been awhile since I have seen it and do not remember the head being sewn back on, but it sounds like Cemetery Man (Delamorte, Delamore). Hope this helps. If it does not I would suggest posting your question to the Brain Trust.

Hi Zombie Master,
I'm just wondering, from all I have read about upcoming zombie movies at some point they are speculating they are gonna have a movie where they "find a cure". How is that going to effect the ongoing end all/be all that is Zombie Horror? People cant say it wont change the course of zombie movies forever. Every movie feeds off the "You have to destroy the brain" theory. Won't finding a cure end the idea of zombies forever? And change the course of all true horror? Zombie Films are part of the great world of horror. I saw Night of the Living Dead for the first time at 8 years old and I've based my entire film obsession around Horror because of that. Furthermore, George Romero had it right with Dawn of the Dead, Survival is needed to be viewed as impossible, Who has time to find a cure with such inpending doom? And if they find the cure..Do the people die? Do they fully come back to life? Has no one considered the repercussions of finding a cure? The whole concept terrifies me more then any horror film I've seen to date and for the record I've seen everyone of the "!00 Best Horror of 2012"

Maggie,
I do not believe the "cure" trend will necessarily harm our beloved genre. I believe that it is just an attempt to bring some originality to it. I do not however think it will take off as a viable replacement. Why you ask? Because, if you follow the rules of zombies then if there is a "cure" then the end result will be a bunch of really dead undead. If they are dead first, then reanimated into a zombie, then the only thing a "cure" will do is make them dead again. That is a great ending to a dramatic "end of the world" zombie movie (multiple small groups of survivors left over to repopulate the world).
I also agree with you in that the only cure I will have time to come up with will be a well placed bullet to the head.
Also, congrats on the 100 Best of 2012 viewing. If you haven't joined the Ossuary yet, you should think about it. Every Friday night @ 9:30 eastern/8:30 central we watch 2 pre-picked movies meet up in the chat room to talk, riff and just catch up on things.

Dear Wise and Powerful Zombie Master,
Two questions.. 1st) I am Legend... Zombies or something more? Great movie. 2nd) Marry me?
M
---------------
M,
1st) I Am Legend is actually closer to a story about vampirism than about zombies. The main reason why it is associated with zombies is because The Great Romero has acknowledge it as a main influence when writing NOTLD.
2nd) Although I am flattered by your offer alas, I am already married and just celebrated 24 years worth. However, if she does not survive the zombie apocalypse, I will definitely keep you in mind.

Dear Zombie Master,
I have been reading the horror freak book and it was said that Dawn of the Dead 2004 is the first running zombie but my brother said thats wrong.. He said that The Return of the Living Dead was the first running zombie movie made... Who is right?

Katrina
Katrina,
If you are going to argue semantics then actually neither of you are. Technically the first "runner" in the modern flesh eating zombie genre was the cemetery zombie in the original Night of the Living Dead. He did try to chase after the car. Not sure if this was a contradiction or just a necessity in the story because your typical Romero zombie is a slow shuffler.
Your O'Bannon (ROTLD) zombie I would consider a fast shuffler because you still have a chance to out run them, even if you trip in mid flight. You must also consider that the O'Bannon zombie breaks just about every zombie rule in the book... on purpose.
The Snyder zombies on the other hand (Dawn of the Dead (2004)) are true runners. These bad boys can chase you down at top speed and if you trip, you are dinner. And as far as these undead sprinters are concerned, I do believe it is widely accepted that Zack Snyder was the first to introduce them.

Dear Zombie Master,
I am looking for a zombie flick that does NOT focus on a small band of survivors but rather from the governments view point.. Like how they get the intial reports of an outbreak, the confusion of that and how the governments responds to this. Too many movies only show after it happens when you bases overrun and places burnt down etc. I know the word war z will address this but I am suprised this has not been done before like other 'diaster movies' have done. It does not have to be a main stream movie, Indy would be ok. Oh, and yes I did see Day of the Dead, back in the day...that does kind of touch on this.

John,
There is a good independent movie from 2007 called Wasting Away (also known as Aaah! Zombies!!) It takes sort of comedic look at both sides. Although it does follow a "small band of survivors" they are not quite what you would expect. Fido (2006) is another great film that looks at the causes and effects from both sides and it is a refreshing take.
You are actually more apt to find zombie movies told from the zombies point of view ( I, Zombie, Colin, etc.) than you are the government/military point of view and usually when you find one it is mixed within the survivor story but if WWZ makes it hopefully we will see more in that vein.

Hey Zombie Master,
I have just been sitting here reading some of the questions asked to you previously and let my mind wander. And it hit me. Would there be a point to attempting to survive a Zombie apocolypse.?
I am one for giving it your all and taking millions down before I go, but as seen in the third installment of the Resident Evil franchise, the world wouldn't be that tough. Whetehr you liked the movies or not I believe this is a strong premise. Once Zombies start to infect the animals and humans, water will get infected, which will infect the land which in turn would infect any uninfected animals and before you know it the world is a dry, dead wastland.
On top of that it is likely that a very high percentage of all intellectuals that know how to run things will die, fundementally meaning that we will literally have to start off from square one with all forms of technology and living. So my question is, would there be any point, in your opinion, to surviving?
Just so you know, wether or not this is the case, I would fight till my last breath.
Your's sincerely,
A Fan

A Fan,
I believe that probably our number one asset as a human race is our ability to overcome adversity and survive through unbelievable circumstances. I also believe that when the zombie apocalypse occurs it will be the fault of the so called "intellectuals" because they think they know how to run things. The average everyday "Joe" is going to have a much better chance at starting from "square one" because they are going to be the ones who remember how to survive without a cellphone or computer. They will be the ones who can rip out all of the computers from cars and get them running with good old carburetors. They will be the boy/girl scouts who were taught how the start a fire with sticks.
You ask whether there would be a point in attempting to survive. I say it would be against our better nature to not.

Hey Zombie Master,
This is more of a comment/rant I guess than a question, but you say that 28 days later is not a zombie movie, and it may or may not be, but it is a good movie along the same principal as zombie movies.
I believe there are two main types of zombie movies 1) Obscure - out - of - the - way - place/ cabin/ cemetary/ prison/ forest/ whatever-bloodbath type and 2) Post-Armageddon/virus/nuclear holocaust - fight - to - survive - Mayberry - is - destroyed type. Maybe these are just different popular movie plots, but both tie closely in with many zombie movies.
Personally I enjoy zombie movies where the whole world is destroyed and a few remaining people have to maneuver their way through this insanity grabbing M16s and raiding convenience stores living on whatever they can find, all the while fighting off flesh eating undead - scared shitless - but with a new renewed hardcoreness because they don't have to work at Home Depot anymore and get to mow down zombies and actually work for a living (HeHe).
I was just wondering if you and other people feel the same way. Is it really a fascination with zombies (don't get me wrong, zombies kick ass), or is it a fascination with chaos, and wanting to see what would happen if the world went to hell, getting drunk the whole time, and thinking about what awesome things they would do in that situation (hopefully not getting torn apart alive).
Peace,
Rob, Valdosta, GA
Rob,
You have made some good points and observations that I would like to touch on if I may.
First, I agree with you that 28 Days Later is a good movie. I enjoy a good "end of world" movie as much as the next guy. I believe, however, that the aspects of 28 Days Later that have the same principals as a zombie movie are very similar to the aspects of a zombie movie that have the same principles as a slasher movie. Similar in concept but different in follow through.
Because of this I do believe we are seeing the birth of a new sub-genre; the "not a zombie" zombie film. Only time will tell.
Second, I fear that you are limiting your options a little bit by trying to pigeon hole zombie movies into two categories. Broaden your horizons, take in a bad nazi-zombie movie like Zombie Lake, or a good Troma zombie movie like Redneck Zombies. You don't know what you are missing.
Now if I may wax philosophical, I do not think it is a fascination with chaos. Quite the opposite in fact, I personally use zombie films and horror films as a whole as a release from the every day monotony of life. Society has got us brain washed into thinking that Oprah and Dr. Phil have all the answers to life's questions, and if you don't listen to them you may just end up on Jerry Springer. We have forgotten that real honest to goodness stress actually needs an outlet. I believe that is one of the reasons for the sudden resurgence of horror movies being the cash cow at the theaters. If we all learned to allow our frustrations to be taken out by someone else on a movie screen the world just might be a better place. See, all we need to do is get more people to watch horror movies and the earth will become the Utopia that we have all been yearning for.
Oh, dude, sorry about that. Had a momentary lapse of reason there and had to come back down off of my soapbox.
Anyway, it is always great to talk to a fellow zombie fan.

Zombie Master,
I am stuck on a movie, can you help? A bunch of kids steal keys to a department store then zombies try and finally get in. I think it was out in the 80s, might even be late 70s. Can you help with its name?
George, Dundee USA
Hey George,
I hate it when that happens.
I have to admit that at first I did not take your question seriously. I mean, who doesn't know the answer to this. Dawn of the Dead is the quintessential mall zombie movie.
But after I reminded myself that you probably thought of that yourself, I remembered a movie that was released around 1983/84 called Night
of the Comet. It was a decent little "mid-budget" film that was sort of a cross between Dawn of the Dead and Valley Girl.
I hope that helped.

Zombie Master,
How come you never really see zombies attack animals, like in the Dawn of the Dead remake where the dog is basically ignored. Why do they strictly eat people?
Shane, Bossier LA, USA
Shane,
I truly enjoy the questions that make me think. This is a good one. I even had to break out the DOTD remake to verify my own thinking.
When you watch the DOTD scene in question, at first most of the zombies do not even react but as the dog is crossing the way to go to Andy's there are a few that try for it.
Although more research will have to be done (goody, goody) it is my opinion that the more agile animals are to difficult a meal.
I vaguely remember a case of zombies eating farm animals but humans are probably the easiest to attack because we aren't the smartest of the species. Let's face it, the majority of us would rather try to domesticate a zombie or make sure their "civil liberties" are being protected instead of shooting them in the head and putting them down.
Anyone who is not smart enough to leave a house that tells you it is haunted or decide to split up when in search of a homicidal maniac, in my opinion, is easy pickin's.

Zombie Master,
I have a few quick questions regarding what the "classic" monsters would do during a zombie plague...
1. Would the zombies ignore Frankenstein's Monster? He is technically one of them, or is he? Would they pass him by, or attack?
2. The Mummy: basically same question as above.
3. Could the zombies, with sufficient numbers, bring down King Kong?
4. Would Dracula fare well against the zombies? Would they attack him? I tend to think the Count would actually be able to mind control them somehow? Turn them into his own personal undead army? Thoughts??
5. How long could the Wolfman keep alive against a z-horde? Eventually they'd snag him, or would they? The Wolfman cannot "die."
6. Would zombies attack Jason? He is the zombie equivalent of Superman. Would he start mowing them down, or walk among them unimpressed?
7. It seems the only monster 100% immune to a zombie onslaught would be Godzilla. He would stomp them, blast them with his nuke-breath... In turn, they could not bite through his scaley, armored skin. Or is there a way they'd get through to him. If he ate one, maybe, and became infected? Thoughts?
Thanks.

OK guys, we can't make it a habit of taking the Zombie Master away from important duties (stocking up on canned food, bottled water, guns and ammo, etc.) to answer questions about things that don't exist. But I will tackle this for the sake of brain training in the art of hypothetical reasoning.
1. Frankenstein monster: In the truest sense of the word, not a zombie. The great doctor was looking to create life. The monster is alive in that it needs sustenance to survive and is only limited by the abnormal brain that was placed in him.
2. Mummy: already "undead" just a different form. Real zombies wouldn't care.
3. King Kong: If a big ape can be brought down by a woman and a few biplanes, he doesn't stand a chance against a zombie horde.
4. Dracula: again, already "undead". His superior intellect and power over the weak minded may give him the ability to control them but I just don't think he would care all that much.
5. The Wolfman: Just a blood cursed human. Nothing special. Could be interesting to see what would happen under a full moon though.
6. Jason: Already one. Wouldn't care unless they were drinking adult beverages, smoking the refer, and participating in premarital sex.
7. Godzilla: Please.
Now please, I have a shipment of supplies to put away and I really must get back to it.

Dear Zombie Master,
I love zombie movies and I'm glad I found this site, it's pretty cool.
So I was wondering, what is the best International zombie movie that you can recommend? How are foreign directors different from American directors?
Hope to hear from you soon.
-Ana
Ana,
These are very good questions and any one who knows me knows the answer to the first question. IMHO Lucio Fulci created the best of the foreign zombie films. Zombi 2 is required viewing in Zombie 101 and The Beyond is probably his best zombie film. If you are in the mood to laugh at a absolutely dreadful film, Zombie Lake (I just love this film).
As to your second question, foreign directors have never really cared about the masses. The good ones tend to make a film that they want to see and if it is a commercial success then so be it but that isn't the goal. Here in the states, most of the directors, if they want any kind of national promotion, have to put the commercial viability first.
That is a sad reality but that is one of the reasons why we here try to promote the independent film maker every chance we get. Please stop by the Best Indy Horror page to get our take on just some of the best and spread the word.

Zombie Master,
I'm looking at making a dark short film with zombies in it and I have a few different styles in mind for the visuals, but I was hoping you could inform me of which zombie films would be most helpful in my research of the visuals/ cinematography. I have done some "research", but there are so many zombie films...
The main style I want will be similar to that of Alien with the zombies being hidden in shadows mostly, but I'm also after a bit of a dark and gritty feel with the cinematography to give the feel that the end is night.
Also, I don't have a budget for CGI, so can you recommend any low budget/ indie films as good examples, even some that you had to chance to see that didn't make theatrical release?
Basically any film with a distictive visual style or stand out cinematography would be great.
Thank you,
Cal Wood, Melbourne, Vic, Austrailia
Cal Wood,
I always enjoy helping out when it leads to future horror/zombie morsels.
To begin with, I firmly believe that anyone wanting to jump into the zombie genre of horror must not only watch but study the original b/w Night of the Living Dead. It is the Citizen Kane of zombie films and George Romero is the Orson Welles. The style, the angles, the atmosphere; all lean toward perfection. I would also suggest Zombie Honeymoon and Severed: Forest of the Dead.
One more suggestion if I may. Nothing against the newer films but if you want to get back to the style of film making that relied more on camera angles and less on CGI you may want to look at the works of the early greats. Bava, Romero, Argento, Fulci, etc. didn't have the luxury of Hollywood financing to help tell their story.
I hope this helps and I look forward to seeing the finished product.

Zombie Master,
This is probably a simple question but I haven't seen one like it thus far.
Okay, we all know that the head is the control center for a zombie and that a well placed blow will take it out. However lets say I was to decapitate a zombie, keeping the head intact. Could I possibly reattach the head to the zombie and "bring it back to life"? Or for that matter could I reattach it to another zombie?
Court LeRoy
Provo, UT
Court LeRoy,
A simple question is deserving of a simple answer.
If you were writing a script for the "Return of the Living Dead" series or any of the so called zombie movies made by people who really shouldn't (i.e. Trespassers), then you could play with your idea. Otherwise it goes against the zombie rules laid down by the greats (i.e. Romero, Fulci, etc.). If you want to reattach the severed head of a zombie and try to reanimate it again then you have a Frankenstein film rather than a zombie film.
The main thing you want to ask yourself however is why you would want to do such a thing in the first place. Here we are trying to get rid of as many of these things as possible and you are wanting to bring them back again. That's sick dude. Really sick.

Hello again,
I am again wanting to pick your brain. Stephen King's Creep Show, in the story "Something to Tide you over". What classification would the 2 lovers be after the tide has had it's way with them? As you know they come back for revenge, now are they Zombies or ghosts, they did leave wet foot prints.
Now one more, Creep Show 2 in the story "Thanks for the Ride". Was the man in her mind or was he yet another Zombie trying to prove a point? This makes me wonder yet again is there a water or land classification? Does it matter if a Zombie came from water or land? which would be better?
Nicole Wilmoth
Kingsport TN
Hey Nicole,
I have never had a stalker before. This is kind of cool.
Anyway, in both of these stories, depending on your frame of mind when viewing, can be considered either way. By the basic rules they would be more likely to fit in the "ghost with a grudge exacts revenge" category. I like to think that since Romero had a hand in both then he may have been experimenting with the zombie theme.
As for the land/water question it doesn't matter. In Zombie Honeymoon the zombie that attacks the husband came from the water.
As far as which would be better, I would say the one with a bullet in its head but that's just me.
Aim high and good hunting,
The Zombie Master
