vicarzIn two days...http://www.dawnofthedeadmovie.net/
So how do zombies know where you are? They don't seem to breathe, being dead, and turn funny colors due to the lack of oxygen. Without oxygen, how are they moving? If they aren't breathing, we can guess they aren't smelling brains. How do they know where the juicy brains are? Is there a human soul in the brain that they are attracted to like cheerios sticking together in milk? How do they know when to stop eating the brains - is there some cutoff between live brains and not-live brains? If you hid from the zombies in a shelter, would they eventually dig their way in? Can they eventually claw through concrete and iron, or do they grind themselves to dust in the process? If their arm is removed, does it continue on it's own, even though it can't eat brains? Do they need to chew the brains, swallow, or just get them in the tummy? If they're dead, does the stomach still engage in digestion? If you remove a zombie mouth entirely with an axe or shotgun blast, do they still seek brains even though they can't eat them anymore? Do they attempt to swim, and if not do they sink or float? Perhaps you could hide from them on an island? How far do they sense brains from? Could you escape zombies just by scraping out a living in the mountains, or would they track you down? Do they just randomly wander around or do they have live-brain radar?
EDIT-OH! They're diseased people, and killing their brain stops them. It's like 28 days! So, that takes me back to the 28 days question - how do they know others are already infected? Why don't they try to infect one another?
Diseased plague folk (not zombies) move faster so more dangerous in the short-term, but are easier to avoid in the long-term. Zombies are killer for just sheer 'will,' though. Remember that half-a-dog that came to life in the lab, and the cadaver banging on the door? The pick-axe? Aw doooooood......

3. I hope to god that they can't dig into a shelter because thats where I intend to hide out from the zombie swarm. Zombies are totally onto that whole "lets hide out in a mall" thing.
4. I think that 80s horror movies have proven beyond a doubt that if a zombie arm is removed it will continue moving on its own.
5. You must take into consideration that the typical zombie infestation tends to be pretty apocalyptical due to how fast zombieism can spread so hiding in the mountains may work for a while but eventually the suffling horde would probably find you because there are just so many of them and ,at least in america and europe, mountains tend to be over populated ski resorts and winerys, so it would be the worst thing ever. The shuffling hordes of previously snooty rich people. If you could get a boat, and knew how to sail it, and you made absolutly sure that no zombies snuck on that boat (cause in a horror film scenario if you aren't paranoid then you're just another dumb dead white person) and you could find an island that no people had lived on before, then you'd prolly be safe.
6. I always wondered the same things about those zombies in 28 days later, but managed to distract myself with yummy yummy Cillian Murphy. Mmmm. What a beautiful beautiful man.
7. Yes yes. After 7 years of reocurring zombie nightmares AND after watching pretty much every zombie movie ever I have put some thought into this. Cause I'm a crackmonkey.
