    One of the strangely saddest scenes in a zombie movie for me is in the Dawn of the Dead remake. The scene where the guy they have been talking to on the roof across from the mall gets attacked and they don't know if he is ok. Then he comes up on the roof to write on the sign. Then he holds it up and it is just smeared with blood and no words. It shouldn't hit me as hard as it does, but it gets me every time.

    My favourite zombie movie moment is from Cockneys vs Zombies, where the two groups of zombies wearing football jerseys of rival teams start battering each other.

    Probably my favourite zombie moment is from an episode of the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy where Billy bakes cursed brownies that causes the dead to rise. But it's literally EVERYTHING that is dead, including a moose that was hunted, a row of sausages (that got eaten by a zombie dog), and a zombie roast chicken that chases them with a grenade

    The "Funeral Zombie" is an interesting one, as Savini revisited the concept in his own remake of Night of the Living Dead in 1990. One thing that would make someone's appearance as an escaped funeral corpse that wasn't done in 1978's Dawn was that funerary garb is often split at the back, especially shirts and jackets. I can't say whether it was budgetary issues or ignorance that lead to the missing of this little storytelling clue in Dawn, but 1990's Night had a zombie right at the beginning stumbling out of his split clothing, marking that zombie a one from a funeral.

    reminds me of my favourite bits from 'world war Z' (the book not the movie) when describing the battle of Yonkers that so many of the zombies are partially/fully naked because their clothes just got ripped or torn as the zombie shambled around, were in medical gowns or just caught with their pants down. not only being a good bit of world building but also the effect it had on the soldiers seeing these naked corpses shambling towards them.

    • @firebeardlongfellow5295
      @firebeardlongfellow5295 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +13

      Another amazing bit of lore/logic in World War Z the book.
      Is when they're in the submersible tracking the underwater undead hordes prowling the worlds oceans.
      They somehow don't really decompose so the bodies are pretty spared albeit undead. But they're all naked due to the saltwater eating away at all of their clothing.
      Along with how weirdly none of the undead really decompose right. They decompose quite a bit, but something with their infection keeps some key parts going for extremely long times.
      Like how the initial charge up north to escape the zombie hordes worked pretty well since the zombies from. Problem is though the freezing only put the zombies on pause, and everyone flooded up there caused rampant starvation/cannibalism amongst the living survivors.
      Even now, in book time period, there are scouts who have to clear common paths dispatching zombies that unfreeze out of the cold. So as not to be bush biters or grass landmines.

    About the zombies learning: Day of the Dead (1985) gets into that a bit, with Bub. He's able to do a few things he "remembers", with some coaching. He's really the highlight of that movie.
    Also, pro tip: 28 Days Later isn't the sequel to the Sandra Bullock movie 28 Days. Lesson learned.

    A lot of this definitely can be applied to other things like Left 4 Dead. Not for the "special" infected like Tanks, Boomers, Smokers, etc., but the special common infected limited to certain levels, campaigns, etc. Things like the hazmat suit zombies are ex-CEDA people, the riot zombies were people trying to contain hordes, the mudmen are what happened to people living in the swamps and bayous, construction zombies, it's all things you'd just think are normal casual variants of zombies.
    And on the topic of The Walking Dead zombies being more decayed as the show goes on, something funny to point out is the logo of the show itself had gotten more decayed and dark and mossy green as the seasons went on.

    The "Tongue Zombie" from Day Of The Dead you mentioned was nicknamed "Dr. Tongue" by Savini and his crew, and was actually just a 'bust", manipulated via puppetry and animatronics. The name is spot on, and is also believed to be a reference to the SCTV character of the same name, played by Jon Candy.

    I don’t recall what title it was, but in a movie, a zombie in a suit is seen from the back, and the suit is cut open at the back like a hospital gown, with his bare ass popping in and out as he shuffles along. This was a zombie from a funeral because the corpse isn’t dressed in actual clothes, but basically an apron that resembles a suit since the body isn’t expected to be moved from the coffin.

I played The Last of Us, and I think it was because I was familiar with cordyceps, I never got scared of the setting. In fact I found the setting to be completely unbelievable. I did like the story, but the Infected always made me laugh at how absurd it was. I saw a few episodes of the show as well and laughed even harder. Especially on how the fungus spread. That episode had me shaking my head on how dumb it was and trying to sound smart.
