1. Zombies and Shaun of the Dead

2. Although Zombies appeared in movies as early as 1919, many people credit George A. Romero with setting the standard for modern zombies. In the classic movie “Night of the Living Dead,” Romero portrayed zombies as slow-moving, flesh eating corpses. The zombies were invulnerable until someone destroyed their brains or separated their heads from their bodies.

3. Many movies including “Shaun of the Dead”, are based on Romero’s concept of zombies. For the most part, zombies are:
Newly dead corpses reanimated by radiation, chemicals, viruses, sorcery or acts of God
Mostly confined to using blunt objects as cudgels
Human. Although some depictions include zombie animals
Very strong, but not fast or agile
Impervious to pain and able to function after sustaining extreme physical damage
Invulnerable to injury, expect for decapitation or destruction of the brain
Relentlessly driven to kill and eat
Afraid of fir and bright lights.
