Zombie

There's nothing quite like a good zombie movie. However, don't make the mistake of thinking that all zombie films are the same!
For instance, the zombies in the »Night of the Living Dead« trilogy were simply dead bodies who came back to life for some unknown reason. They had a pack mentality, and fought each other over the entrails of their dead victims. They behaved like ornery geriatric patients, and could be dispatched with a heavy blow or shotgun blast to the head.
In the »Return of the Living Dead« series, however, the zombies were much scarier. They were created by some kind of evil green gas devised by the military, which would instantly turn any dead bodies (or parts thereof) into zombies. These zombies were fast, intelligent, and simply wanted to feast on some fresh, live brains. They were also pretty much invulnerable, unless you could stuff them into a furnace, although in the second movie they learned that the zombies could be killed with massive electrical shock. In my opinion, this sucked.
Then there are the wacky Italian low-budget zombie flicks, which tended to involve flesh-eating zombies rather than brain-eating ones. I don't know a whole lot about this category... not my area of expertise, frank-ly. Perhaps I'll write more after I complete my masters degree in zombology.

Sometimes each of us is a zombie. How many times have you made it to work without really remembering the drive?

The zombie is of course a drink as well as a dead guy (or actually a un-dead guy) who enjoys eating the brains of people who are still alive. A drink with a little umbrella would be nice about now.

they look totally normal. you can't recognize them. you simply can't tell the difference between a zombie and a human being.

Lionel, the bartender at the Caribbean resort hotel's bar, was asked by a woman tourist for a 'zombie.'

He smiled at her and said, 'Do you know how to make a zombie?'

The woman shook her head.

'First,' Lionel replied with a grin, 'Get her drunk.'
