Understanding Kinemortophobia or the Fear of Zombies.

For more than 30,000 years, a giant virus lay frozen in northern Russia. It's the largest virus ever discovered. And it's not frozen any more. Even after so many millennia in cold storage, the virus is still infectious. Scientists have named this so-called “zombie” virus Pithovirus sibericum.

Mary Shelley's monster is not a zombie. Though Dr. Frankenstein uses scientific means to create his creature in Shelley's novel, he's not a reanimated corpse. In fact, he's not a corpse at all, but a collection of body parts stolen from different corpses and brought together to form a single new entity.

Zombies are on the prowl at all times of day and night! They are not nocturnal, they are arrhythmic! And insomniac. They never sleep!
It turns out that becoming a zombie is fairly straightforward. If you stub your toe, get an infection and die, you turn into a zombie, UNLESS your brain is damaged. If someone shoots you in the head and you die, you're dead. A zombie bite kills you because of infection, or blood loss, not because of the zombie "virus."
Yup they do. When they are struck blood sprays out, and in the episode at the water plant Riley says that they shot the massive zombie and it bled from the bullet holes. I think it's mentioned in a few other episodes as well.
Zombies go blind rapidly. The ears and nose may well remain intact, so they probably rely on them before sight, but since zombies act as if they can see while they obviously shouldn't be able to, they'd probably act as if they could smell and hear regardless if they could or not.
In regards to why the zombies feed on brains, there is an official explanation is a quote from Return of the Living Dead's writer and director, Dan O'Bannon, who suggested that the undead felt the need to feed on the brains of the recently living because it somehow made them feel better by easing their pain.
Zombie folklore has been around for centuries in Haiti, possibly originating in the 17th century when West African slaves were brought in to work on Haiti's sugar cane plantations. Brutal conditions left the slaves longing for freedom.
The undead corpses actually trace their roots to Haiti and Haitian Creole traditions that have their roots in African religious customs. According to Haitian folklore, the book Race, Oppression and the Zombie recounts, zombies are the product of spells by a voudou sorcerer called a bokor.
According to Robert Kirkman, the reason the word "zombie" is never said by anyone in The Walking Dead universe is that both the comic book and the TV shows it spawned take place in a world where zombie pop culture was never a thing.
A zombie is a mythical dead person who has returned to life as a walking corpse. Mythical things that have been "re-animated" are called undead, and a group of them can be called the living dead. The Zombie myth came from the Caribbean.
Zombies know not to eat each other because they only eat living human flesh. Once infected and full zombification has taken place, the zombie is no longer alive, so its flesh is not palatable to other zombies.
Take a zombie apocalypse for example.
- Identify the types of emergencies that are possible in your area.
- Pick a meeting place for your family to regroup in case zombies invade your home…or your town evacuates because of a hurricane.
- Identify your emergency contacts.
- Plan your evacuation route.
To get the slightly decomposed look of zombie skin, we use a technique called “stretch and stipple”. Put some of the same latex you used to make a wound on your face with a sponge, and then stretch your skin tight while you dry it with a hairdryer. When it's dry, the latex will wrinkle and give your skin some texture.
Jason Thompson, an artist and zombie fan, has catalogued more than 350 different types of zombies in a massive taxonomy map. There are no solid rules about what makes a zombie.
“They're officially 'Cube Monsters,'” the representative said. “Across Fortnite, we don't refer to any enemies as 'zombies. ' In Save the World, you have 'Husks' and 'monsters' of various names and types.”
