Here's my big issue: Any zombie film/story that tries to explain zombies using science is completely missing the point.Zombies are at their scariest when you can't understand them. Zombie study is a big part of my story, but more about severing limbs and fucking with the tendons to make machines rather than trying to understand why they became zombies.

this is trueever read Death and Suffrage by Dale Bailey? Best zombie story i ever read and nobody ever explained that shit.
(also they didn't bite people, everyone who died of anything just turned into a zombie for unknown reasons - so see, you CAN mess with the canon. whatever the canon actually is, if you wanna get right down to it the canon OUGHT to be voodoo zombies which is completely different)

I know what you're saying about the voodoo zombies but that was research to validate the stories rather than the other way around.Papa Gede doesn't have much influence outside of haiti.

Zombie canon is what zombie afficionados consider to be canon when it all boils down to itI want people to truly recognise my dudes as zombies.
