ZOMBIES!!! (pt2) "They run HOW fast?!!!"

In the past, zombies were believed to be slow and shambling creatures, inching forward toward their prey at a slow, but dangerous pace.
Such zombies are what i like to call a "Romero Zombie", and are pretty much the staple idea of what a zombie is normally portrayed as in books and movies.

Since the debute of 28 Days Later, zombies have received a sudden and dramatic change. No longer are the zombies slow and sluggish creatures. These zombies have been replaced with new zombies which are stronger and faster, creating a type of "super charged" killing machine.

The remake of John Romero's, Dawn of the Dead managed to use the "Super Zombie" to great effect, creating a chilling and dramatic image as human beings were chased down and eaten with great aplomb rather than just cornered and slowly advanced upon.

Honestly i'd rather face off against the zombies that you can run around if you're careful......

next up: "Sensible People Die....." in Zombies!!! (pt3)
