It can be a type of relief from the pain of death. It can be typical virus behavior, attempting to spread itself to as many hosts as possible. Or a more supernatural explanation, like hell spilling forth to literally consume humanity.
However, there is one universal truth that ( in my experience ) is just as valid as any I’ve heard. Old rotten flesh and cold coagulated blood taste like shit, but fresh meat that’s still warm? Now, that’s the stuff  |
Yeah each movie and story has it's own explanation but symbolically I think what each story implies is that the dead are envious of the living and want to make them "not live" anymore.
It's basically like the dead are thinking "Why did I have to die? I'm taking you all with me!"
That's the feeling I get in every horror movie and story about the undead anyways.
Besides ghosts don't eat people. lol
