[The Krell]

Great thread! Some interesting points made throughout.In my eyes,a zombie(post Romero) is a creature who has come back from the dead by whatever means and craves flesh.Living flesh.This is an important distinction when discussing rage victims like those in the aforementioned 28 Days Later versus the films that i consider Z movies,like Night of the Living Dead and Re-animator.This is not a rule set in stone or anything like that.Just a matter of personal taste and opinion.I think that unless we are talking about Voodoo Zombies who were often still alive but in a death like state,a Zombie is corpse who comes back to life with a serious need to feed on delicious people beef.As V said a page or two back,this marks the difference between a ghoul and a zombie.
