Roshiq's vegetarian zombies are awesome! What if it was a plant pollen that turned you, and when you shot them in the head a cloud of this pollen would spray out?
Perhaps a meteor shower of millions of magnetic particles (traveling slow enough not to burn up in the atmosphere) could cause some strange fluctuations in the earth's natural electromagnetic field causing radio wave-like patterns that stimulate the brain stem of the dead. Or even a large extremely magnetic asteroid. And maybe it's not so much living flesh they crave, but oxygenated blood. Hmmmm, well that my up to the minute theory any way.
