She says they gave up trying to eat her long ago. So apparently they're capable of learning.

That was a question I had for my wife at the beginning, when they were showing the zombie herd heading for the farm. What happens to zombies if they don't find any live people to chow down on? Do they eventually drop....um, dead?

I always thought of it more as sort of pain relief for them to eat. Like some desire to be part of the living again.

not that there's any direct correlation, but I remember the same thing being said by an actual zombie in one of the return of the living dead. The one that takes place in the cemetary.

Wasn't it 28 Days Later where the "infected" could die of starvation? I liked that aspect of that movie.

Yes, but that's because they aren't zombies in the traditional sense. They are still alive, but infected with a virus called Rage. So yes, if they don't eat, they die.

In World War Z they just eventually rot to the point where they can't move any more. Or something like that.

Click, spoilers for season 3.

You are correct. The zombies in "Return of the Living Dead" only ate the brains. It took "the pain of being dead away" according to one of the zombies captured in the movie.

The same movie where thay crazy chick danced naked on the grave. Pretty hot.

True true.

One of the funnier zombie movies ever. Lots of good stuff. Love the fact that the medical supply guys were named Bert and Ernie.

And wasn't this the first zombie movie where they actually talked?

Probably one of the worst endings too. LMAO

Yep, the only zombie movie with talking zomies. And I agree the ending sucked. Just a way to set up for endless direct to video sequels, of which there a 5 total.

I don't believe I ever saw that one.

Looking back at that movie...it was terribly awesome.

I remember the zombie getting on the radio calling for paramedics. LMAO
