Reply to Zombies are always seen dripping blood when they get stabbed or shot in the head but since they are dead their heart shouldn’t be able to pump blood by DadIsMadAtMe

There's no way to make zombies work.

They would dehydrate and dry up pretty rapidly. They would run out of energy, regardless of what's making them tick, also pretty rapidly.

They couldn't possibly be strong, they'd be more like elderly cancer patients, doddering on for a few hours before collapsing in a heap, never to move again.

Reply to comment by sics2014 in Most people have never seen a John Wayne movie. by [deleted]

Yeah, my mom was a huge John Wayne fan. Every time I see The Quiet Man (which is neither a cowboy movie nor a war movie, btw) it takes me back to my childhood.

Same with Elvis movies, as the local TV station of my childhood showed Elvis movies every Sunday. They're all pretty much the same movie, but it reminds me of my childhood.
