Actually, as stated, they are "Infected Cannibals," not Vampires.

I still reiterate my point:

If they're running after you and your buddies, you aren't gonna go, "Hey! Look out for the Running Infected Cannibals!"

You're yelling, "Holy ! Look out for the ing Zombies!"


I doubt you'd even say, "Vampires!" I believe "Zombies" would be the nom de guerre, of sorts.

Zombie vampires- now you're talking!

On a zombie vampire do you aim for the head or the heart?

If you use the really traditional definition for zombie, it has to be reanimated by supernatural forces (or specifically a voodoo priest if you're getting really narrow), so corpses brought to life by a virus don't count either.

I still think the things from 28 Days qualify as zombies in the casual definition.

(Although, I would define the things from I Am Legend as "ghouls" myself, at least in the movie. They didn't exhibit zombie-like behavior, but they didn't act much like vampires either, besides the UV thing.)

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

I prefer this definition of a zombie:
A dead rotting thing trying to kill you and eat your brains.

The really fast, skittish zombies.

Like the ones in L4D, but worse.

I mean, how do you expect me to shotgun you in the face if you run at me fast?! Have some respect.

"And what is wrong with their life? What on earth is less reprehensible than the life of the Levovs?"
- American Pastoral, Philip Roth

Oh, Death was never enemy of ours!
We laughed at him, we leagued with him, old chum.
No soldier's paid to kick against His powers.
We laughed - knowing that better men would come,
And greater wars: when each proud fighter brags
He wars on Death, for lives; not men, for flags.

Forever alone

Flaming explosive zombies with laser eyes that can fly.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made.

The running kind.

That's just ... wrong. They'd just fall to bits. It's been confirmed by Meester Zombie-guy himself (George Romero).
