2. Zombies are one of the few movies monster archetypes that appear (mostly) in hordes. Hordes are ALWAYS cool.
3. Zombies can only feast on live flesh/brains. I salute discriminating taste.
4. The "zombie clinging to last vestige of humanity" gag, i.e. using a fork to eat brains, trying to drive a car, etc. never, ever gets old.
5. Zombies slouch, and that makes me fell slightly more at ease than that broom-up-the-ass Michael Myers.
6. Animal zombies.
7. As an actor, I can honestly say I would like to play a zombie in every role I will ever play. S' ridiculously fun, plus FX makeup is rad/tubular.
8. Even the most out-of-shape person can outrun them, for a while.
9. A reasonably smart, resourceful person can find ways to live among them, due to their slow speed and lack of higher reasoning skills. Which is cool and impresses people, a la-
"So , where do you live?"
"Raccoon City."
"Oh my God! Isn't that dangerous?"
"Nah."
(swoons)
Drawbacks:
Again, zombies are easy to kill- this is why it would suck to be one. Zombies also, if sufficiently numerous, soon present a paucity of ways to kill them. Shooting, stabbing, bludgeoning, exploding, and burning are all fine, but soon you run out of places to go.
