Last week we explained the basic afflictions of the living dead. Though these guidelines are a good place to start, they are lacking. According to Uncyclopedia, there are about 27 types and subtypes of zombies, but all zombies can fit into one of these 4 categories:
These fellas are going to be your typical, old school zombie. Cracked tibia's and missing limbs often hinder movement. They'll resort to eating mannequins and other human like forms because, as most of their body, their brain has turned to simmering mush.(as seen in Night of the Living Dead)
These zombies maybe slow on their feet but are quick thinkers. They can think outside of the box when it comes to catching dinner a.k.a you. Don't underestimate them. (as seen in Dawn of the Dead)
You may want to put your running shoes on for this breed of flesh eaters. They are out for blood and will sprint to get it. Thankfully they aren't too bright so you can be saved by your brain as much as your brawn (as seen in 28 Days Later)
These are your worst nightmare. They are fast and smart, if they were good looking they would be the the ultimate triple threat. In short, you better bring your "A" game if you want to survive a pack of these zombies. (as seen in Resident Evil 4 and 5 on expert)
Three Rules of Thumb
- The surest way to kill a zombie is a shot to the head ( burning after is recommended)
- If you are bit, you will "turn" eventually
- Never allow hysterical people into your group, they'll only get you eaten.

Let's hope that all the zombies are of the slow variety. Those extra few seconds to aim for a clean head shot will be needed. Not to mention that it will be easier to run when the numbers are too great. I highly doubt that we will have unlimited pistol ammo as portrayed in Left 4 Dead.
my favorite class blog.
This is a great blog idea, and I can't wait to see where you go with this over the course of the class! I really liked the zombie picture that you put in your first post, and I'm sad that you didn't have another zombie "example" picture for this week. Your blog's background is great-looking as well. I'd like to find a way to do that to my blog....
Hey, I was wondering if you could maybe do a post about zombie combat etiquette. Is it a gentleman's sport like fencing? Are there other ways of killing zombies besides shooting them in the head? I only ask because I don't have a concealed weapons permit. Thanks!
No way that zombie combat ettiquette is a 'gentleman's' sport. Zombies have no morals or restraint, and neither should you.
Technically, the only way to kill a zombie is to destroy the brain. Shooting the head is one way to do this, but you can also use blunt objects. But beware; beheading a zombie might seem like a kill, but it's not. The severed head can still bite as long as the brain is intact.
