"When there is no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth"
Well we love eating living flesh and oh my goodness do we ever love brains! I mean we died and kicked the crap out of death just to come back and feast on your skull pie so they must be good, ya know? Most of us are kind slow but what we lack in speed we make up for in numbers. Most people think we hate the living but in fact we wouldn't know what to do ourselves if we couldn't terrorize you guys. Now I know we kinda stink and the meat on our bones is rotting off but cut us some slack we're freaking dead.

Zombies Types
Some of you might wonder exactly what classifies something as a zombie. Well, people's opinions vary, but the most common concensus is that a zombie is any re-animated corpse. You can take this a bit further and say that any re-animated once-dead body part is considered (a) zombie.
Given this, there are conceivably many different types of zombies.
-toxic zombies
Brought back by radiation or chemicals; usually flesh-eating
This is by far the most common type of zombie portrayed in films. Quite often the government has something to do with the 'birth' of these. Watch out for Army trucks with barrels on the back going through your town!
Movie examples: Night of the Living Dead series, Re-Animator, Redneck Zombies
-demon zombies
Re-animated by demon, devil or other evil spirit
Movie examples: Evil Dead trilogy
-voodoo/black magic zombies
Brought back by a houngan or bokor (a voodoo master)
Movie examples: White Zombie
-diseased zombies
Vague type spread by infection, such as by the bite of the Sumatran rat monkey
Movie & Game examples: Dead Alive, Wes Craven Presents Mind Ripper, Resident Evil series
-unsettled zombies
Return because of some unfinished business of some sort, usually revenge or love
Movie examples: My Boyfriend's Back, Creepshow's water zombies, Uncle Sam
-alien zombies
Brought back by aliens; usually to serve them as an aid in taking over the Earth
Movie examples: Alien Dead
-techno zombies
Re-animated by technology; implanting a computer chip in the brain, etc.

-electric zombies
Brought back by a shock from electricity of some sort

We also have a pretty tasty mixed alcoholic beverage named after us.
