Return of the Living Dead

Should the series of films (films 4 & 5 are to be aired on the SciFi Channel) also be included in this article? It's closely related to Romero, but I'm unsure if it's created by him; it is afterall heavilly influenced by his series of films, and I think that is enough to include it. Also, are there other "living dead" films that should be included in this listing, or is Return of the Living Dead the only ones to have been excluded?

Fantaco did some Living Dead comics

Fantaco also did some Living Dead comics, to wit:

Odd sentence fragment

"The films' only continuation is the epidemic of the living dead, the situation advancing with each film, but with different characters and even moving the time ahead from the last to the time in which they were filmed despite the world's progression being the only interlocking aspect of the series."

This to me does not feel grammatically correct and I am unsure what it is supposed to mean. 67.164.12.39 22:24, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Romero Zombies

It is undetermined how the dead come back to life whether it's viral, chemical or magical(Vodoo). We only know that if bitten, anybody will turn into a Zombie. Infection can therefore spread really fast to pandemic levels and are hard to contain.

This is inaccurate, not to mention contradicting. Romero Zombies aren't caused by infection. Anyone who dies, whether at the hands of a Zombie or by natural means, becomes a Zombie (if the brain remains intact). There are two explanations given for this in his films. In Night, the recently buried dead (i.e. corpses whose brains hadn't already decayed too much) began to rise around the same time a Venus space probe exploded in the Earth's atmosphere, leading scientists to believe the two events were related and the reanimation of the dead was caused by radiation from the space probe explosion. In Dawn, it was explained that "when there's no more room in hell, the dead will walk the earth." Note that in the remake of Dawn, while the cause of the epidemic is unknown, it is in fact viral and spread by infection, and those who die by natural means do not become Zombies, but this is NOT the way it works in Romero's series. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.18.173.142 (talk) 18:01, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, you know what... yeah, you are right when I think about it now, that's how it happens. I was focused on the fact the you die and become a Zombie when bitten. But yeah, just dying is good enough.--Slamcool 19:35, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Searching "living dead" does not work...

Unless the search is done using upper "D" you get redirected to undead automatically... It's kind of a problem. I mean, this page is good and is worth to be found easily ;)
