Romero Zombies (shamblers) VS. Rage Zombies (runners)

Ahhh, the great zombie debate.
Many people prefer their zombies slow. Some prefer the fast ones. But does it really matter? Either way, the worlds gonna be fucked up anyway.
For starters, here are the differences between the two.
Romero Zombies
- also known as the shamblers or walkers.
- as seen on George Romero’s zombie movies, Dawn of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead, Day of the Dead, Land of the Dead, Diary of the Dead, and other Romero inspired zombie movies.
Rage Zombies
- also known as the runners or Danny Boyle zombies
- as seen on zombie movies like 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, Dawn of the Dead Remake, REC, Quarantine, I am Legend. also seen on video games like Left 4 Dead and tv shows like Dead Set.
I’m not gonna discuss which one is realistic (lol) or which one is the true zombie. The important thing is we know the end result of the beginning of their existence are the same. People gets infected, everybody turns into flesh eating monsters, fucks up the world, etc.
Whether if its slow, shambling, flesh (or brain) eating monsters or fast, rabies infected, vampire-like monsters, we still end up calling them zombies. Why? Because we are them and they are us. The only difference is we, the living, non-infected humans, still have our humanity intact.
So which one are you prepared for? The slow ones or the fast ones?
I know alot of people have been praying for slow zombies to rule the world. Bunch of wussies. LOL. The degree of tension that both these zombies offer are different. But if you ask me, I’d rather prepare for the worst. I’d rather prepare for the fast ones.
