Do zombies eat brains?
Like most things in unlife, it depends. Romero’s zombies are indiscriminate flesh eaters. O’Bannon’s Zombies are brain eaters (for the analgesic qualities — apparently, it hurts to rot — who’d a thunk?). There is no basis for specific brain hunger in either Voudoun mythology or cinematic history prior to ROTLD. The general consensus seems to be that while horror movie zombies are not gastronomically discriminating, eating brains is funnier.
