i've never actually seen a zombie flick where they actually eat brains specifically. i mean it happens incidentally during the rest of ht eating process but they never crack the skull open and go right for it

at the beginning the first couple zombies actually liked eating brains or whatever then when all the new zombies started showing up, they're all like "i'm hungry what should I eat?", see the other zombies eating brains, and then they're all "oh ok I'm supposed to eat brains" and then they go do that. Humans pretty much eat chickens and cows and pigs because that's what you're supposed to do and you're weird if you don't do that and so zombies are probably the same way I guess

Why don't the victims know what a zombie is? Every character in a vampire movie at least has a basic understanding of vampires. Except when they're "different from the stories".

Is there a monster movie where it looks like it's a certain type of monster and people guess that's what it is, but it turns out to be wrong multiple times? "How'd you know rubber balloons were its weakness?" "Man, I was just trying whatever at this point."

I bet it's like when you're eating pistachios, and then all of a sudden you get one that tastes really lovely even though it looks like all the other ones.

I bet it's because the legend of the vampire is many hundreds of years old, and so if people in the "reality" of the movie encounter them it's easy to be like "Oh man, the stories were true!!"

But zombies didn't really exist before John Romero and the '70s, so it would seem dumb if the people in the movie were like "Oh man, these monsters are coincidentally just like those movies!!"

Off topic but what if you were a goth vampire, with full on eye makeup and peircings and the whole spooky goth clothing vibe, and then goth stuff goes way out of style but you're going to exist forever.

That would suck you'd get all depressed I bet. And where would you find your victims if the goth club shut down and reopened as a hip hop venue, do you start wearing cornrows and driving an escalade?

it's a metaphor for modern consumerist society, op. the zombie figuratively "devours brains" by encouraging a state of passive and unquestioning mental apathy, which then is communicated to its nearby victims. this is why a zombie is killed by "shooting it in the head," i.e. through education.

smart people are given a small index card which explains this in elementary school, so that they may more fully enjoy the films that mindless stupid people watch.

only zombies in return of the living dead eat brains and they can't be killed by shooting them in the head you shitlord.
