Board 8 > Where did the myth that Zombies devour "braaaaaaaains" come from?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Pretty much all the zombie movies that established the genre focus on them devouring every single part of the human, not the brain specifically. And furthermore I've never heard zombies in any movie moan "braaaaaaaaaains" or any other word for that matter. They just kind of moan "uuuuuughg" if anything at all. Or growl.

well braaains is easier to say than liiiveerrr.
and zombies going heaaaart would probably just be gurgling.

There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out

It was probably Return of the Living Dead. The cliche of zombies crying out for brains most likely started there.

That was the first movie to do so, so this is probably correct.

But Return of the Living Dead is soooooooo bad. And its an anomaly in the genre

This topic is so awful that it makes my head hurt.

"It is important that supporters and everyone at the club remembers that the cannon on the chest is more important than anybody."

Zombies are a fictional entity. They are a concept. They do not exist. Myth implies false belief of a concept based in truth and reality. Do you see the issue with your concern?
