minus-squareYoFrodo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up17·2 days agothere are many different types of zombies, and since they arent real theres no ‘single source of truth’ in the 28 Days Later series they are not undead, they are hyper rabies infected people. In some series it a magical or spiritual afflicition (hell ran out of room so the dead roam the earth) In some series its a biological pathogen, so some kind of virus or fungus that takes over the body and is centrally controlling the brain.
