Seems like everybody has to follow rules, even Zombies!
On the official Twitter page for The Walking Dead television show is the official zombie rules that will govern the behavior of the undead.
They only have seven rules right now, either Zombies can’t really follow alot of rules or more will be added soon. Anyway here we go
#1 Ability to run is based on the amount of time a zombie has been undead, and how much decay has set in.
#2 Zombies decay but at a much slower rate than humans, and it’s still possible to differentiate between young and old zombies.
#3 Zombies are like lions: if they’ve eaten, you can walk by them without fear, but a pack of hungry zombies will attack you.
#4 The quickest speed of any zombie is a shambling run. see Night of the Living Dead. NO sprinters exist.
#5 Zombies are not dexterous. They cannot pick up or use any items more complex than a rock or a stick.
#6 Zombies have poor eyesight but they do have a strong sense of smell.
#7 Zombies cannot speak but can communicate by pack mentality. The herd tends to move together if they sight food.
The Walking Dead will be on AMC for it’s 90-minute premiere Sunday, October 31 at 10pm EST.
