Zombie Research Society
We got a couple questions in the mail from a young zombie researcher named Sulley. See his original letter below, and here is the transcription and our response:
“Dear Zombie Research Team-
I love zombies. I have some questions. Who was the first human to get bite? Who was the first zombies? I am five years old and want to know everything I can learn about zombies.
Thank you,
Sulley.”
Hi, Sulley-
Great questions! We’re glad to see that the younger generation has people like you dedicated to zombie research.
Zombies as we know them today first appeared in 1968 in a movie called Night of the Living Dead. It was directed and co-written by legendary zombie filmmaker George A. Romero.
In Night of the Living Dead the first character to be bitten by a zombie and then turn into a zombie is a girl named Karen Cooper. She then goes on to eat her own parents. Gross! Scroll down to see a promotional picture of Karen Cooper from the movie.
We hope this answers your questions. Keep up the good work, and always remember the Zombie Research Society motto: What you don’t know can eat you.
You rock!

This is true. She did kill her mother with a gardening tool
Hello, I have a question.
Has ZRS researched on what are the chances of having an actual zombie apocalypse? Because, according to doctors and scientists there is no virus in the world that would cause a zombie.
And if so, what would cause a zombie?
Under the blog header ZOMBIE SCIENCE scroll down and look for the sub-section: Infection Sources.
That is incorrect. She stabbed her mother with a gardening tool.
What is the objective of the zombie research team?And do you think a zombie outbreak is able to happen or could happen?
Our stated goal is to advance zombie knowledge and respect in the Arts and Sciences. And yes, we think a zombie outbreak can happen. It will never look exactly like it does in movies, books and video games, but the notion that a new sickness could either be discovered or mutate from current pathogens that causes people to go violently insane and attack and kill one another is completely possible.
