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
Under the blog header ZOMBIE SCIENCE scroll down and look for the sub-section: Infection Sources.
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?
That is incorrect. She stabbed her mother with a gardening tool.
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.
What is the objective of the zombie research team?And do you think a zombie outbreak is able to happen or could happen?
