Exactly

There are two different types of Pop Culture Zombies out there. One was
introduced in the 60's by George Romero in Night of the Living Dead. The
other was put forth in an attempt to make a campy Zombie movie, Return of
the Living Dead. In NotLD the zombies ate human flesh, didn't matter where
it came from on the victim as long as the victim was alive (a very
primordial instinct came out EAT...). In RotLD the zombies craved human
brains and needed them for "comfort" similar to a Vampire's hunger. The
Living Dead in NotLD have almost NO memory, but the ones in RotLD have quite
a bit more and introduce the Intelligent Living Dead. Normally I wouldn't
bring this up but I have had a few brainstorming ideas about the Dual
Natured beings out there... :)
