zombies with facial hair dont exist

[demon_vomit]

i've noticed in almost all zombie movies that all the living dead are clean shaven, why is this? if george romero became zombified would his beard fall off? :evil:

[Gnash]

Do you have any idea how long it takes to apply hair to latex? :evil:

[squidproquo]

I think you've caught on to something. This may be the one way to ensure zombie apocalypse survival.

[zombiekilling101]

ahh the magical world of the movies.

[Zombie Survivor]

I remember seeing a zombie with a full grown beard and mustace in the orginal Dawn of the Dead (there are a few in that movie actually)

Makes sense since none of the zombies used latex since they all looked intact except for some pinkish fake blood rubbed on their faces. Day of the Dead was a different story... tons of latex in that one. :evil:

[Bad Zombie Night]

Maybe all Zombies are former IBMers, or they are associated with the New York Yankees organization. :lol:

Hmmm...
If GAR could make his beard just 'fall right off', that would be quite a feat... David Blaine might be interested in how he pulled that one off. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y152/bzn123/Smileys/Characters/disguise.gif http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y152/bzn123/Smileys/Characters/magician.gif

Yeah, Dawn had quite a few bearded zombies. But that was Dawn. Scruffy, ugly dudes with gross flanelette shirts on. Love the movie to bits, but for a zombie perve, really shit.

[Victor Clark]

I think there were also a couple zombie beards in NOTLD90 as well.

Blades in LOTD had his cheezy mustache.

Off the subject a little, but dosen't he kinda look like Tyler from the Amazing Race?

no, not really... as only women wear makeup. i'm talking about real zombies anyways not hollywood zombies. and the couple i've seen were clean shaven. however in the movie redneck zombies i do recall some of the hillbillys had facial hair.

can we see some pictures of these real zombies.

[Gnash]

I haven't run into many "real" zombies (just a couple really) and none of them had any facial hair... well one of them did have someones scalp hanging from it's mouth and it still had some hair on it... anyway... :evil:

[toe_tag]

'Real' zombies?
Where did you run into those?
I'm curious.
I've only seen footage of 'real' zombies in Michigan.

You are right, but latex doesn't do well with facial hair.

You didn't happen to catch the humor in that did you? :evil:

[dope5tar]

Real zombies?:scare:

[Lian]

lol I can see the title now. Midafternoon of the bearded zombies.

In all seriousness though It make sense to not bother to take that much time to mess with hair and latex for a non key zombie. I'm sure in the mob of DOTD '04 some of them had beards but they were non key members wearing minimal makeup so it makes sense there. Still I would like to see a zombie with half it's face falling off with a beard attached to the flapping skin. Something cinematic about that.

[T-Boy Dallas]

Well a more thematic reason could be that the flesh around holding the hair rots off, and since most facial hair is in the soft tissue: one could argue it just falls out.

But the realistic reason as stated above, facial hair and long hair and latex make up do not mix.

[toe_tag]

You didn't happen to catch the humor in that did you? :evil:
Ditto.... :P

[Fierce_Track]

Decay relly thats why they dont have hair

[Dr. Foster]

what's this footage of "real" zombies in michigan? I live right in the heart of northwest michigan...I'm concerned.:scare:

[toe_tag]

Don't be concerned - I'm just a looney on a zombie-obsesso forum. *winks*

[Darkness]

"Haitian Zombies come to mind. Like those in 'The Serpent and the Rainbow'."

[B00Ne]

There are a few in Dawn '78 that have crustaches.

[Divided Soul]

There are a few in Dawn '78 that have crustaches.
Also the Zombie that gets his head lopped by the Helicopter in Dawn 78 had a beard

[Darkplush]

Being of the bearded face clan, i decided to see how safe i was from zombification because of my hairy chin and upper lip. some study followed.

Day of the dead indeed has bearded helicopter zombie
serpent and the rainbow has graveyard guy (but he's not really dead)
shaun of the dead has the roadie twins and ed
land has big daddy, blades and santa (although that may be false)
manchester morgue has a couple
dead meat has the hairiest (hang on thats a cow) but vacume cleaner man has a beard and he's not a cow
undead does a good line in tashes

all in all i conclude
dont bother growing a beard to escape it dosn't work

[pimpkilla]

hmm

maybe their hair falls out

and how many midget zombies do we ever see (given return of the living dead) but are there any others?

Facial hair...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v329/NestingSpider/blad-zom.jpg

And more facial hair.

[Darkness]

"We should remember that the hair and fingernails keep growing for a while after death anyway. So most male corpses would have facial hair."

unfortunatly not true, everything stops growing when you die.
However skin loses moisture and shrinks back just showing more of the hair folical and nails. teeth get larger too as the gums retract.

The human body is a magnificent thing but dead is dead.

(darkplush, seeing the magic in the details since 1970 :) )

That tache rocks!:rock:

[Fierce_Track]

just look at my avatar that will explain it

[Fierce_Track]

my zombie in my avatar has hair

[Weapons_Check_Food_Crap!!]

Need I say more, hahahaha

[Boomstick Buddy]

Finger nails don’t carry on growing, it’s the skin rots away to reveal more. Because as there is no intake of calcium, they have no resources to grow.

[Rufus_Cane]

If zombies don't have facial hair then I made a massive error in my costume last halloween!! >.<

Sticks out in my head, The zombie who lost his head on the helecopter had a beard.

Peter Bark in Burial Ground :lol:
He's a scary midget.

[undeadfan]

After death your finger nails and hair continue to grow for weeks!

[May_of_the_Dead]

i never really looked for that before.. but after seeing the "burt reynolds" zombie in "dawn of the dead (remake)".. i'd have to say yeah.. there have been zombies with facial hair.
now, what happens to the zombies in wheelchairs? do they end up being the crawly zombies? or would they magically be able to walk again?

[jockmo42]

Still I would like to see a zombie with half it's face falling off with a beard attached to the flapping skin. Something cinematic about that.

If I'm repeating anyone, please don't beat me, but I heard most of the mob of zombies in DOTD '04 were CG, and copied over, then blurred up and ran at separate times to look different. At least the ones in the huge bird's eye mall shots. So in conclusion, if I were CGing zombies, I would totally forget to give some of them beards or moostachios.

As for May_Of_The_Dead's comment, usually, the disabled have gotten a point in their spinal cord severed or otherwise obstructed, so not many disabled people would walk as zombies.

See, Pain? I went a whole 10 minutes without spamming. Proud of me? :lol:

(The first step is admitting you have a problem.)

Saw this and had to answer since I just saw the movie...

But Return of the Living Dead has a little person. Looked funny when he ran...

[retro zombie killer]

Why aren't there more little people (Midgets) in Zombie Movies? Simple. A Zombie walks up to a little person and bends over to bite the little person and falls over. The little person runs away. That's why little people are not in zombie movies. Its to hard for Zombies to eat or infect little people. Really I don't know why.

[Darkness]

"Ummm.... What do midget zombies have to do with whether or not zombies can have facial hair?" :roll:

[MaxVeers]

i've noticed in almost all zombie movies that all the living dead are clean shaven, why is this? if george romero became zombified would his beard fall off? :evil:

Many of the zombies in the original Dawn had beards. It was the late 70s, it was the thing to do.

[Zerombie]

"Ummm.... What do midget zombies have to do with whether or not zombies can have facial hair?" :roll:

Cause the midget zombie didn't have facial hair either... ANd someone asked about it. BUt the thread is so old. Hope no ones feelings were hurt by it going slightly off topic...

I second that.

A lotta Gents I know don't have facial hair because of work requirements. Mostly Moustaches or goatees or whatever their job lets them get away with. Fashion plays into it as well.

[Zerombie]

Whoa now that I think about it... Looking at DaotD, after being in the mall for however long, those guys always managed to stay pretty well clean shaven. I mean, I think my facial hair would be on eof my last thoughts durin a zed uprising.

[retro zombie killer]

True I thought about it since my last post in this topic and I think that they shave the actor before applying the Zombie make-up.

"You just about have to. Ever tried to apply Latex to a bearded face? It's extremely hard." :roll:

"Not to mention the pain of removing it." :evil:

[retro zombie killer]

Ooch!!!!!:-(

[Zerombie]

Not to mention, now that I really think about it... For the most part, a bearded zombie would look plain goofy.

[Darkness]

"I think the bearded Zombies that look goofy are those with full thick hair. A Zombie would have patches missing, here and there, due to the rotting flesh underneath falling away, and taking the hair with it. It would be sparse, and sit in clumps too." :think:

That's what I was thinking. i got this image of a full beared lumber jack, flannel shirt and all as a zombie.... LMAO. Funny thought it was> Guess you had to been there...

Maybe one day though, they will take a bit more effort into give Zeds a bit o facial hair at least.

I agree. It would look goofy at that. Hopefully they will come up with a way to make Zombies look naturally dead with beards.

How did my home movies leak out?

[retro zombie killer]

So those movies were yours. I figured someone on this board was filming my experiments with the walking dead.:naughty: I hope you kept your distance. These are very ravenous Zombies. Very stinky as well. Peeew. Have to wear a clothes line clip on my nose whenever I work with them.:-(

Maybe. But look at your avator, maybe it can answer your question.
