In theory, since they do not exist, the brains are still alive but heavily impaired.
Whatever is causing the zombification has taken over the brain and shut everything down, except the primal instincts to feed and reproduce. Of course by reproduction in a zombie, I am referring to spreading the zombification through bites.
A Zombie or a ghost
It would be born dead, and a zombie.
no it is a game or fighting movie
No...he is alive!!! New album coming out this year
You eat brains! What do you think?
Then you would come back alive and eat every ones brains (Also Chucky's brains too)
Dead alive
Zombie+human= brains
Oh, dude, like, the zombie could be all like, "I'm dead tired of these fancy clothes, like, can't a zombie just rock some ripped jeans and a t-shirt for once?" Or maybe, "I tried to dress up as a living person, but it just wasn't my style, you know, being undead and all." Just imagine a zombie groaning in a tuxedo, like, "Brains are so last season, I'm all about that formaldehyde now."
Brains..
Impaling a zombie's head on a still lit light bulb, scene from the movie Dead Alive.
Hang out, eat brains, have a staring contest, eat more brains.
