Each time I see this movie, this part always jumps out at me. I guess the explanation is that Romero hadn't exactly figured out all the rules for his zombie apocalypse, but this zombie was using tools and was pretty quick too.

q: what do zombies have in common with professional wrestlers?
a: the zombies never follow the rules and nobody has ever seen the official rule book.
Good one ha.

LOL.
shareHe's just a more intelligent and energetic specimen than most. In Dawn you have two zombies that can run and one who uses a crowbar to break a window, and in Day and Land you have zombies figuring out how to shoot guns.

No because
1. Zombies arent real so people can write whatever they want about them
2. This was like the first zombie movie so technically TWD is going against the "rules"
I think I read somewhere that the cemetery scene was one of the last scenes filmed, so by then the ghouls had already been filmed using tools and whatnot to invade the house. I think that they were just following suit, but not really thinking how it would affect the overall storyline. It does seem weird that he would use a rock at the beginning, and then not use anything the rest of the movie.
shareAnother zombie uses a rock to smash the car light out. They could use tools.
shareOh and the girl uses a garden spade
shareAnd even in Dawn it's mentioned about them (albeit in a primitive way) using tools. So it's not exactly something that happened this one time and just never did again, making this one time a strange occurrence really.
shareIf I remember correctly, that was the original zombie as well.
share"Zombie apocalypse" is a term of today. It's stupid.
I will admit that when I saw this movie I thought, "Wow, what a smart zombie. And he's not even rotting yet. What a (dead) guy!" But this was made in '68.
Zombies in Resident Evil '96 were slow and dumb. Zombies in the House Of The Dead series ('96 again) are fast, and smart, and use weapons to try and kill you.
There doesn't have to be any "rules." Who's rules? The stupid Walking Dead's?
"God made man. Then he rested. And on the 8th day, God created George O'Brien."
After the first zombie smashed Johnny's head on the tombstone, I wonder why he didn't try to crack Johnny's skull and eat his brain? Instead, he went after Barbra.
shareThey pick things up and use them in Dawn of the Dead as well.
