A Different Perspective
Some may argue zombies lack the depth of traditional vampires.
![“They're [zombies] us, you can also have the wrestler zombie, the clown zombie, the Jay Leno zombie and the nun zombie. I've never seen the clown werewolf or vampire. But because zombies are us, at the lowest possible level, they're a lot more versatile for storytelling.” quote by Tom Savini](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/485/tom-savini-42011_clown_they-re-zombies-us-you-can-also-have-the_3090520.jpg)
