so, they've spent this entire movie fighting walking corpses, and they find a corpse in the basement, and just leave it there??? okay, they deserve whatever they get. #monsterdon #mastoween

combined with the ability to induce rapid ganglion generation all over the body, which would be necessary to sustain coordinated muscle action of eg. a severed forearm, we might be dealing with some kind of teratogenic compound that induces rapid genetic mutations. #monsterdon #mastoween

The zombification gas seems to be relatively immediately effective against corpses, but takes hours to take over a live human host. So maybe there is some immune response that keeps the chemical at bay, or else it has to kill you first in order to induce zombification #monsterdon #mastoween

so the zombie gas must be a chemical, pharmacological agent rather than a biological agent like a virus if it can survive being burned, in a gaseous state, and then take action on contact through rain. that means that it must make use of some innate zombification receptors in the human body that also persist long after death, or induce some rapid mutation or activation of the genome to induce zombification, rather than contain its own DNA/RNA programming. #monsterdon #mastoween
