When it’s a quarter after 1 in the morning, all you want to do is get something to eat and then go to bed. You’re probably tired, or have been out partying, or whatever. Nobody really wants to be out and running around at that time of night, and you definitely don’t want to be mistaken for a zombie and beaten up.
However, that’s what happened to one man in Iowa City, Iowa on Sunday morning. After ordering dinner, a man came up to him, called him a zombie, and then punched him in the face twice, breaking his nose and sending him to the hospital. Because in all those living dead movies, the best way to stop a zombie attack is to punch him in the eye. When pressed for comment, the victim of the assault groaned out, “Brains!”
Maybe the attacker didn’t accuse the other guy of being a zombie, but rather the Zombie. As in, Rob Zombie. After seeing what he did to the Halloween franchise, he can’t have endeared himself to too many horror fans.
