There is much controversy over the difference between The Undead aka The Living Dead and their Counterparts.
Here I will explain the very definitive difference between the two.
First off, let me say this. In most of the horror films that feature, lets use the term Animated Corpses for a bland term. When a horror film includes this object, they usually follow its birth with a close set of details. These details can be miniscule and hard to point out, but 99% of the time they are there.
Ever since the first horror film was created ( Night of the Living Dead ) there have been many takes and views on them. But if you look closely at the Animated Dead that are portrayed in the film, they are what a proper undeadologist would call, The Living Dead.
The Living Dead are characterized by the following.
- Slow moving, and of very low intelligence.
- Weak, and rigid movements.
Those two characteristics are usually applied to that of the " Living Dead ", it is really about techs when separating them from Zombies.
In Order for the Animated Corpse to be classified as a Living Dead these following things need to have happened.
1) They animated corpse in question needs to have been dead already before the aggression ( Circumstance).
2) A nuclear/chemical outbreak or warfare needs to have happened to infect the soil.
3) Any experiment with a substance on a already dead corpse resulting in its reanimation is now The Living Undead. {Example: From Night of the Living Dead 3, when they are testing on a already decimated corpse. It comes back to life and they coin it " The Living Dead"}
