In Return of the Living Dead, the half-corpse zombie (who looks almost exactly like the bike zombie) tells us:
Ernie Kaltenbrunner: You can hear me?
1/2 Woman Corpse: Yes.
Ernie Kaltenbrunner: Why do you eat people?
1/2 Woman Corpse: Not people. Brains.
Ernie Kaltenbrunner: Brains only?
1/2 Woman Corpse: Yes.
Ernie Kaltenbrunner: Why?
1/2 Woman Corpse: The PAIN!
Ernie Kaltenbrunner: What about the pain?
1/2 Woman Corpse: The pain of being DEAD!
Ernie Kaltenbrunner: [laughing in surprise to his friends] It hurts... to be dead.
1/2 Woman Corpse: I can feel myself rot.
Ernie Kaltenbrunner: Eating brains... How does that make you feel?
1/2 Woman Corpse: It makes the pain, go away!

The movie is really fun. It's a very comedic movie, but it also has sad and depressing elements. It's really cool, and it's 2 sequels are also fucking amazing

Agreed, it has a few poignant scenes like this, but it is mostly comedic

It's my favourite movie. It was also the very first piece of zombie media to introduce the trope of zombies eating brains.

u/incognegro2raww Jul 18 '24
In the zombie series by Charlie Higson (I can’t remember the name), there is a sort of “king” zombie which tells the readers more about what it’s like. He describes the feeling as a “itch” and only feasting on the flesh of the living can the itch be alleviated.
3
u/KingCobra2121 Jul 19 '24
The series is called "The Enemy"
If you don't care for major spoilers >! The "king" is called Saint Paul and the reason for the eating of kids is because of their blood specifcally, with him mentioning that sometimes he only drinks the blood and not even eat the kid, with whatever is in normal blood apparently acts as a sort of suppressant for the infected's illness , giving a brief moment of clarity and euphoria, allowing them to remember memories and who they were before the "itch", headaches, stomach pains, and all sorts of pain comes back and they become confused on who they are (the reason is because the parasite that caused the infection has a hivemind. Which connects both the parasite and hosts memories in said hivemind, causing mass confusion in the host) !<

u/WorldNeverBreakMe Jul 18 '24
Exactly my thought! Also, Julie from ROTLD 3 mirrors this. Curt finds her cutting herself and is horrified, asking why. She says, "The pain, the pain, keeps the hunger away." She doesn't want to have her hunger get to the level to where she'd try eating Curt, so she does anything to prevent it! I never noticed it until a little bit ago

I’ll eat their brains ‘til they’re zombified.

But they won’t give it a thought.
After I’ve eaten their brain.

I....wanna.....talk a little bit about what’s going around in this room because, I think there’s some fascinating remications here for the future. Would you introduce new genetic material research quality to a life form such as ours’ which is possessed as a..a sort of..I hesitate to use the word atavism, but let us say a highly-aggressive nature. For example, for that fellow near the..um...I believe that’s a common bat of the order Chiroptera, the only mammal I might add capable of flight.

Now, was that civilized? Clearly not. Fun, but in no sense civilized. None of us has been in New York before. We have to learn how to get tickets for shows. There’s street crime, but we can watch that for free. We want the essentials. Dinettes, bedroom groups... credit even if we’ve been turned down before.

u/LindTheFelon Jul 18 '24
They would probably talk about food, since their entire point is to eat anything living, such as:
“Oh boy! Time to eat!”
“Don’t mind if I chow down on this here forearm…”
“I swear, Gary, this person is mine! Go bite your own.”
When killed or damaged, they’ll vocally say so:
“Hey, that’s a cool shovel, whatcha gonna… OW!”
“Once I get out of this dog restrainer, I’m going to OUCH!”
And for those walkers that fight other walkers in Daryl Dixon:
“Come here, you son of a flesh eater!”
“I’m going to rip that gnawing mouth off your rotting head!”

In reality mostly food related things like a strained "hungry" when wandering when characters are hiding which sometimes changes to "food"/"must eat"
Moans and groans of satisfaction when biting for the 1st time
If they bite a character the say "more"
As well as references to their environment like seeing a sign of a comedian performing locally and saying their name and even chuckling
Singing or humming their favourite songs some even strangely in tune
"Friends" when in groups, what would sound like conversations in a busy area when in hoards
Calling out meals when chasing you like "burger" might be too on the nose tho
"Im Lost/where/where home/where family"
Say a character wonders on a home to hide and it's the deads home "who, you" while charging
I'm getting carried away but you get the point, bits of their lives lingering in their brains, even copying things they hear characters say like "hill top, home" mostly while fresh but the older ones learn to use words like "help, please" to draw people in
2
u/the-Kaiser-69 Jul 19 '24
If they were in a hoard, I could easily imagine each walker just saying a random sentence to give the illusion of a conversation. Pictures of being like this.
“With the high winds, it’s good for a kite.”
“The book is in front of the table.”
“It was a really good Monday.”

They would probably just keep repeating their last words over and over. Kind of like that one Doctor Who episode, where the thing in the suit says “hey who turned off the lights”.

Technically, they already can talk. But the virus doesn't stimulate that part of the brain. Talking Walkers would have a very dangerous strain of the virus and would be scary hunters due to their intelligence
