Would Zombies Be Fast or Slow?

Max Brooks' book The Zombie Survival Guide, a tongue-in-cheek tutorial for surviving the living dead, notes, “Zombies appear to be incapable of running. The fastest have been observed to move at a rate of barely one step per 1.5 seconds.”

Are zombie fast or slow?

Pop culture has separated the undead over the years into two distinct types: fast zombies, which can sprint after their prey and usually possess superhuman strength, and the more classical slow zombies, which trudge towards you, inevitable, dribbling pieces of flesh in their wake.

Do zombies move slow?

They tend to move slowly (most of the time) and lack smooth, coordinated actions. Yet they don't seem to have trouble initiating movements. In fact, zombies are almost constantly on the move, they never have problems starting a movement (say reaching for a new victim), and they don't stall in the middle of movements.
