What are beer goggle zombies? Beer goggle zombies are creatures that aren't
zombies, but if you were really drunk and not able to put together a
logical train of thought, you might mistake them as zombies.
For instance, Frankenstein is not a zombie. Occasionally, people will
suggest that there's a debate whether or not Frankenstein's a zombie.
Frankenstein is not a zombie. If we look at our definition of the modern
zombie, we can see Frankenstein is not relentlessly aggressive; he's just
misunderstood. He wants to make friends. Nobody likes him, he's ugly. He's
not a reanimated human corpse because he's made from a collection of body
parts. Lastly, he is biologically-based, but he's not caused by an
infection. You don't get attacked by Frankenstein and turn into
Frankenstein.
Other beer goggle zombies, Jesus. Jesus is not a zombie. Jesus was not
reanimated, he was resurrected; big difference. He also didn't go around
trying to eat people when he came back. Mummies are not zombies because
mummies are not biologically-based, they're normally based on some kind of
curse, and they're not relentlessly aggressive. Mummies just want their
stuff back. If you leave their tomb or give them back the gem you stole,
they go back to sleep.
Anytime you're looking at a creature and trying to judge whether or not
it's a zombie, it's easy to look at the characteristics of that creature
and figure out whether or not it fits in the mold of a zombie or not. If
it's a demon, if it's a mummy, if it's got a different name, chances are
it's not a zombie.
