I might have to turn in my Zombie Response Unit badge for this but, in Night of the Living Dead doesn’t it mention something about a satelite coming back to Earth and possibly that being the cause… so the Romero-vese isn’t completely devoid of explanations.

I’m pretty sure that was just speculation, which would be in keeping with the consensus on this here thread. I could be wrong, though.
Yeah, Max Brooks had something going with the Zombie Survival Guide–it was a new and creative way to reframe the genre. But that, too, was a little too handy in offering up the explanation of why people rose from the dead, with that Solanum crap.

In the 4th film, Land of the Dead, a man commits suicide by hanging and comes back as a zombie (yet his family is surprised for some reason :dubious: ).

That man from Land of the Dead was from the wealthy part of the city and I assume that he and his family were insulated from the dead world.
