As long as the zombie has already been awakened, in case other people are reading it from the beginning, and have the same question, I’m going to add the obvious “color film cameras for TV were WAY bigger and bulkier and heavier than B&W back then.” If you couldn’t manipulate the camera as much, you were more limited in the FX you could accomplish.
