Well how do they?

Never explained. Not explained in Day of the Dead either.

there were theories in night of the living dead about radiation from space bringing them back.....i think that would probably be the best explanation of it all

Zilverz
actually a virus that is independant from oxygen is more believable than space radiation

Ok, in the remake, its a virus.... Hence the foreshadowing hospital scene..... but in the original, it was some stupid radiation outer space crap.... That is why i like the remake's story better.... More believable

"WHEN THERE IS NO MORE ROOM IN HELL, THE DEAD WILL WALK THE EARTH."

That quote, taken verbatim, is the only one I noticed present in both movies. I've watched the new version 4 times so far, and the original was my all-time favorite zombie movie--unitl now. The remake knocks the original out of the park. The characters are realistically portrayed, and the zombies were the scariest I've seen. They're dumb as dirt, and not as ingenious as your typical zombie, but they're super fast and strong.
To me, it is obvious that a zombie bite introduces some sort of pathogen into the bloodstream. If it were a radiation leak or some other external type of air-borne virus, EVERYONE who died subsequently would be affected. It also would explain why the pregnant woman's baby was born a zombie--had the baby been born prior to her death, I'm sure it woulda been fine, just as a mother infected with hiv can still deliver a healthy, uninfected child, but her condition prevents her from nursing the baby, or she'll infect the child. The uterine environment is as separate an entity as possible to protect the offspring. So, pathogenic mutation or something like that, I would say. That seems a fairly solid theory to me, and theologically, more satifying that most other possiblities.

I think it's stupid that it's never explained, I like it in ROTLD how Trioxin brings them back, but it's stupid how it brings back skeletons. It's obvious that it triggers a spark in the brain, but skeletons don't have brains, if a skeleton was bought back then its moving the movie into fantasy, which is very stupid......

They came back because I got laid off from a Pittsburgh paint company.
