Zombie: Ceaselessly wanders the land, searching for other people's brains to devour
Mummy: Remains ensconced in a comfy pyramid for thousands of years, having no interest even in their own brains which they removed and set aside in Canopic Jars.
Absolutely not the same
But seriously, where did the "zombies love brains" trope come from?
I cant point to a movie or book that specifically targets brains.
Oh wow, never thought to question that, but you're right. In all "serious" zombie movies I can think of, the zombies rather seem to target the guts. I guess it looks better on film than them nibbling away at someone's toes.
I would rather watch the 1999 cinematic masterpiece "the mummy" starring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz
