Your Motivation: Brains....You must eat brains. And intestines. Maybe the occasional arm or earlobe.

Key Characteristics: Slow, dimwitted, decomposing body, appetite for human flesh, fondness for malls.

Typical Dialogue: "Uuuuuunnnnnggggggpppphhhmmmm..."

How to Achieve the Look*: First, die. If you can arrange it so that you're wearing a wacky outfit at the time of death, all the better. Allow yourself to decompose for several months for optimum gruesomeness. Stipulate in your will that you be buried in an area close to a nuclear dumping site so that you'll be awakened when the inevitable spill happens.

The Easy Way Out: Compare prices on zombie costumes

*For macabre entertainment purposes only. Do not try this at home.
