But even more annoyingly than that is when zombies don't decay _after_ they're dead you simply don't see skeletons of dead zombies in zombie apocalypse fiction and there's no way that bacteria wouldn't gradually do their thang

Romero specifically disliked how the word "zombie" came to mean his kind of "living dead" because it's an inaccurate use of Haitian folklore, and the word he preferred was "ghouls"

In the original book that inspired the modern "zombie genre", I Am Legend, the undead bad guys were specifically vampires - they're burned by sunlight, repelled by garlic and crosses, the whole shebang It's just this ironic thing that they're a mindless violent horde
