** The reason saying the word "zombie" makes the zombies attack whoever said it is that the magic that created the zombies included a [[Franchise/HarryPotter Voldemort-style]] "SpeakOfTheDevil" clause. So every time someone says the word "zombie", they are single-handedly responsible for all the death and destruction that follows, in all of its gory glory.
