Grandpa, I don't like the word undead. It's chauvinistic. The undead can move, communicate, think. They have DNA, they're made of hydrocarbons, they create entropy. They're just a form of life that happens to look similar to dead humans. So we categorize them as not alive and not dead. But, if the criterion for undeadness is just alive, but looks dead, then we should call anyone over 60 undead! One quality of life is the ability to reproduce. Zombies, vampires, mummies... None of them can do it. Oh my God. That's true of old people too. Are you saying you're undead?! Technically, only grandpa is undead.

Being unable to reproduce, and not wanting to do it with your grandma are two completely unrelated things. So, there’s undead, and “having discriminating tastes.”

Try reproducing and see how quickly Grandma takes you to “really dead”.

Vampires and ghouls reproduce via being a vector of a disease that changes them. Parasitical ones that alter the host to better get at blood or blood and fresh meat.

So technically anyone who dies but is brought back are undead too? If the criterion is dying first that is.

Technically … there’s no such thing as zombies.
