Audiences see it time and time again in movies and television shows; the lumbering zombie walks up to one of the characters and is given a decent whack with a bat or stabbed through the head, rendering the zombie “dead”. But is it really as easy to crack or puncture the skull as it can be made to look on the screen? In fact there is a difference in the force needed to crack a zombie skull depending on whether it is a “fresh zombie” or an “old zombie”. After an interview with Forensic Archaeologist Darryl Ricketts at Indiana University South Bend, a lot of insight was given. The main factor that plays into how easy it is to crack a zombie skull is how long it has been decomposing.
