    But seriously, where did the “zombies love brains” trope come from?

    I cant point to a movie or book that specifically targets brains.

        That originated it, but I think the thing that really embeded the idea in the public consciousness was that Simpsons Halloween special.

      Oh wow, never thought to question that, but you’re right. In all “serious” zombie movies I can think of, the zombies rather seem to target the guts. I guess it looks better on film than them nibbling away at someone’s toes.
