Actually...yeah, uh....that part of NOTLD always interested me. Mostly because of what was suggested and what was unexplained. Clearly the woman was the victim of zombie violence. Or was that rat violence maybe? Well, whatever, but she was still dripping. So whatever happened to her didn't happen too long ago, probably.
Okay. Let's say a zombie got to her and munched on her. Well the zombie isn't around, so it seems to have moved on. One of the zombies you see wandering around outside the house as night falls might have been that zombie, attracted back to the house once again--because of the commotion made by Barbra and the churchyard ghoul.
Kind of creepy to think that the ghoul that killed the woman is lurking around somewhere nearby as Barbra arrives at the house. It's not in the house anywhere, so it's got to be stumbling around in the field somewhere, eating bugs or whatever.
Of course these "maybe" details are surely nothing that Romero and company thought of when they were making the film, but the "reality" the film creates is so convincing that it tends to make me wonder about these little things.
