Maybe even in cold storage and released. Alternatively, these zombies have super healing powers and wounds are not ignored and left open for cinematic effect. Then again, maybe scars was not quite the right word.
That's something I had not considered. Good one. Perhaps it was very much intentionally dismissed. Makes me wonder if this was not in fact something that escaped from a lab. Creatures that had been 'studied' for quite some time, which may have lead to scaring and bruising. However, the scaring and bruising wouldn't make a lot of sense if they were already dead. Dead tissue won't scar or bruise. Which makes me wonder if they were alive and simply under some outside influence. Confusing indeed.
