full rigor on zombies

when a person dies their muscles go into full rigor 24 hours after death, so does this mean a zombie will be stuck for a few hours aa day and night after death? Do you find this valuable?

Again, depends on the type of zombies you are talking about. This has been covered in depth. MOST of the versions of zombies are only thought to die, but in reality only slip into a coma before turning.

So in answer to your question, no.

Rigor starts right after death and by 3-5 hours you are stiff as a board. One of the saddest things I have ever had to do was pick up my German Shepherd after he died to bring him to be cremated. He had only been gone for 2-3 hours and was stiff and cold-no matter how much bad shit I have been through that ranks amongst the worst days in my life. Two years and I am still devistated.

Rigor cycles in through 24 hours and cycles out in about the same time. Constant movement might change that though.
