Trivia[]
- Luda bears some similarities with Roger DeMarco from the original Dawn of the Dead. Both characters become infected from zombie attacks, go through the advanced stages of infection for a certain period of time, and then reanimate as zombies before they are killed by other survivors.
- In Roger's case, however, he would have turned anyway if he died from an injury not involving severe head trauma. Both characters are also buried in the mall and are also given memorials.
