Even in those films, most who die do not come back unless injured by zombies.  The "transmission by injury" trope started with Romero.I will concede, though, that ZA's start is mysterious, including the animation of some long dead.  But again, we don't know if they were infected before burial...incubation times seem to vary, after all.  That they rise after being long buried proves nothing: just being buried 6' down means you're under tons of earth in a coffin, with no leverage.  It would take ages to dig yourself out.  You'd die long before surfacing...conveniently, having time and no worries about death are two quintessential zombie traits.</blockquote>
