2) Query for debate - How did Fred the manequin get moved, and who set up the lariat trap that our hero gets caught in? Was this a ploy by the creatures? Or did Will's character move the manequin, set up the trap and then forget about them due to his semi-craziness? I am opting for the latter, but remain unsure.

I'm pretty sure it's the former. The zombie leader did it to catch Will since he did the same to them earlier. But that was one of my big "logic" problem with the movie. Will had just got done recording that they have completely de-evolved at that point and had no human responses anymore. They were pure animals. And yet, when one of them "learned" and set up this elaborate trap, there was no surprise. He didn't seem to notice.
