that Italian movie ZOMBIE was pretty scary. Though I guess I will go with Night of the Living Dead as the best one.

FWIW, I read a very good article in Texas Monthly covering the making and aftermath of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Very good read if you get the chance.

It depends on how you like your zombies.

Slow and rambling or quick and vicious.

"Because the monsters themselves aren't compelling as characters, the zombie film forces the writers and directors to put the emphasis on the really interesting stuff in any movie-- actual human characters and human interaction."

An excellent insight.

Dawn of the Dead (original) is the ultimate Pennsylvania film. It starts in Philly, ends in Pittsburgh and features a reference to rednecks in Altoona.

The thing as well about Zombie movies, above other types of horror--is that it forces you into thinking along the lines of "What would I do if this was happening...?"

I remember looking at my parents house afer watching the 1st Night of the Living dead and trying to figure out where the most boards would be needed.

"28 Days Later" was pretty good, though it does violate the slow Zombie rule.

This thread needs.. More Zombies!

Can't start a thread about zombie movies without a zombie pic!

I thought "28 Days later" was really weak and derivative. In the very beginning the hero wakes up in a hospital to general devastation. This conceit was was lifted whole from a 60's cult film "Night of The Triffids". The rogue soldiers were cliched beyond belief - are we to beleive that the rest of the world is functioning outside the British Isles but not talking to anybody on the radio? 28 days is a short time for military discipline to fall apart, especially when it was obvious that these creatures were going to run out of steam eventually all on their own. Which they did.

All "28 Days later" did for me was conjure up images of the better movies they stole their ideas from and make me wish I was watching THEM instead.

Fair Play for the Metabolically Challenged!

Zombies may be the perfect metaphor for shambling politically-correct group-thinking Liberals, but unlike Liberals, they are not actually a waste of oxygen.

[freepatriot32]

if you geta chance you absolutley haveto see shaun of the dead a spoof on the genre it is hilarous

[mrsmith]

Zombies are popular because the media constantly hype them.

Hillary!, McCain, Kennedy...

[wizardoz]

28 Days Later is another one. Truly a riveting movie.

Ping.

Blaire Witch Project. Never saw the "witch". Terrified the viewers.
