Battle of the Living Dead

[Tullaryx]

With the NCAA March Madness winding down, I thought maybe it was time to try out a quick tourney style with our good friends the Living Dead.

Just post the zombie films you think should be part of the tourney. Pst as many as you want, but ones you think deserve to be in it. I think House of the Dead, Contagium and its ilk are automatically DQed. :)

I'll tabulate all entries and put them into brackets. Whoever wins their bracket moves on to the next round. Let the battle begin!

What is the size of the tourney? 32? 64?

Here are your #1 seeds. Dawn 78, Night 68, ROTLD and *whelp* Day I guess, to respect the opinion of the masses.

Hmm, potential 2 seeds...

Land, Night 90, Dellamorte Dellamore, Fulci's Zombie

3 seeds....

Dawn Remake, Shaun of the Dead, 28 Days Later, Night of the Comet

[Tullaryx]

Will try and go for 32. If we can get 32 films nominated. If not, then hopefully we get at least an even number total of films.

And to try and get more film's nominated just look over what people have already put down and name a zombie film that's worthy of being added to the list. Axlish already mentioned quite a few of the more popular ones. Here's my nominations that axlish didn't mention.

Dead Alive
The Beyond
Dead Next Door
Evil Dead
Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn
Night of the Creeps

[Trioxin245]

Hm, tricky. I've never done anything like this before.

More for the fire....

Let Sleeping Corpses Lie
The Beyond
Redneck Zombies
Hell of the Living Dead :)
Resident Evil 1 & 2
Night of the Creeps
Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things

Lets not forget the Asian contributions

BioZombie
Junk
Versus

[Tullaryx]

So far, we have 27 films nominated. Not bad of a start. We may just end up getting 64 films once the tourney starts.

brain dead.
p.m.a.c: when zombies attack!!!
the serpent and the rainbow (who else thought of this one?)
vampires vs zombies (lol thats such a bad film,lol)


i think theres 3 new ones there.

[Tullaryx]

That makes for 40 distinct titles. If we can get 24 more then we can have a full 64-title bracket battle going. :)

White Zombie
Undead
Burial Ground
Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town
Shockwaves

[axlish]

City of the Living Dead
Plague of the Zombies
Zombie Lake
Return of the Living Dead 2, 3, 4 & 5
House of the Dead (just filling up bracket space here)

[Tullaryx]

If we get more than 64 then I'll follow the NCAA thing even more and take the first 63 and the rest of the bottom feeders we'll have a vote-in poll. if there's 7 films past the 63 mark then those 7 films will do a one time poll to see which gets the most vote to be the final at-large film to take the 64th slot. :)

zombie apocalipse
dead and breakfast (someone has to lose)

[sammaeal]

Children of the Living Dead

Redneck Zombies (I do like this flick though)
The Zombie Army
Zombie 4-After Death

[axlish]

Who is setting up the brackets?

[Tullaryx]

I'll set them up. It should be easy enough to figure out just who should be the 4 top seeds and then work my way down from there. Though I need some suggestions on what the 4 regions should be called. I was thinking maybe they could be called: The Romero Region, The Raimi Region, The Fulci Region and the Jackson Region.

But if someone else have suggestions I'm open to 'em. :)

Living Dead
Zombie
