Scariest Zombies?

[darth los]

Days Zombies. There's not even a close second. GAR even said he didn't consider dawn to be scary but likened the film to a " wild roller coaster ride ".

Original Night zombies are the scariest because with some you dont notice till they are to close to know if they are zombies, so if you are not careful, you are dinner. Agreed.

[fulci fan]

In my opinion, the scariest zombies are Fulci's zombies hands down . Day had the scariest zombies in Romero's films.

Night has the ones that look most like the neighbors sort of situation and that is what I find creepy the most. I think Dawn did well with that too but went a bit different direction that took away from that feel. I think Days zombies were really creepy and great looking, but I just found them to not be as realistic, IMO. Although when I first watched it I was not really taking into account the fact that they had been through more ware and tare since it occured at least (depending on who you talk to and the day of the week) up to a year after the dead rising. I think they are great looking though, but they did not have the lingering creepiness to me.

I gotta join the herd on this one. Day has the best and scariest zombies of all time. No doubt. Followed by Night. The OZ (original zombie).

NONE OF THE ABOVE. The scariest zombies were from Nights of Terror (Burial Ground). BUT as far as Romero zombies are concerned, the zombies in NOTLD were the scariest, especially the Cooper's daughter.

She might definitely be the creepiest but not the scariest. On that note the girl who played her in the remake was much better.

I would have to say Day for me, although Night isn't that far behind. The makeup in Day made the zombies look more realistic while in Night, since it was a black and white film, the zombies just looked creepy. When you see Night in the colourized version they just don't seem so scary anymore

Maybe it's the fact that they can jog after you that pushes them over the top !!

Or the fact that in the colorized version they are green. That's what detracted from Dawn's zombies, imo. The make up sorta looks like some kind of halloween cover up you use on kids to make them look like dracula. In only a couple of instances such as the airport zombie was more than a token effort given to make them look menacing.

[clanglee]

Seriously? Ok then. . . to each his own. But I will admit. . .this dude was scary as hell!!!

This Is the scariest zombie In my opinion. If I have to pick from the GAR series I would go with Dawn.

This Is the scariest zombie In my opinion. If I have to pick from the GAR series I would go with Dawn. You see, to me, Fulci zombies aren't that scary compared to (most) GAR zeds, because they lack that humanity. I like that stark, mirror-like reflection that GAR's zombies have. Now, some can get pretty inhuman looking, but for the most part there is an animus at work when you look at them and, most importantly, when they look back at you. Granted, I have very limited experience with Fulci zombies...
