Poll: Which zombies do you prefer and why

[Tullaryx]

I am of the school that says All of the above. However, i am only using shamblers and runners in my flick. What?! No demonic, fallen angel who has a beef with God and calls himself Ob?

[Arcades057]

I like the shamblers and here's why... Shamblers are slow and are more like looming, inevitable death (think cancer, AIDS, something like that). Running zombies are like quick death (like car accidents or bullets). A car accident is quick. Cancer is slow and painful. I'm not really afraid of dying in a car accident or being shot; if it happens it'll be over quickly. Cancer I am afraid of. It sucks. That's why I'm afraid of slow zombies.

Big Daddy and his brood went a little over the top, I think. But I enjoy zombies in any form, to be honest, and that's why I voted for 'all of the above'.

[Exatreides]

Dawn 04, when I'm bored I think of zombie situations like what I would do if it happend, (mostly adapt them for writing) The shamblers always seem like the easiest to come up with a plan against, while the runners are the most difficult and ferocious of them, thats what I voted for Dawn 04 runners baby, hells yea.

And finally, someone breaks the GAr shamblers and All of the Above monopoly!

[Andy]

GAR zombies... the original and the best! and 28 days later infected are NOT zombies i also noticed you missed peter jacksons, quite inteligent, almost invincible sex mad zombies off your list

[axlish]

I voted for Return of the Living Dead

[Svengoolie]

You're all wrong! The ultimate zombie of all time is none other than Bernie Lomax!

[brenleyman]

I don't bash on george in any way. He is the father of the flesh eater, but I think some of the greatest zombies were the rage infecteds from 28 days later. The film was well done, and I do enjoy it every time I see it. For those who bash it, shame on you.

[Trencher]

I like the slow stupid and relentless zombies best. Because all monsters should have their own niche. Vampires are imortal and sexy who corupts and destroys. Werewolfs are beasts from the dark that hunts. The zombies niche are that they are the monster anyone could defeat but we don't because we are busy with trying to screw over our fellow humans. Make zombies to powerfull and they are just a regular monster. And why does the braineater zombie have 1984 votes? This thread does not even have that many vieuws.

What?! No demonic, fallen angel who has a beef with God and calls himself Ob? I would love too, if given the chance... adapt the book, The Rising into a film. In fact I would love to do both The Rising and City of the Dead. I enjoyed both of those books for their character development and the stories in general.

I don't bash on george in any way. He is the father of the flesh eater, but I think some of the greatest zombies were the rage infecteds from 28 days later. The film was well done, and I do enjoy it every time I see it. For those who bash it, shame on you. I for one enjoy 28 Days Later, but I always thought that its heavy supporters trying to push its infecteds as the new and improved zombie always seemed out of place. Romero's zombies never needed replacing. All it needed was for someone to take what Romero did and create a good story around it. Zombies have always been scary for the simple fact that they can easily be killed because they're slow, relatively weak and dumb. But killing them is different from getting rid of all of them. One thing that always bothered me about 28 Days Later's infected is the fact that they infect other humans so quickly that it really never should've left the British Isles. Hell, it should've have even made it to the outlying islands. With the slow moving, any death will become one of them type of zombies they can pop up anywhere. Not every death can be accounted for. With all the homeless people and transients in major cities, it's easy to overlook a couple of newly revived bodies which in turn will gradually and exponentially start a new outbreak. That's why they're so scary over the runners and infecteds. It's like the fable of the tortoise versus the hare. In the end, the tortoise wins despite being slow.

I'll go with ROTLD's. Nothings beats indestructible corpses, complaining about screwdrivers going through their heads, seeking brains, sending more paramedics.

[Macabre]

We need more zombies like Tor Johnson, from Plan 9 from Outer Space!

[Trioxin245]

Ha! I remember that movie, Tor scared the crap outta me as a kid. But eh, I don't know. Seeing Zombies dying by an bash in the head and then turns to Skeletons?! Sure, it might even earn an Oscar
