My favorite zombies are the fast moving zombies. These may not represent how a zombie might move in real life due to the science decaying body and deteriorating muscles but then again, it just might because they’re cardio should not be effect them post-mortem. My favorite moment would have to be the kills in the recent movie “Zombieland” with Woody Harrelson. The scene where the old lady pulls a string and drops a piano on the zombies head is very Looney Tunes like and comedic.

I remember tuning into the IFC channel a fee years ago and the movie Dead Alive came on. I suffered through the beginning and was totally justified by the lawnmower necklace scene. That is by far the best zombie kill scene ever filmed!!

“Return of the Living Dead 2” — Toxic (green) fumes flow over the cemetery ground causing awesome zombies to rise from their graves.

I think the most different idea I have seen recently is Empire by David Dunwoody. Death being ticked off at the undead? I mean that idea in itself is classic.

My favorite zombie moment is at the very end of Night of the Living Dead when the last survivor of the night is waking up in the morning and he gets shot because the people clearing out the zombies thought he was a zombie. it was a very Macabre ending if you ask me.

I stumbled on a 2006 New Zealand film called Black Sheep where the zombies are actually the sheep themselves. The best was when people would be bit by them and turn into a human/sheep/zombie monster. Raucously and irreverently hilarious all while being frightening at the same time…great flick!!!

My favorite moment is in World War Z when at the end of one of the stories the reader realizes the army solider was actually talking to an imaginary person the entire time they were trying to escape. That was great.

My favorite part of every zombie movie is the part at the beginning (usually) where the outbreak first begins and no one knows whats going on and everyone is just getting mobbed my zombies.

Ok, I am surprised no one has mentioned the underwater zombie/shark fight scene from Lucio Fulci’s 1979 classic Zombie.

My favorite part is the beginning of Shaun of the Dead were Shaun (Simon Pegg) stumbles around not realizing that the world was overrun by zombies. I imagine that’s how I would be. Totally oblivious for a while. Also, the Doberman Pinscher zombies from Resident Evil, those were some creepy zombie dogs. Nothing is safe from the virus.

The short story “Dead Like Me” took a brief but gruesome look at the depths people could sink to survive. The part where it tells the zombie imitators to avoid looking at mirrors so they won’t have to see what they’ve become was powerful stuff.

The anecdote in World War Z about the infection being spread across continental boundaries by people who received illegal organ transplants (with the organs coming from infected donors).

In the original Night of the Living Dead I’ll never forget the surprise (shock?) I felt at the end of the movie. Here the guy had survived numerous zombie attacks both inside the house and outside during the night. When finally the morning came with people outside killing the zombies and he is shot by one of the ‘saviors’

My favorite memory, by far, is watching Dead Alive, and wondering what exactly just happened before my eyes. I’m one of the hard-core gore people, but i like it realistic, and was utterly confused as to what to think.
