Default How do you like your zombies?

So the great debate that has raged (well, not really, but it could degenerate into a slap fight at any minute, especially with sickness involved ) for a few weeks has been whether fast zombies are scarier than slow zombies.

So far, the only place we've seen fast zombies has been in the remake of Dawn of the Dead. 28 Days Later didn't have zombies, so it doesn't count.

So I've set up a poll, you can vote only for one vote, so make it count.

LOL Wish I could vote both times here because I have no qualms about them both. Of course, the slow zombies will always be favorites of mine because of Romero's creative leanings on their speed.

Zombies have always been scarier in larger numbers flocking to overwhelm you rather then one on one combat.

That said, I liked the Dawn remake for what it was. Gunn and Synder did a great job with it, much better then I was expecting.

I'll put the slow zombies because of the nostaliga factor of Romero's Night, Dawn, Day, Land but I dissagree on speedy zombies being so wrong. You could have added a poll option for the people liking both versions, numbskull.

Yeah, I could have.





If you want to use your wizardly powers to add a fifth choice of 'both', then be my guest.


I just forgot to add it.

I'd prefer zombies to start out fast and slow down as they decayed.

Weren't the zombies in the first Resident Evil kind of in the middle, not really slow, but not on crack either?
