that Italian movie ZOMBIE was pretty scary. Though I guess I will go with Night of the Living Dead as the best one.

FWIW, I read a very good article in Texas Monthly covering the making and aftermath of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Very good read if you get the chance.

The original (1977?) Dawn of the Dead did it for me. Even at age 16, after seeing it, I was looking over my shoulder when walking alone at night for quite some time... then chiding myself for being a girly-man.
The great thing about it was, as scary as it was, it was also funny (if you have a dark, twisted sense of humor like I do..).
The recent remake was OK but.. Zombies don't run, they shamble!

It depends on how you like your zombies.
Slow and rambling or quick and vicious.

"Because the monsters themselves aren't compelling as characters, the zombie film forces the writers and directors to put the emphasis on the really interesting stuff in any movie-- actual human characters and human interaction."
An excellent insight.

The original (1977?) Dawn of the Dead did it for me 1978. :-)

Dawn of the Dead (original) is the ultimate Pennsylvania film. It starts in Philly, ends in Pittsburgh and features a reference to rednecks in Altoona.

The thing as well about Zombie movies, above other types of horror--is that it forces you into thinking along the lines of "What would I do if this was happening...?"
I remember looking at my parents house afer watching the 1st Night of the Living dead and trying to figure out where the most boards would be needed.

Whoever came up with the concept of fast-moving zombies should be sent to Gitmo.
And Shaun of the Dead rocks...

"28 Days Later" was pretty good, though it does violate the slow Zombie rule.
