Well I came on this forum because I love zombies. I love zombie games, movies, and books. Though I can say my zombie movie collection is extreamly lacking. So thats why I made this topic for you guys to help me turn my collection around. Here is a list of my collection.

Dead Alive
28 days and weeks later
Georges "Dead" Series
Shaun of the dead

This is about it as you see my collection is a little crap. Though hopefully you guys can help.:drinking:

Hi Betterdayz,

Welcome to ATZ! :)
Yes, you are a little lacking, bless ya! There are 100's more zombie DVD's out there. Whether or not they are any good, is a different matter.
I am surprised you haven't got any of Romero's films as they are what most people start out with! Have a look on the 'classic & not-so classic zombie films' forum (where you have posted) as there are loads of films listed and most with reviews. That's the best place to start.
As for my selection, it's not huge, but it's quality.
All the George Romero films
Resident Evil 1-3
SotD
Wicked Little Things
...to name a few. I can't remember them all as half are at home and half at my uni address!

This is a comprehensive list of zombie movies:
http://www.allthingszombie.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17871

I trimmed it down considerable. The following are zombie movies that are usually well rated by professional and amateur critics, or have had a major impact on the genre. I have not seen them all. I may have eliminated a gem or two, or added in a bad movie or two. I have included movies that are technically “Not a Zombie Movie.” I did add in a couple I personally liked, even though not classics, such as Fido and REC. This can be trimmed further if you eliminate the movies that changed the zombie genre, but may not be the most entertaining viewing experience.

White Zombie 1932
I Walked with a Zombie 1943
Plan 9 from Outer Space 1959
The Last Man on Earth 1964
The Plague of the Zombies 1966
Night of the Living Dead 1968 *****
Tombs of the Blind Dead 1971
Return of the Blind Dead 1973
Night of the Seagulls 1975

The Living Dead at Manchester Morgue is also called Let Sleeping Corpses Lie. That's how it's listed on the big list and I missed it. Nice catch.

Dead Space is sort of zombies. (I won't rant about why I wouldn't call them zombies again... there is already a thread with that.)

The anime series Hellsing has zombies. Decent series to boot.
https://www.animeniacs.com/screenshots/DVD0562/Hellsing6.jpg

There was an anime series tired to the game series Dark Stalkers called Night Warriors: Dark Stalkers Revenge which has all sorts of undead creatures.

Now idk where you draw the line but alot of horror anime stories have Jiang Shi in them. Jiang Shi are the Chinese answer to an undead mythology... also known as hopping ghost or sometimes as hopping vampires because their bodies are too stiff for their joints to bend so they hop.

http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/1/10459/811666-jiang_shi_large.jpg

Personally I count the Jiang Shi... they aren't Romero Zombies but they are slow stiff and generally stupid undead corpses...

When Tales from the Crypt was turned into the cartoon 'Tales from the Cryptkeeper' there was 2-3 episodes which featured zombies in them.

That's was even an action figure to go with it that had the special feature that its limbs could be ripped off though since the series missed it's mark these days the figures etc might cost you an arm and a leg... ahhhh hahahahahaaaa.

http://www.primetoystore.com/Toys%20for%20sale/cryptzombie.jpg

There are a number of channels of fanimated zombies through new grounds. Legendary Frog for example has a collection of Resident Evil animations on to his own. There are also plenty of clay and stop motion zombie shorts on youtube... though these rarely get involved enough to tell a full story. As well as the webseries for Xombie.

If looking a bit closer to the cuff Night of the Living Dead has 2 different production groups putting their animated spin on it.

-Neoflux Productions: Night of the Living Dead: Reanimated is sort of going the patchwork experimental animation route with every few seconds the screen gets passed off to a different artist.
http://www.fatally-yours.com/wp-content/uploads/NoTLDR/Kathleen%20Iwasyszyn%20%28WinCE%29.jpg
-Re: Naissance : Night of the Living Dead is going a bit more traditional with 1 consistent style of animation... even following the tradition of having the design work done in Europe and the majority of the animation being done in Korea/ China.
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PBgt-jz5oEM/SD-iixHuetI/AAAAAAAAKFw/4bZNPu8Q9Jg/s400/zombie.jpg
Both offer very different takes on animation but play it close to the cuff for the story.

So there are some animated reanimated to get you started.
