Whether they are shambling towards you, or in a full sprint like Carl Lewis on a mixture of Red Bull and Colombian cocaine, dumb as a bag of bricks or smart enough to spring an ambush, the zombie is a powerhouse and a mainstay in not just only American cinema, but all over the world for more than half a century. For that we give thanks to the great George Romero. The 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead was pretty impressive as well.

Doesn't matter how these guys are created. Either its radiation, an ancient virus, or a biological weapon, as soon as the dead start to rise, all hell breaks loose. Governments don't know what to do when the dead starts to walk, and decide to get the hell out of Dodge, leaving the citizens to fend for themselves.

Aside from its numbers, the zombie also can seriously screw with your mind in a form of psychological warfare. As seen in several movies, if a loved one is bit and becomes zombified, their loved ones fail to see the danger until it's too late. Once you're bitten, you're pretty much up shit creek without a paddle. Their signature moan also drives people insane, and also alerts other undead to their position, which is also awesome.

There is only one way to put a zombie down, and that is to destroy the brain. A bullet to the head works best. Decapitating a zombie stops the threat, but the head can still bite.

Regardless, we give mad props to the zombie.

So true. I'm just showing props to the well known version of the zombie. The Infected from 28 Days/Weeks Later doesn't count, since the people are still alive.
