Read ‘The Zombie Survival Guide’ by Mat Brooks. True Zombies are infected with a disease, die and reanimate with a mutated infected brain, not a curse or something, are slow and hell bent on achieving a goal (eating other Humans), but the most straightforward way as possible. So technically real zombies should be like Shaun of the dead over there, but they aren’t so easy to kill as you need a solid head shot to kill a zombie.
True, but their feral behavior was pretty zombiesque, though they did start showing signs of sentience. They were like… unevolved vampires. Cromagnula, if you will.
Those emmereffers would definitely be well into the top right corner though.
But I mean, when has there ever been a vampire movie where it was an airborne epidemic? They may be very vampire-like, but given 28 days later, I’d definitely say they fall squarely in the zombie genre.
I second every part of that. The twihards are way off to the left and the L4D are a little smarter than zombieland, i don’t know silent hill and i would put Call of Duty: World at War Nazi Zombies a little slower than zombieland with ghe Hell-Hounds (could be considered) above to the right
Ummm… i really don’t mean to rub you the wrong way BUT, i have read the orginal book “I am legend” by Richard Matheson. and the ‘creatures’ are Vampires, so they aren’t really ZOMBIES… but I guess they could be classified by the dieased and undead, excepted they never died.
I disagree. L4D/2 zombies are about level with Zombieland. “Fast,” in reference to this chart, means a pace of movement faster than the traditional shambling. L4D zombies run full-tilt at you, and the Hunter is even *faster* than you (the slowest can be classified as the Tank, Spitter and Boomer, as they’re at slightly below Survivor running speed). There’s a reason Zoey “calls zombie bull[stuff]”
Maybe replace it by Rec. But the zombies are from the three kinds: undead (the old woman), diseased (a virus), and possessed (the virus is known as “possession”). But actually, they can be dumb, smart, fast and slow. Anyway, you’re screwed.
Oh yeah! I was totally psyched when I saw that. I’m kind of surprised that they consider it a real zombie movie despite its kind of romantic-comedy theme, but it’s an awesome movie, so it deserves to be on here!
Yeah, plus, when Shaun was flipping channels or passing by radio broadcasts and newspapers obliviously throughout the first quarter of the movie, you could catch the words, “mysterious disease” and “deadly plague outbreak” a few times. I think I might have even heard something about a meteor in the very beginning, which could have been the source of the disease.
Hawkeye11, the flipping thru channels part I believe was to make fun of and reference other zombie movies, since there are several references to other movies throughout. Like the part on the news station that said something about rage infected monkeys, yea 28 days later.
Even though 28 days later is NOT A ZOMBIE MOVIE. They were just diseased, zombies are reanimated corpses. It’s a great movie don’t get me wrong, I just don’t like the fact that it’s labeled as a zombie film.
If you look at the legend, it shows ‘Diseased’. In 28 Days Later, the zombies were humans infected with a mutated strain of the rabies virus, making them diseased.
…i didn’t watch past part one of the Andromeda Strain, but i feel that it should be included. I think the diseased would be in the bottom right, Since they killed people and then themselves.
No. The people who become zombies die, and then are reanimated. We see Shaun’s stepdad die in the car, and THEN become a zombie. He isn’t a zombie after he is bitten, just after he dies. Same thing with Shaun’s mom in the pub. She is still herself after being bitten. It’s after she dies and reanimates that she is a zombie.
Foist.
kinda disappointed that they don’t have I Am Legend on here, which would probably be the top-right.
Uh. Yeah. It’s the one I went to look for *first*. Infographic fail.
well they were more vampires than zombies
The author did explicitly call them vampires.
I am Legend did have a big effect on zombie movies and did a lot to promote disease zombies vs undead zombies. Not actually zombies though.

no, in “The Zombie Survival Guide” they wern’t trying to “eat” the humans, but merely bite them and infect them aswell
did you just skip that part or are you slow?

That’s more or less my point. The author calls them vampires, but they resemble zombies enough that you could call them either one.
Wasn’t the tech geek in the Blade 3 trying to work on an airborne anti-vampire virus? Patton Oswalt, I think was the actor.
What about silent hill and Left 4 dead?
Those were the ones i was looking for.
I don’t recognize half of these movie titles.
OH AND TWILIGHT FANS

Zombie Strippers shouldn’t even be on here. That was the worst of all bad movies ever created by man ever.
it should be down in the left bottom
No…. that was Sword of the Valiant.
How can you love cheesy B zombie movies and say Zombie Strippers is junk?!
It was intentionally crappy, which makes it far better than if it were accidentally crappy.
This graph needs Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2.
F**K YEAH.
and also Dead Rising and Dead Rising 2
lets not foret the half life 2 zombies
The problem with Left 4 Dead is that there’s zombies that would be all over the graph.
I disagree. L4D/2 zombies are about level with Zombieland. “Fast,” in reference to this chart, means a pace of movement faster than the traditional shambling. L4D zombies run full-tilt at you, and the Hunter is even *faster* than you (the slowest can be classified as the Tank, Spitter and Boomer, as they’re at slightly below Survivor running speed). There’s a reason Zoey “calls zombie bull[stuff]”
Also, the chart works in generalizations. So, *in general,* L4D/2 zombies would be in the southeast quadrant, close to Zombieland.
I was hoping for House of the Dead too (and two). But like L4D they’d be all over the place, like the little leapy bastards with knives.
I hear that.
Maybe replace it by Rec. But the zombies are from the three kinds: undead (the old woman), diseased (a virus), and possessed (the virus is known as “possession”). But actually, they can be dumb, smart, fast and slow. Anyway, you’re screwed.
I’m pretty sure Quarantine and REC are the same, just one’s in English and the other is in Spanish…
[REC]2
f**king smart fast real life looking zombies.. instant death
Awesome graph! Of course everyone has an opinion, but it’s really the maker’s choice which movies he puts on it.
is that evil dead one a refrence to a song by the misfits?because waht face kinda looks like one of the things from their covers
other way around i believe. most misfits stuff is based off of/inspired by horror movies.
YAY!!!! shaun of the dead FTW!!!!!!
Oh yeah! I was totally psyched when I saw that. I’m kind of surprised that they consider it a real zombie movie despite its kind of romantic-comedy theme, but it’s an awesome movie, so it deserves to be on here!
Shaun is awesome!
I was also thinking about the zombies from Oblivion.
Watching this whiles listening to M1 A1- Gorillaz…. awesomeness
I’m pretty sure Shaun of the dead is actually a disease since the infection can be passed on through a bite.
It’s also people who are dead anyways, I think.
Yeah, plus, when Shaun was flipping channels or passing by radio broadcasts and newspapers obliviously throughout the first quarter of the movie, you could catch the words, “mysterious disease” and “deadly plague outbreak” a few times. I think I might have even heard something about a meteor in the very beginning, which could have been the source of the disease.

28 days later wasn’t zombies, they weren’t dead, or undead, they were still alive, just enraged people
If you look at the legend, it shows ‘Diseased’. In 28 Days Later, the zombies were humans infected with a mutated strain of the rabies virus, making them diseased.
but truly they weren’t intelligent but just crazy and fast
He’s right, whether it was a disease or not it still wasn’t zombies.
It was just rage.
What about High School of the Dead?
not a movie but ….there are zombies in there D: ….
What about the “Thriller” zombies?
They should be in the funky corner…
That top-right zombie looks like a Heavy to me.
Heavy Weapons Zombie. But he’d be about the middle.
…i didn’t watch past part one of the Andromeda Strain, but i feel that it should be included. I think the diseased would be in the bottom right, Since they killed people and then themselves.
I need all these movies now
!
I don’t have any zombie-movies as of now but zombies are awesome XD
I was looking for I Am Legend too lol
I wonder about zombie TV…Trouble is, Angel is the only show I’ve seen that had them…not that I watch a lot of shows though.
What about Fido? I liked Fido.
I think they missed one. George W Bush should be in the dumb and slow corner.
Nitpick: Shaun of the dead should be a square really.
No. The people who become zombies die, and then are reanimated. We see Shaun’s stepdad die in the car, and THEN become a zombie. He isn’t a zombie after he is bitten, just after he dies. Same thing with Shaun’s mom in the pub. She is still herself after being bitten. It’s after she dies and reanimates that she is a zombie.
For the love of god, change Quarantine in [REC]!!!
Slither and Zombies? This wannabe graph is a fail!
Lastest zombie hit is the anime High School of the Dead.
They are dumb and slow, but they are everywhere, worldwide. Nowhere to run…
Am i the only onw who thought of the zombies in Call of Duty: World at war or the Flood in Halo?
where is “i am legend”?i can’t find it in the top wright section…..
Where’s Plants VS. Zombies? >:(
I know right!
Probably like, slow and… i dunno, some of them are kinda smart. Like that final boss. He had a degree, you know!
