15 Greatest Zombies 10-6


10. Zombie Dogs

The first Resident Evil was pretty straightforward in its zombie fighting. Zombie to the left slowly shambling? Shoot it. Zombie in the next room slowly shambling? Shoot it. Walk past the windo-OH GOD KILL IT SHOOT IT KILL IT!

The shock of the zombie dogs in RE may wear off after the thousandth time one jumps through a window, but that initial fright is why it made my list.



9. Headcrab Zombies
Headcrabs are like giant ticks, they feed on...something in your head. They also use the head as host bodies for whatever the hell they do. Standard headcrab zombies are slow moving and dumb, like any standard zombie, but with variant headcrabs come variant zombies.

The fast headcrab creates a zombie capable of great speed and agility and resembles a burnt skeleton, as it lacks any tissue or skin or organs. The poison headcrab makes a disgusting bloated, hunched zombie whose body is used as an nest for more poison headcrabs to appear.



8. Redead

Apparently the rest of this list is video game zombies. Redeads are the scariest enemies in Legend of Zelda. Seemingly harmless upright corpses, still as the grave. That is, until you get too close. Then they lift their head up, emitting a ear-piercing scream that stops you dead in your tracks, where they then proceed to skull-fuck the hearts out of you.


7. Zombie Michael Jackson

In the ambitious 15-minute "Thriller" music video, the dead rise to torture Michael Jackson and his girlfriend, then Michael Jackson becomes a zombie and all the zombies dance and it is awesome. Everyone knows that god damned dance and rightly so. If zombies could actually dance, that would totally be how they dance.

Also the Vincent Price rap is one of the most fucking priceless things I have ever heard.


6. Ed

Ed is a crass human being. He is a rude, obnoxnious, lazy, foul-mouthed prick who barely takes a real zombie invasion seriously. But he is one of the most loyal friends you could ever have.

Ed is easily the best character in "Shaun of the Dead," which is why its genuinely sad to see him go. As one of the last three survivors of the Winchester invasion, Ed aids in fighting off zombies until he gets bitten himself.

Favoring to kill a few more zombies than to commit suicide with his last few shotgun shells, Ed used the corpse of a rather large undead bloke to shield himself from the zombies until he passed away peacefully. Shaun eventually found him and, as he couldn't bring himself to kill his old friend, lured him to the shed where is chained up, playing video games, just like old times.
