Anyone who has talked to me on the subject of horror movies knows that I love the shit out of zombies. They are a great monster in that they aren't fast or strong or smart (but as humans they can learn, which is awesome). I don't really have much else to say about these creatures, so, best zombies. Lets do it.
15. Clairvius Narcisse
If you've seen "The Serpent and The Rainbow," you know the story of Narcisse. Clairvius had allegedly died when he was buried in 1962, but what people didn't know is that he was poisoned to appear to be dead. He was then dug up and served as a semi-comatose zombie servant for the Haitian bokor sorcerer that poisoned him.
14. Der Toten Korps
In the cult classic "Shock Waves," Director Ken Wiederhorn answers the question "what is worse than a zombie" with "nazi zombie." Designed by nazi commanders to pilot U-boats without need to resurface for air, these undead ubermensch take both national socialism and zombies to hilariously cheesy levels of bad taste.
13. Dr. Carl Hill
Dr. Hill is the reanimated head of HP Lovecraft's "Re-animator." Resurrected by Herbert West, who he killed after discovering a convoulted evil plot, he spends a third of the film undead, running around with his own decapitated head in his hands. He also licked a woman and I mean he licks her down there.
12. Selwyn
This happy-go-lucky little kid comes to us from "Braindead" (or "Dead Alive") by Mr. Peter Jackson. "Braindead" is easily one of the best zombie movies and, unsurprisingly, one of the most stomach-churningly gory films ever made. In the third most famous scene in the movie (or maybe fourth), mama's boy-turned-zombie asskicker Lionel Cosgrove chases him around a park where he begins to violently bludgeon the ever-happy wee one in front of a bunch of aghast old ladies.
11. Stubbs
A former salesman, murdered by the father of his lover, rises from his grave in the 50s in the futuristic town of Punchbowl. He proceeds to wreak havoc by building his undead army, searching for his old flame, and using weapons including a detachable hand, exploding organs, and zombie flatulence.
