The many types of ZOMBIES in fiction

A bit offtopic for this blog, but, hey, I’m not the only member of Planet Atheism who is a zombie fan. :) I had created this page, Zombie Types, several months ago, and today I updated it a bit. If you want to know the differences between Romero zombies, Max Brooks zombies, Shaun of the Dead zombies, The Walking Dead zombies, Autumn zombies, 28 Days Later zombies and Marvel Zombies, there is no better place in the entire internet. :)

    Haha, I like the Marvel Zombies one.
    Though I do think that I saw this more than a couple of months ago.
    Did you have it somewhere else before?

    No, it was on the same URL. It didn’t have the Marvel Zombies entry yet, that was just added yesterday.

    I’m wondering if adding the Resident Evil 4 “Ganados” (possessed zombie-like humans) might be a good idea. And the Deadites, from the Evil Dead movies. Neither are technically zombies, but then again, I already have the 28 Days Later infected in there… so I’ll probably add those two as well.

    Well, they are “Undead” and IMO you should definitely have the Deadites in there.

    Cool, but I think you’re missing the dreaded Jee-zuhs zombie. He may not eat brains, but he seems to destroy the minds of millions of Christians everywhere.

    Nice list, and count me in as another zombie fan.

    You should add the zombies from Braindead (Dead Alive in the US) by Peter Jackson; those zombies are really hard to kill. If you haven’t seen the film, you need a strong stomach, and a morbid sense of humour. It’s a funny film though.

    Added the Ganados and the Deadites. I haven’t seen Braindead yet, so those will be added later.

    The hardest zombies to kill, from those I know, are the Return of the Living Dead ones. In the movie, they destroy one’s brain, chop him to pieces, and each piece still moves. Then they burn the pieces in an incinerator, the ensuing smoke mixes with the clouds, and then, when it rains on a graveyard, the long-dead corpses rise! Can you say “exaggerated”? :)

    I just bought Dead Rising for the xbox360 and the multiple ways you can kill the zombies in this game is great. Nice OT.
