[@patflynn2379]

I feel Return of the Living Dead was sorely missing from this list. It introduced the brain eating concept. It was the first "fast zombie" movie and gave us insight into what it was like to be a zombie.

[@GrimCryptid]

I love when this movie is given it's due as the first zombie movie to have running zombies. Their mobility and or intelligence is affected by both time and method of death. Those zombies are also horribly overpowered. To the point the third movie they had to give them some weaknesses. Considering head shots were useless, pieces could still come after people as well as animals and insects could be infected, and burning them just made more.

I had to watch "Shaun" about five times before I caught Ed's "We're coming to get you, Barbara!" line, being a reference to Night of the Living Dead. Considering I own both on DVD I felt like a right idiot for not catching it sooner.

[@thedungeondweller]

I had to read your message to get that...

[@DannyDangerOz]

So often when films do a reference like that it's really pointed and obvious. The delivery in Shaun is appropriate to the situation and characters, and in no way echoes the original. It's easy to miss, and a nice easter egg to find later :)

i really liked build up and the character development was quite realistic in #Alive. You could feel for the character, their loneliness and descent of despair while being trapped.

[@aSinisterKiid]

Oooooooooooohhhhhh I found it!!!! The zombie movie that totally did something different and I thought it was hilarious. It's called Aaah! Zombies!! 4 people end up eating contaminated ice cream (Military Goo meant to make super soldiers) at a bowling alley, and they find out shortly after. They think they've become super human and still see themselves and the world normally. But in reality, they have been turned into zombies. And everyone else in the world see's them as gross deformed zombies. But from their own perspective they are still normal people who look healthy and talk to each other. It's a really creative idea and actually a pretty funny film. It's not like a high budget movie by any means, it's definitely a B movie campy story cult classic kind of movie. But it's totally worth a watch.

[@Kageoni187]

Warm Bodies as a well done social commentary about interpersonal connections. With just the right amount of campy hummor. Loved it. Wish you all would put the list items in the description so it would be easier to keep track of the items I would like to check out on your list videos (on all the channels, love all by the way). Thank bunches for the great videos

[@topherwinters]

"American Zombie" really deserves a mention here. A dry wit mockumentary about the reintegration of the 'living deceased' into mainstream society, it definitely was a fresh approach to the genre. It had its fair share of plot holes and loose ends, but they added to the flavour of the filming style, making you acutely aware of the social bias and skewed agenda inherent in most indie documentaries. "We're here! We're dead! Get used to it!"

[@chriscook460]

was so good...more of a drama....such a smart movie.. a must see

[@hamupinhere]

Years ago, after seeing that movie "The 6th Day", the movie didn't quite go where I was expecting it and I offhand mentioned to a friend that it's been awhile since Schwarzenegger had played a tried-and-true villain in a movie (his horrendous performance as Mr. Freeze notwithstanding). So I suggested what about a movie where, for the first half, Schwarzenegger maybe played the hero to a group of survivors, only to be infected by something like a zombie/vampire/whatever midway through and become the main antagonist from that point on for them? I basically had in mind a less-sci-fi, more horror-oriented version of "The Terminator". Anyhow, when I'd heard Schwarzenegger was due to be in a zombie film a few years ago--which ultimately turned out to be "Maggie"--I kinda felt we're almost getting closer to that happening. It could either be one of his best films ever made, or an abominable laughing stock that destroys his career for good.

@@Verrill82 The one where he's coping with loss after the plane crash kills his family? Would you hate me if I said I cracked up throughout most of that movie?

@@hamupinhere that's the one! I get why it made you crack up! 40 years of him playing the wooden action hero makes its hard to take him seriously! I just think he does a good job playing out of his comfort zone. There's so many A-list stars that would struggle to pull off a dramatic roll!

[@garmone0210]

Same!

[@LrDadp]

@Lee McDonald I used to, but well now find it to be a good movie. Sure its has some things that are pretty stupid once you think about it but I don't think it gets dragged to far down because of it.

[@whyme16]

@Lee McDonald its because the movie wasnt all that great but warm bodies was pretty unique because the zombies could become human again and a lot of what made them zombies was their loss of self/humanity. They had lost memory and the only way to get any feel of humanity was consuming human brains where they could relive that persons memories

[@Xylarxcode]

@Lee McDonald No, I fully support you in this. Warm Bodies was NOT my cup of tea at all. To me, it struck me as one of those movies where the concept got taken way too far. Just because something hasn't been done before doesn't mean it should be done. Nor does it mean it will turn out any good. Yes, you can take a concept and turn it on its head by introducing factors that no one has before or by changing some rules. Some of those work out and become great, some of them are stupid AF. This movie, to me, falls in the latter category. You can only stretch a concept so far before you start to lose the essence of what it originally embodied and Warm Bodies takes the concept of a zombie movies and takes into a territory that, in my opinion, renders it unrecognizable from the original concept. 2/10 movie. Hated it to the very core of my being. The only reason it gets as much as a 2 is because I do admire the support of its fanbase for this movie, so it must be doing something right for a lot of people. Not for me, but apparently there is an audience out there for it, so I can't help but have some respect for that.

[@Anthosius]

as much as i'm a fan of 80% of the movies on this list, not one of these beat THE DEAD DON'T DIE. it broke every rule, every wall, every possible logic in the genre. a true masterpiece.

[@MrJaycrow30]

Open Grave, [REC], The Crazies, Cargo, Re-kill, the Cured, Mutant (1984), 28 Days Later, The Girl With All the Gifts, Maggie, Wyrmwood, the Battery, Night of the Living Dead, Night of the Creeps, and Dead Set should be on this list as well. Each are excellent and diverse in their own way! Love Zombies and all things horror!!! cheers from Canada, Ash!

[@stormking989]

Life After Beth is a hilariously funny film. I was in stitches watching the movie and Aubrey Plaza was brilliant as Beth.

[@kidbach]

Of course i ate them. Im an effing zombie. Lol

[@JonLane]

Was hoping "Colin" would be on here - but have to admit, even with its absence, this is a pretty good list.

[@TheRevHouse]

I just recently watched Cargo, it was a different take on the genre that was really good

[@dawolyan13]

Excellent movie!!! Also, Ravenous and Here Alone

[@TheApryl]

I'm so looking forward to all this horror content!

[@justjack5914]

It’s nice to see paranorman on this list

[@MarvelousMatt]

Let's not forget 2015's "Maggie" Arnold was spectacular and heartfelt

[@HeroAntagonist]

Glad to see Pontypool get a mention. One of my favourite zombie films

[@02_Nman]

Not gonna lie, Anna and the apocalypse was a fun watch for me.

[@emava]

"Ravenous" (Canada - 2017) aka "Les Affames"

[@mousetrappingvideos]

I've always passed up Fido when I saw it somewhere, think I'll check it out now.

[@mossyraven6973]

I was pleasantly surprised seeing Paranorman on this list since it feels like a movie not that many people really know about (plus, it's pretty much my favorite movie of all time, so to see it on a list like this made me super happy).

[@hdt540]

Can't believe Maggie isn't on this list.

[@jakealter5504]

I can’t believe that the DoTD remake wasn’t included

[@thomasgellhaus306]

Maggie was a great discovery for me too. Talk about breaking the rules, putting Arnold S. in a zombie movie where he's a loving dad, and it's a drama instead of an action movie? Awesome casting-against-type!

[@lynnevetter]

Whoa, you're not going to mention that Fido has Carrie Ann Moss!? :O

[@KiddNextDoor]

been a zombie film fan since i was a kid, warm bodies is one of the unique concept i ever seen in a zombie film.

[@archon5878]

Pontypool is definitely one of my absolute favourite zombie movies, and I've only met one other person who has seen it! Big F.

[@theangelbelow88]

The Return sounds a bit like Daybreakers, but with zombies.... I must watch 😎

[@sarahbroom1636]

Hellorhighwater88 you should also watch In The Flesh which came out before The Returned, same storyline but it’s a tv series.

[@crystaldietz1037]

I would agree and it’s not as dark as Daybreakers but I thought it was a well done movie. Also In The Flesh is a british show with a very similar idea and a great look at the culture of people coming back.

[@kuramayoko23]

I was expecting "Cooties" to be on here. I'm not disappointed, just surprised. I'll have to check some of these out, save the musical as I hate musicals.

[@tatvela6915]

I saw that movie. I forgot what happens in it. That's how good it was. That's why it's not on this list.

[@mjdunton]

Not enough zombie movies feature a dual rear wheel. It should have made the list for that alone. It is a shame the film just kind of...ends though.

[@kuramayoko23]

Emjay Dunton I think the reason why it just ended was that they were not sure if it would do well as it is very unorthodox for a zombie film. I think they should have left a few things open for speculation though. Leaving things open doesn't always make a film bad, and in this case it probably would have helped it.

[@mrcritical6751]

Cooties came off more depressing than funny for me, those poor kids were just living their lives and enjoying what they liked to enjoy and then suddenly they have their humanity ripped from them and they become ravenous little monsters who devour their parents

[@kuramayoko23]

Mr Critical zombie movies are rarely funny and Cooties was very depressing. But it did have an interesting take on the genre if you ask me.

[@threedog0214]

Oh man, wouldve loved to see "the night eats the world" on here. Basically it follows one man who holds up in an apartment while you watch him slowly lose his sanity as he gets more and more reckless. The use of silence is phenomenal on building the suspense.

[@mekkio77]

Another vote for The Night Eats the World. I love how in the beginning Sam barely talks. Instead, everyone talks around him at the party. Then for the rest of the movie, his is the only living voice we hear again. And I agree, the silence is so unsettling. You find yourself getting jumpy whenever you hear something and it isn't come from Sam.

[@threedog0214]

@@mekkio77 the lack of dialog is awesome bc when ge actually does speak his words feel important, also the movie does a great job on showing complacency with your situation instead of trying to live.

[@kimberlyirving6412]

Thank you! I have a Shaun of the Dead shoulder tattoo done after I spent days crawling through the woods as a zombie in a short film "Unicycle Bastards Kick Zombie Ass". It's still on Vimeo. So many mosquito bites. I love what you are doing with this🤓😈

[@zandergar9729]

"the girl with all the gifts" should have been listed here. that movie was pretty good and different.

[@kimberlykasper1316]

I’m so excited for this channel. And Ash is the only one I can imagine leading us to hell! 😈

[@davidwalker5380]

"Cargo" is an amazing zombie movie about what a father will do to save his child.

[@Galantski]

I'd add the original _Day of the Dead_ to the list, because it has a psycho human villain in Captain Rhodes, a bat guano crazy Dr. "Frankenstein" Logan trying to end the zombie apocalypse by _domesticating_ them, and his crowning success, "Bub", the loveable zombie who Logan tries to reteach such simple tasks as shaving, reading, and listening to a Walkman.

[@abductedbyaliens9425]

Can’t believe “I Am A Hero” Japanese zombie movie isn’t on here. That was pretty interesting and funny!
