Top Zombie Movies

When you think of zombies, what comes to your mind? More often than not, many of you will reply undead corpses, dragging their feet and wanting to kill anyone that comes in their way. True, but there's more to it than that. The excitement of watching a zombie movie, that too in a dark theater is something else. I remember the first time I saw a zombie movie, I was 13 (my parents weren't really keen on letting me see such kinds of movies). And to my own surprise, I didn't really get that scared. Don't get me wrong now, I am not very brave when it comes to watching zombie or horror movies. I get scared and do have occasional nightmares. But now, it hardly seems that scary. And now that I have rambled on and for quite some time now, you must be wondering what's the connection between listing the top zombie movies and my 'encounter' with them.

Truthfully, there isn't any connection; just felt like sharing something with you all. Although let's not ponder over anything else. We are here to find some excellent movies of all time.

Must Watch Movies

I've seen many people trying to search for as many movies as I could in this genre. But, even though this genre is my favorite and I can talk about it all day long, I had to narrow the list to the best ones. There can only be a few classics. So when I list the movies, I am not going to include certain movie titles if they really aren't that great.
