but I haven't seen it in decades. I think this may be one of the earliest zombie apocalypse movies, coming several years before the George Romero film. Before that, zombies were not the living dead who ate flesh but were people under a voodoo spell who would do the bidding of spell maker like in the 1943 classic I Walked With A Zombie. By the way, I think the full movie is available on Youtube, cut into 8 parts.

dawn of the dead

think of this

you watched original night of living dead
watch original dawn of dead
original day of dead

then return of livimg dead but know it is a joke and not realy part of that series, just for fun

maybe return living dead 2 is you can stand hokiness, but not much further down that track

land of the dead
diary of the dead
survival of the dead

then the remakes of dawn and day

then shaun of the dead and zombieland for laughs

that would get you through the romero and split offs

some folks love raimi's evil dead movies, not my favs though

But re: Romero...
I particularly liked the Dawn of the Dead because of the mall setting, where I saw the movie for first time.
The remake was worth it, too! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0363547/

I'm not a fan at all of zombie movies ("Shaun of the Dead" was OK), but I think "The Walking
Dead" is among the BEST TV series in quite a while.

I liked the gritty cynicism of the "Mad Max" movies, even though they weren't zombie movies.

On October 14th at 9 pm on AMC, The Walking Dead comes back on for its 3rd season. If you can get the first 2 seasons, enjoy! But, don't blame me when you get addicted to it. You did ask.

I am absolutely addicted to that show.

I've probably seen dozens of off beat, low budget, foreign and obscure ones. Here's a few not so mainstream ones that might be worth looking into. (Trailers below are marginally NSFW)

Dellamorte Dellamore (Cemetery Man)

&feature=share&list=PL99923A3B6CEBACDD
(Italian, though dialog is in proper English)

Nightmare City Trailer

(another Italian cheapo)

kyonyu-dragon (Big Tit Zombie)

(Japanese, English sub-titles)

10 Completely Insane Zombie Flicks
By Cory Casciato
Thursday, September 27, 2012 at 8:08 am

In the world of zombie movies, there are the good, the bad and the really, really weird. More than 600 zombie movies exist, and anyone that's seen even a small portion of them can tell you that most of those are among the really fucking bad. Maybe one in ten are actually reasonably good. To get to that last category, you'll need to dig past the dross that ends up on Netflix Instant Watch and the shelves of the last three Blockbusters on the planet. Do that and you'll discover that about one in fifty is unbelievably fucking nuts; not just garden variety goofy, but mind-staggeringly bizarre. To save you the trouble of sitting through a few hundred terrible films to find this lunatic fringe, we proudly present this list of the most egregiously fucked up entries in zombie filmdom.

#9 is "Attack Girls Swim Team Vs. the Undead", which sounds like RiffTrax fodder...

The choreographed zombie beating to queen makes me laugh thinking about it....zombie kills with the heros throwing LP's....great comedy spoof with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, who are the funniest british comedy duo since Monty Python....
