Quote:

Zombies are the middle children of the otherworldly family. Vampires are the oldest brother who gets to have a room in the attic, all tripped out with a disco ball and shag carpet. Werewolves are the youngest, the babies, always getting pinched and told they're cute. With all that attention stolen away from the middle child zombie, no wonder she shuffles off grumbling, "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha."

TOP 66 ZOMBIE FILMS OF ALL TIME (Part 1)

PART 1: THE BEGINNING
I just finished SFX magazine’s list of “Top 66 Zombie Films of All Time” written by Ian Berriman (and published in the SFX Zombies: The Ultimate Guide special) and I have to say that despite the fact that I hadn’t yet viewed all of the films discussed in his article I didn’t really agree with his opinions of why the films were on his list.  So in the true tradition of Cryptzone.Net I decided that I should put together my own list of “Top 66 Zombie Films of All Time.”  This week I’ll give you the entire list of films and over the course of the next few weeks I will give you my reason why each of these films are on my list.

Now you may not agree with my picks (or where they are placed on my list) so I encourage you all to leave me feedback on where you think I may have gone wrong.  I would love to read your opinions on this as well.
