31 Days of Halloween: Day #15 … My Top 10 Zombie Movie to Watch

by LifeByWyetha

Welcome back to my 31 Days of Halloween series.  Today is Day #15, and I’m listing my top 10 zombie movies.

Today’s post is about zombie movies, so I’m listing my top 10 ten. Out of all the movie lists I’ve posted there isn’t a single zombie film on any of my lists, because  I thought they deserved their own special post.

Zombie movies border on the real-life threat of contagion (of some sort), and the horde of the dead. From the funny side of these movies, with slow-moving zombies, to track-race zombies, and zombies that talk … there is no way to avoid the apocalypse.

There are hundreds of fringe zombie movies bordering on the strange, to the cult-classic and if you like the gore, there’s plenty to go around.
