    Fast zombies are ridiculous. The dead cannot move quickly. It is entirely unrealistic if zombies are fast in movies.

    Slow zombies. I still get nightmares about those red-headed fast zombies from the GC remake of Resident Evil.

    They could break down doors! You couldn't get away!

    Wow, I thought there would be more disagreement on the subject. Isn't there anyone who wants to stake out the unpopular position? Do leaping, running zombies have a defender on the board?

    The whole point of zombies is the slow, relentless, mindless horde, where the individual element is easy to beat, but the numbers are what eventually get you. If you want fast undead, go watch a vampire movie.

    Zombies are meant to be shootable. They're supposed to wreak tons of havoc on the human race, but ultimately in the end designed to be shot. To combat this they appear in large numbers.

    However, if zombies suddenly get fast that just takes away from the one human advantage- they're much harder to shoot.

    Because I like the way things are, I vote slow zombies for the sake of balance.

    Damn right. Zombies have no business speeding up. The terror comes from their inexorable advance. Fast zombies I can go watch at the mall.

    Well they're slow as in speed, but they're slow in thinking capability as well.

    I'd rather they be slow so I can just run away.

    I love zombies in general. HL2 is a good example of fast and slow zombies. The slow zombies are a pain in the arse when in hordes, while fast zombies are very effective just by themselves. And when i say they're fast zombies, i mean they're fast. They leap from rooftop to rooftop in one level, letting out blood-curdling screams.

    Nothing can compare to the normal speed Hong Kong HOPPING ZOMBIES, which are just invincible. They'll look so ridiculous that you keep laughing, then you'll be defenceless.

    My, those zombies are funny, always laugh my arse off when watching them when they hop and hop and hop. Yet they are kinda scary cause they don't really look dead, just a body with full of white powder and they way they attack humans.

    Any movie that includes East-Asian-style zombies (or vampires..the myths surrounding both creatures seem to overlap a little).
