when it comes to monsters no creature has captured our collective imagination more than the zombie reanimated dead a metaphor for our times and the perfect guilt-free target for a video game shooting spree but not all zombies are created equal Donald Bell and in this top 5 i'm counting down my personal list of the best types of zombie starting off at number 5 supernatural zombies raised from the dead not by play or science but by sorcery this is the og zombie the voodoo zombie before they were brain eaters the word zombie describes someone whose mind was controlled by witchcraft it's not as gross or bloody as modern zombies but a still scary throw back to simpler zombie time I number four fast zombies how does amies get so fast I feel like the reason zombies never ever freaked me out that much was because they were just limping along but now movies like 28 days later and World War Z zombies are faster than usain bolt's hey superfit zombies don't eat me you should head over to olive garden and do some carbo loading got bottomless breadsticks coming in at number three kids amies there's something particularly terrifying and surprising about a zombie kid or better yet zombie babies like half of what Halloween stores are selling these days they're zombie baby lawn ornaments it's a trend that confirms what we all secretly know to be true babies are awful not you're a baby but you know everyone at number 2 Romero zombies in 1968 George Romero brought us night of the living dead and with it the idea of slow cannibalistic monsters that turn others into zombies with our bites the zombies of The Walking Dead and the majority of zombie classics leading up to it are a direct descendant of the Romero zombie but there's still one type of zombie out there that causes even more terror and even more satisfaction when taken out by a shovel my vote for the number one type of zombie goes to flaming zombies whether freshly lip or crispy and smoldering the flaming zombie combines the fear of being eaten alive with the fear of being burned to death what fun so there you go my five nominations for the zombie Hall of Fame for some less gruesome top fives visit top 5 cnet com I'm Donald Bell thanks
