Return of the Living Dead is the first time I recall seeing fast zombies. They weren't running full speed but they weren't just shufflers as well. Plus it has the fantastic line, "send...more...cops..." An all around winner.
Another good zombie movie I haven't seen mentioned yet is 2008's Pontypool. A tense little Canadian gem with a terrific performance from Stephen McHattie.
great list! You guys have done it again, you've listed a movie I have never heard of before in The Dead Pit and low-and-behold its on Amazon Prime - so I guess I know how I will spend my evening. Speaking of zombies on a train, Horror Express (1972) has some great creepy zombies on a train - though they only show up in the five minutes
@@FrightfullyForgotten oh yeah. “Acting” in big bold quotes. And writing. I had issues with it but the zombies were cool and there was a few genuinely creepy moments. Regardless it’s still fun to discover an old horror film.
Jean Rollin's The Grapes of Death.....that Greek one that came out around 2009 called Evil, maybe.?).....Scarecrows from 1989....cemetario del terror 1989 was fun......man...soooo many others! Great vid, btw!
I had heard of Train to Busan for a long time, but didn't watch it till a few months ago. Wow! It's really great. Dead and Buried is such a hidden gem. I had never heard of it, till I was checking out the UK's Video Nasties list. It's fantastic.
Grumpy Andrew has literally just taken the words out of my mouth - a top and hard-to-argue with list. Would also go for Plague of the Zombies and maybe good ol' Bela in White Zombie.
Great list! I know it's too brief to count (and is part of a portmanteau film) but Peter Cushing rising from the grave in "Tales From the Crypt" might be (for me) the scariest and most effective "zombie resurrection" scene in any film.
Always love. A good Halloween episode with you guys. I had to shorten my show because I ran out of time to meet deadline. Love all these choices. I’d throw in the terrible “blood sucking nazi zombies” and “zombie Lake” too for the sleaze factor. Awesome show
I would also like to mention: Mutant II ( aka Night Shadows) (very athmospheric Zombie movie with Wings Hauser) Hell of the living Dead aka Virus (the only movie by Bruno Mattei that I can enjoy) Dellamorte Dellamore aka Cemetary Man (with Rupert Everet) ... serioulsy, whiy did you guys not mention this one Back Zombies aka Demoni (by Umberto Lenzi)
You listed most of the movies I would list, although I will be a bit pedantic here and say that some of these movies aren't really zombie movies, even though I get that they have a similar feel sometimes (28 Days Later comes to mind). One that I would include is Le notti del terrore (aka Burial Ground). It is a bit of a wacko movie, but it is a lot of fun and has a pretty great atmosphere with some cool-looking, albeit cheap, zombies. Not to mention, there is just some weird stuff in this movie you won't see elsewhere. Of course, there is also Dellamorte Dellamore (aka Cemetery Man), which is a delirious flick. It gets so damned surreal as it goes on. It is like a weird-ass dream. I would maybe also throw in Return of the Living Dead 3, which most people seem to ignore. I always thought that one was actually quite good. I know it is different than the first one, but it is its own movie and I think it works well whether as a standalone movie or part of the series. Some of the other movies in the series are just goddamn terrible. Happy Halloween, guys!
Great list! For whatever it might be worth, here are a few more that came to mind when I was watching: Sugar Hill (1974) - PG rated (!) blaxploitation film that is pretty cheesy, but also a lot of fun. Great/unique voodoo-themed zombie designs. I Walked With A Zombie (1943) - No matter what the circumstances really are, when I watch this it always feels like 1 AM in an empty house to me. (Same with most of the "Blind Dead" films!) Burial Ground (1981) - Aside from Fulci’s Zombie this has gotta be my most-watched Italian Zombie film. I can’t really defend how much I love this mess, but I do. Deathdream/Dead of Night (1974) - Directed by Bob Clark the same year that he did Black Christmas and written by Alan Ormsby, (both from Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things), this is maybe only barely a zombie film, but it’s pretty creepy and the subtext (heroin addiction amongst Vietnam veterans) is unique. Kolchak The Night Stalkier “Zombie” episode (1974) - Heh, honorable mention just ‘cause I saw this when I was 5 years old and it totally freaked me out. (I also totally enjoy Corpse Eaters from 1974 (Canadian! Low-budget! Made by a teenager!) but that one is a prrrrrretty hard sell on purely cinematic merits.) Happy Halloween -- thanks for all of the swell content!
Great stuff, gents! "The Serpent And The Rainbow" was a great flick and the cool thing is, Bill Pullman grew up in a town that's 10 minutes from me, and still has a house there he visits on occasion. Funny thing is, I had a job there fresh out of high school, and one day I was hungover as all hell putting things away, and this dude walks in with a beard and a ball cap on and gives me this funny look while he's shuffling around the store. I nonchalantly say "Hi" and proceed with my work like nothing. After he leaves, my co-worker goes "WTF. Hi? That's all you got for that man? That was fucking Bill Pullman." Lol. I never got to live that one down. I didn't even recognize the guy which was surprising for a movie buff like myself.
hahah oh man that story is awesome thanks for sharing. But you'd think the man would like to go about his business unnoticed and not bothered so maybe you did him a favor.
Nice list, guys! A movie left off your list that I feel deserves a nod here- “Shock Waves”! Underwater nazi zombies run by Peter Cushing? Heck, yeah! Great atmosphere and terrific electronic score by Richard Einhorn! 🧟♂️
Shockwaves ALMOST made the list, and maybe it should have, but neither of us are HUGE fans of the movie. Really love all the zombie designs in it and the under water stuff though.
Thanks for another great,entertaining list,but there are two other zombie movies I can think of which I liked and would like to point out to you,although I’m sure you already know about them(this is Frightfully Forgotten after all) Not that they belong on anyone’s top ten list.I just felt people should know about them.they are Flight of the Living Dead(which I think I remember hearing was going to be called Plane Dead,a title I prefer) a movie that is not incredibly innovative or boundary-pushing or anything like that,just fun and well-paced with an enjoyable cast,and finally a t.v. movie from the 70’s called The Dead Don’t Die(not the more recent Jim Jarmusch movie) written by one of the writers that got me into horror,Robert Bloch.Its kind of corny but I think it was meant to be that way as-at least according to what I heard-it was meant to seem like a story right out of the old horror pulp magazines.
I actually really like Dead Snow 2: Red vs Dead. So, call me crazy but I don't understand that little jab at Wes Craven. I like the vast majority of his films from Nightmare on Elm Street to the Scream movies. Even his so called lesser films like Cursed or Deadly Friend (both suffering from studio interference) are very enjoyable and fun watches. Contrast that to lesser Carpenter flicks like Vampires or The Ward which I just find boring and unwatchable. Wes, even when pushed by the studio heads, knew how to make an entertaining film with likable characters. I can't say the same for most other directors
Oh we like Wes Cravens movies for sure, we just like to poke fun. Not a huge fan of anything Carpenter did after Vampires either, and his remake of Village of the Damned sucked. We just find Carpenters movies more hit than miss compared to Wes Craven. We do absolutely love The People Under the Stairs and the Serpent and the Rainbow.
Return of the Living Dead is the first time I recall seeing fast zombies. They weren't running full speed but they weren't just shufflers as well. Plus it has the fantastic line, "send...more...cops..." An all around winner.
Such a quotable movie!
@@FrightfullyForgotten Let's get some light over here...Trash is taking off her clothes again.
I always loved nightmare city .. the one with zombies that came out of the plane and we’re basically impervious to bullets !
Nightmare city is tons of fun
Another good zombie movie I haven't seen mentioned yet is 2008's Pontypool. A tense little Canadian gem with a terrific performance from Stephen McHattie.
You know even though we're Canadian we weren't huge hue on Pontypool, it was not bad, just didn't leave a real lasting impression.
great list! You guys have done it again, you've listed a movie I have never heard of before in The Dead Pit and low-and-behold its on Amazon Prime - so I guess I know how I will spend my evening.

Well if you check out dead pit please try to see past the bad acting haha
@@FrightfullyForgotten oh yeah. “Acting” in big bold quotes. And writing. I had issues with it but the zombies were cool and there was a few genuinely creepy moments. Regardless it’s still fun to discover an old horror film.
Dead and buried is one of my all time favorites. I agree with your list. Keep up the great work sirs. Looking forward to your next review
We are taking a little break in the new year so you might have to wait until February for new reviews. But we got a huge back catalogue you can binge.
Great video guys. I just discovered your channel 2 days ago and have been binge watching your videos, keep up the great work!
Thanks for tuning in. Glad your digging the show. Cheers buddy
Excellent selection boys!
Damn that's a solid list, with some on there that I still have to watch. I'd add Hammer's Plague of Zombies and I Walked With a Zombie.
We actually did consider Plague of the Zombies for the list!
Jean Rollin's The Grapes of Death.....that Greek one that came out around 2009 called Evil, maybe.?).....Scarecrows from 1989....cemetario del terror 1989 was fun......man...soooo many others! Great vid, btw!
Oh yeah I'm sure we missed a whole bunch more
Awesome recomendations.
Hope you get a chance to check a few out.
I had heard of Train to Busan for a long time, but didn't watch it till a few months ago. Wow! It's really great. Dead and Buried is such a hidden gem. I had never heard of it, till I was checking out the UK's Video Nasties list. It's fantastic.
Train to Busan has to be the last great zombie movie.
Grumpy Andrew has literally just taken the words out of my mouth - a top and hard-to-argue with list. Would also go for Plague of the Zombies and maybe good ol' Bela in White Zombie.

Mr grimsdyke I believe his name was. Yeah that's a great story in that Anthology.. well they all are good
My favorite non-Romero zombie movie is Shockwaves. What's not to love about underwater, Aryan zombies? Very creepy, good legitimate horror from 1977.
Shockwaves is another one that almost made the list!
Happy Halloween🎃🧟♂️
I think everyone will agree RTOLD is a all time favorite. I love spider!
Spider is your favorite punk eh? Not many people mention him.
“ can you dig it baby” lmao 😂
Omega man did a really good job at dating itself hahah.
Another not-very-well-known zombie movie I found mostly fun and entertaining:The Dead Hate the Living.
Oh yeah, thats another good one!
Always love. A good Halloween episode with you guys. I had to shorten my show because I ran out of time to meet deadline. Love all these choices. I’d throw in the terrible “blood sucking nazi zombies” and “zombie Lake” too for the sleaze factor. Awesome show
haven't seen blood sucking nazi zombies!
Return of the Living Dead and Shaun of the Dead would get my vote. ;)
Oddly enough we never really ever got into Shaun of the Dead. Saw it once in the theatres and that was it, lots of folks seem to love it though.
I kick ass for the Lord!
The first time I watched the movie, I almost fell out of my chair I was laughing so hard!
Can't disagree at all when I own 7 out of your Top 10 in my collection. Great job boys, Happy Halloween from Vancity!
Love these zombie flicks forgot to put my favorite one up there, Grapes of Death, it's very cool.
Grapes of Death is a favorite of mine.
I heard the blonde sister in Night of the Comet inspired Buffy the Vampire Slayer, so the film is kind of important for it.
Oh really? Didn't know that. That's pretty cool.
So happy to see one of my faves, Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things, on your list!! How about Cemetary Man, too? Happy Halloween, guys!🎃🍭🍬
Cemetery Man is great too, haven't seen it in years.
I would also like to mention:
Mutant II ( aka Night Shadows) (very athmospheric Zombie movie with Wings Hauser)
Hell of the living Dead aka Virus (the only movie by Bruno Mattei that I can enjoy)
Dellamorte Dellamore aka Cemetary Man (with Rupert Everet) ... serioulsy, whiy did you guys not mention this one
Back Zombies aka Demoni (by Umberto Lenzi)
Was actually gonna put in Hell of the Living Dead last night on VHS, but for some reason it's titled Night of the Zombies

Oh some great 70s schlock on your list there. Haven't seen Corpse Eaters interested in anything Canadian! Thanks for the heads up on that.
I prefer the original title Living dead at the manchester morgue instead of let sleeping corpses lie nice reviews guys
yeah that has a much better ring to it.
Happy Halloween Boys! I'll consume many beers in your honor
Get right ripped my friend.

Haven't seen either of those (have heard of them) thanks for the heads up. Cheers.
No "Lifeforce" or "Dead Heat"? Come on boys...
Well, technically Lifeforce is "space vampires", and yes Dead Heat is pretty good too. We do plan on tackling that one in the new year.
@@FrightfullyForgotten
I beg to differ....

@@Jaydogg222 haha okay there are zombies
i would add 'World War Z'-under-rated!
'28 Weeks Later'-better than the first film
and..'Shaun of the Dead'-a comedy but still a great zombie film
Allot of people seem to like 28 Weeks better than the first film. Maybe we'd have to watch it again, but Shaun of the Dead didn't quite do it for us.
