The Garfield Halloween special. Classic.

Shaun of the Dead ftw! I watched The Ring as well this Halloween, it was quite good and interesting. I do love Hocus Pocus though I remember watching it as a kid. ^^

There is only one Dawn of the Dead and its the 1978 original. How can you put the remake over that? Or haven't you seen the original?

I won't lie, I might not have. Its about the only one I don't specifically remember. I've seen all the Living Dead, and all other regular Dead movies. And about the only one I still think is worth while to this day is the original Night of the Living Dead. What's his face took the Living Dead series in a goofy direction. And Romero is pretty stuck in his ways when he's completely in charge. The remake of Dawn pretty much only had him along for consultation purposes. And I love the idea of sprinting zombies. It means you're boned. That makes them scarier to me. Diary of the Dead was straight up Romero. And I don't put it anywhere near Dawn otD Remake

Just my tastes. Its been years since I saw Shaun of the Dead, I can't even remember specifically why I don't like it anymore. I just remember not liking it. And everyone else raves about it. To each their own. Its not like I'm just some kid that only enjoys new stuff :P I literally grew up on that old stuff and found Nightmare on Elm Street to be more memorable and entertaining and visually and psychologically thrilling and scary than any of the old Dead movies

Funny, cause I would say that the original Night of the Living Dead is the only one I don't care for out of the original trilogy (the Dead series will always be a trilogy to me, I don't care for Romero's new stuff).

I personally feel the fun has been sucked out of the modern zombie movies. Its all jerky camera movements, thrash metal and people running all over the place. If you watch the original DoTD then you'll notice that it had a lot more things going for it than just people running away from zombies. I'd seriously consider watching the original DoTD again if you can't remember it. Most people who watch it agree thats its still the best zombie movie ever made.
