White Zombie (1932)
White Zombie (1932)
Bela Lugosi terrifies in what is widely considered the first feature-length zombie film. He plays a Haitian voodoo master commanding a legion of undead.
Night of the Living Dead (1968)
This glorious gore-fest is the opening instalment in George A Romero's Living Dead series followed by Dawn of the Dead (see below) and Day of the Dead.
Dawn of the Dead (1978)
A clutch of survivors take refuge in a suburban US shopping mall as aggressive, flesh-eating zombies roam.
Thriller (1982)
This 13-minute epic by Michael Jackson was voted the most influential pop music video of all time. Who hasn't tried to recreate those famous dance steps of Thriller after a few glasses of wine?
28 Days Later (2002)
The zombies in Danny Boyle's post-apocalyptic horror aren't the usual lumbering beasts, but as fast as Usain Bolt and with the climbing ability of mountain goats. Gulp.
Shaun of the Dead (2004)
Shaun (Simon Pegg) must juggle surviving a zombie uprising with winning back his girlfriend, Liz. Almost every actor from Spaced has a part in this classy Brit flick.
World War Z (2013)
Partly filmed in Glasgow. Former United Nations investigator Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) helps save the world from a spiralling pandemic. Truth be told, I've seen George Square look far worse on a Saturday night.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
