wrap a city with razor wire perimiters at neck height, play load music and watch them (re) kill themselves
I enjoy figthing them everyonce in a horde, but as a rule I think that since zombies have been decomposing or at the very least have rigamortis they shouldnt be able to run quickly
When you think about it, it's almost impossible for a real zombie apocalypse to occur with slow-as-hell zombies. If my grandmother could run away from one, chances are the rest of the world could making the rate of infection not enough to be "apocalyptic."
Thus, fast-moving zombies are "more realistic" than slow-moving zombies. It also makes movies more interesting to watch since any movie featuring slow zombies is either campy or comical, lacking the suspense posed by a real threat to the main characters.

It really depends. The big thing that muddles the whole issue up is that infected/diseased people have become lumped in with the dead coming back to life. Perhaps this is because with advances in modern science, the number of people who believe in ghosts drops whilst the number of people who are scared of some disease turning them into a flesh eating monster has gone up.
Personally, I think that the fast zombies are fun to fight in video games, but slow zombies are more true to classic "zombie" form. If anyone is looking for a great read, check out "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies". Hilarious remake of a boring "classic"

it all depends on what story youre looking at now, zombies were originaly just the walking dead caused by a voodoo curse but since people have become so facinated by them and it seems like everyone wants to add theyre own type of zombie so its hard to say. a zombie appocalpse would be... interesting... to see how people would survive since so many people have become convinced that a zombies will in fact destroy the world and have prepared. anyways this discussion is full of people who have different definitions of zombies.
The idea is a reimagining of the concept: the worlds a lot faster these days so slow zombies aren't as frightening.
Also, having them retain speedy motor skills alows you to add newer science plots onto it

It's amazing that zombies could be made even cooler after 50 years* with something so simple as moving faster.
*I'm not sure how long zombies have been represented in the form that we are referring to, but you get my drift. Didn't Bella Lugosi do zombie movies before Romero?

I prefer the traditional slow movers when it comes to the undead zombies. However, I loved the 28 Days incarnation; at the time, it was a new and pretty terrifying take on the 'zombie' apocalypse (I know that the infected are not technically zombies in 28 Days). That's why it worked so well, it was meant to be an accellerated rabies or something. Now the 'Dawn' and 'Day of the Dead' remakes, on the other hand...
Undead zombies should be slow in my opinion. But the running zombies are a lot more dangerous. I just hope its Romero's version that the zombie apocalypse takes as its frame of reference...

Well, they were "infected" but to all means and purposes they were "zombies".farmerboy219 said:
Just look at Left 4 Dead to get my point.
BTW, fast zombies is way scarier, there were always a portion of sillyness when you are chased by an enemy that ...shuffles forward.
Ok well here's the issue. In movies with fast zombies like 28 days later, they weren't actually zombies, they didn't die then come back. It's kind of like left 4 dead in that it was an infection, kind of like super rabies, that's why the people are like that. So yes, slow zombies make more sense in a ZOMBIE movie. However fast "zombies" make more sense in a movie about an infection. Personally I prefer fast ones, although easier to kill, they just really scare people since slow zombies would really not even be remotely difficult to avoid in a real life scenario.
In a game, no because they're at least a slight challenge to kill. In real life I would rather have an enemy I can just casually stroll away from.
I don't hate em.
"Zombie" covers a kinda large group of enemies nowdays.
The most common of them beeing the slow limbing re-animated corpse, but other stuff such as fast zombies, infected zombies (which isn't re-animated corpses, but infected living people) cursed zombies (like infected) and all sorts of other zombies.
I'm not gonna get angry because someone is using the Z word about other stuff then my favourite kind of zombie.

Depends.
In movies, Dawn of the Dead remake worked really well with fast zombies. Slow zombies work well too, so it's more a matter of the guys making the movie than the type of zombies.
In video games, fast zombies actually work better, because otherwise you could probably just run away from the zombies. I like L4D and it's one of my favorite games, because on harder difficulties, you can fear the zombies purely because of their attack power and speed, not being ridiculously overhealthed or overpowered with weapons.
If the zombie apocalypse would come right now, I would hate fast zombies because.... THEY ARE FAST. They could catch up with me and freakin kill me. So irl, I would prefer slower zombies.
