I gotta join in on the rabble here, because omitting the Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z is unacceptable. Especially considering you included Land of the Dead, which is, quite possibly, the worst Zombie movie ever made (and certainly Romero's worst). Not even Dennis Hopper could save its idiocy.

I live in Pittsburgh, and I don't know if anyone will call you out on it (and if they have, I haven't bothered to check), but you left the 'H' out at the end. They changed that around the turn on the last century. Good article, though. House of the Dead 2 was one of my favorite games, and the dialogue was hilariously the worst I've ever seen in a game.

I know its been said on here before, but I have to say it again. Not only is world war two my favorite zombie book ever, it is one of the most entertaining books I have read ever. Please, if you haven't read it, go get it right now. On a side note, read Breathers too. Definately not your stereotypical zombie tale but it is fantastic as well.

okay, several comments- *goes into total zombie nerd mode* 1) great article, i love zombies ;D 2) @ninja killR- yes, where WAS world war z? 3) SO... MANY... GEORGE A. ROMERO... FILMS... 4) anyone else a fan of 'roasted'? because, per 28 days later, they're NOT ZOMIBES, they're THE INFECTED!!! 5) I know stupidly want a remake of stubbs the zombie on 360 6) resi wasn't AN influence for SOTD, it was THE influence (the film was based of an episode of 'spaced'(my favourite show. ever.) where tim(played by pegg) gets no sleep and plays far too much resi and punches david walliams in the face) *leaves total zombie nerd mode* thanks!

I think Army of Darkness may have one of the best trailers ever made.

I am very happy to see The Rising on this list, great read and grittier than a bag of sand in an oil drum. I love the Dead movies by Romero, but seriously put Land of the Dead at #4? That movie was awful.

Good article, I'm eager to check out the novels you listed.I saw a clip of tha Zombie vs Shark fight before, but I didn't know the origin, I'm gratefull I finally know the source. I would have included "World War Z" on the list of Zombie tomes though, and filmwise, the Zak Snyder, Dawn of the Dead
