YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE...MAYBE TWICE!
Which Decade Produced The Best Modern Zombie Films?
Ever since George A. Romero redefined the zombie genre(and the entire horror genre, as well)back in 1968, there has been a lot of zombie films. Some good, some not so good. Others have been flat awful. Then you have those few that are fantastic! Masterful movies which have profoundly impacted on us all-these are the classics!
The 70's produced some great zombies flicks like Let Slepping Corpses Lie,Deathdream and of course, the immortal classic, Dawn of the Dead.
The 90's saw the releases of cult faves such as Brain Dead(Dead Alive),Dellamorte Dellamore(Cemetery Man) and Return of the Living Dead 3.
The 00's had indelible films like 28 Days and 28 Weeks Later, Shaun of the Dead and Dawn of the Dead '04.
Each decade mentioned produced some amazing zombie cinema, but my favorite decade of the dead is definitely the 80's! Day of the Dead(my favorite horror film ever!), Return of the Living Dead, Zombi 2(Zombie), The Beyond, The Gates of Hell(City of the Living Dead), Re-Animator, Evil Dead 1 and 2, the 1980's rocked!!!
Which decade do you think is the best?

You guys are right...Definitely the 80's! Almost all of my favorite zombie movies except for Night of the Living Dead are from that decade also. (You pretty much named my whole list). The zombie movies that come out today just keep getting worse and worse for some reason.

Zombie popularity grew in the 80's as a result of Night and Dawn. We had a large amount of films coming out and that makes the 80's the best, in my opinion as well. Its not that the films were better, I just enjoyed the time frame more. 1985 would be the best year(Day of the Dead, Return of the Living Dead and Re-animator). The 80's got zombies down to a science. A lot of films had great zombie make-ups with prosthetics, that looked great and set a new standard for zombies. Dawn rules but the make-ups really dont look that sharp. They just have a lot of character, so they are likeable. The 80's defined the look of the modern zombie which holds to this day.

I'm no expert, but I'm going to agree with the 80s...Modern technology has done a lot for tons of movies, but a lot of the CG that they use now can kill it. You can't beat those good ol' claymation or make up effects.

I am going to have to agree with Bota2112 on this. Dawn of the Dead is my Favorite BUT... in 1968 Romero kreated his MASTERPIECE NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD!

I like the teens. 1917 was great. But the 80s were good too. So I say the 80s. Day of the Dead and Return of... really set me up to be the nutcase I am. Evil Dead 2 yad yada yada

Word on that nutcase shite. lol

I have to say though, as someone who has really gotten more into horror/sci-fi/zombie flicks as an adult rather than when I was young I really enjoy the stuff from the last decade. Dawn of the Dead is my favorite but 28 days franchise is awesome.

Been Awhile, BUt I'm still Alive
Greetings Everyone, Well it's been awhile. As things go, life carries us all in different directions from time to time but you always find your way home sooner or later. Well, life ain't all fun and games, but right now, things are going good. I have restarted my writing on my book again, and as I learn more about about some of the ROle-playing games I have gotten into, I am seriously thinking about rying to create an actual Zombie Survival Role-playing game. But have not set any time…
