Oh hell, while I'm on the zombies kick, here's something else to consider...

A Zombie is not always a zombie.

Zombies are actually people that are alive but under a voodoo hex or something. They are controlled by the one who places the hex on them.
A zombie film example is The Serpent and the Rainbow where people become zombified.

What mainstream calls zombies is actually undead ghouls or infected ghouls or infected rage victims.

Undead ghouls have no metabolism, usually slow moving because they are dead matter animated in a quest for flesh or "Brains". Think Return of the Living Dead (awesome funny movies).

Infected zombies are fast moving and very hard to kill (probably because their adrenaline is ramped up somehow by the infection). They are violent and sometimes cannibalistic. The movie Rage comes to mind.

Then you have combinations in different ways.

When we throw science fiction into the mix we get what is known as the parasitic zombie which is usually an alien or lifeform that invades the human host and controls that host. The host may or may not survive the invasion. Think Scourge.

But wait, There's also the fantasy element of the magical possessed zombies that are zombified by the evil witch, warlock, mage or wizard.
Exeter comes to mind. These are harder to find because most of the time people think of them as demon possession movies and not zombie movies but if you look at the definition of a zombie in the voodoo sense, a will-less and speechless human sometimes those possession movies carry a zombie element.

Basically, to be zombified, you lose your self-will or trance-out.
Driving for long periods of time gives one a feeling of being a zombie because the repetitious act causes you to zone out and fall into a trance.
In a sense, being hypnotized is a form of zombification.

Romero zombies are the undead creatures featured in six of the films by George A. Romero: Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Land of the Dead, Diary of the Dead, and Survival of the Dead. These zombies conform to a set of rules regarding their actions, behavior, motivations and causes of reanimation. The specific depiction of zombies in Romero's films has become so widely known that perceptions and depictions of them in other media tend to conform to it.
They are no longer to be considered Zombies as they have been shown to communicate, form plans, use guns and ride horses as well as reacting to being lit on fire - All things true Zombies do not do.
Romero's zombies don't eat brains or crave brains. Return of the Living Dead was the first to have 'zombies' crave brains.
In Romero's NOTLD, nobody referred to them as zombies. "Those Things" are what they were called in the film and Romero admits to calling them "Ghouls". Invisible Invaders from the 1950s introduced alien controlled dead. Up till then, all zombie movies involved Voodoo in some way.

A Vampire is Undead but not a zombie because it has self-will.
A Mummy is Undead but not a zombie because it has self-will, unless it is being controlled.
Infected are not zombies because they are alive.

So, next time you play a zombie movie which type of zombie is it and is it even a zombie?

Tom4UHere,

Yeah i read somewhere that the country of Haiti know to zombify the dead loved ones. Check this out....have you heard of Plum Island the tiny island north of Long Island NY soutwest of Boston. They been doing sinister human animal slicing there. They found a human with long fi gers three holes in his head and crazy adnormalities. He escaped the island and found dead on the beach. Along with the imfamous Montauk Monster. You know that picture it looks like a cat mixed with a bird with a beak. I believe they want also create zombies there as well. Plum Island got exsposed so much they moved the facility to Oklahoma. Which i say its a bad ideal thats the heart of our food source. What if a tornado hit it we be in huge trouble.

Never heard of Plum Island.

I doubt anyone will ever be able to reanimate dead tissue.
Dead is dead.
There are some horror movies based on that premise tho.
Makes me think of
The Lazarus Effect (2015)


Medical researchers Frank (Mark Duplass) and his fiancée, Zoe (Olivia Wilde), have developed a serum, code-named "Lazarus". It was intended to assist coma patients but is shown to actually be able to bring the dead back to life.

The Lazarus Effect received generally negative reviews from critics.
Personally, I enjoyed it. It certainly turned out to be more than what I thought it would be when I first started watching it. Pretty twisted actually.

The whole Frankenstein concept is based on reanimating dead tissue.
The Re-Animator films were seriously funny.
Plus you have the tall man reanimating the dead in Phantasm films.

Experiments in the Revival of Organisms (Russian: Эксперименты по оживлению организма) is a 1940 motion picture which documents Soviet research into the resuscitation of clinically dead organisms.
I think that concept was inspiration for the scene in Prometheus where they reanimate the dead alien's head.

There is a difference tho, between stimulating nerve endings to produce a response and returning dead tissue to life. You can make any dead body twitch by jolting it with electricity. It doesn't continue to twitch after the power source is removed tho.

Anyway, back to Horror Movies.
Did you happen to see my Shocktober Halloween Movie Playlist?

You might recognize quite a few but then there might be some you might want to check out.
Here it is (I did screenshots of the folder)...











I tweaked it a lil since I took the screenshots but I managed to watch all those movies in the month of October plus a few more not shown.

Tom4UHere

I see you have a large horror movie distribution list....you like the " Prince" of horror playlist...you have your own movie distribution list....be careful jokenly the Illuminati may want to have a meeting with you for that list....lol no seriously im very impressed. 75 % on your list are my favorites. Now fars zombifications well i brought up Haiti because believe it or not i researched how they and why they zombify the dead. Even in death they believe they can reincarnate the loved one by taking the corpse to a shamen. Then after is where it gets creepy. The shamen then does a black magic ritual with powder and a few unmentionables and the body begins to rise. Its an ancient secret demonic spirits posses the body so the family will notice personality changes. At the point is when they realized thats not there loved one and may have regrets. I know this sounds SyFy but its true my friend. Haiti zombifies the Eygtians mumifies. America cross breeds or bury. Its all death rituals.

Tom4UHere,

Listen i was wondering your thoughts on the hit horror movie " Get Out"? I thought that movie was excellent. The storyline was brilliant thabks to Director and writer Jordan Peele from Key & Peele. Alot people. Thought many thoughts. Is it racsist? To be honest....no. Let me explain why. If you follow the story of young Chris a black guy who dating a white girl and she wants Chris to meet her parents. The parents is excited she with a black guy but its not because he's good to theyre daughter. They have plans to sell him on a private auction for his parts. The blind guy that bidded the highest for Chris wants his eyes. Later the suspense kicks in when Chris discovers his girlfriend has been with many black men . She was like the talent scout for looking for negroe men for they're sinister character opposites. The grandfather mind was inplanted in a black man so he could have the ability to run again. But run quicker. The grandmother mind was sunken into the black maid body. Fast forward.....The mother wanted used hypnosis to place Chris in a viod of sunken place to have him under a spell for surgery to have white men to be able to live in black bodies and be great at sports , philosophy and probably entertainment. The movie was a great watch.....it had some comical moments but ultimately its a movie i can watch over and over with 2 alternate endings i give it out 5 stars a total 5 all the way....

Lets get something strait.

In the last decade or two, more films show a mixed racial union.
Given the number of horror moves being made, its another 'given' that one missed race couple will appear.

Frankly, I don't really give a damn as long as all the other film-making is up to par.
It doesn't matter if it is movies or the current TV Shows.
The rule of thumb is to have a mixed race couple in there somehow.

I don't really pay much attention to that stuff, mainly because I'm not filled with bigotry anymore.
My parents were but I purposely made a change.

Just so you get an idea of my preferences, that Shocktober list of movies is not a list of my favorites.
Its a list designed to appeal to the month of October and the significance of Halloween.

Likewise my Christdember playlist is limited to Christmas related films.
There are a few horror films in that playlist as well.

BUT...Most of the films I value in this genre have very little to do with Halloween, If I were to list all the well-made horror films I would never be able to watch them all during the month.

Cell Count is one such film I enjoy.
Its not a Halloween type movie.
It is a horror movie and I like it enough to have watched it at lease 10 times.

There are way too many movies to have any significance,

At most movie stream websites a;

I well i brought up " Get Out" as an example for the concept wasnt racist but the opposite. Moving on....let me ask you this.whats your thoughts on the movie " Eyes Wide Shut"? I think its a good watch but a hard one at the same time. I don't know it you follow secret societies but thats the closes to the illuminati America gonna get to see the elite parties.

* Phone.
* Wishing Stairs.
* The Grudge.
* The Unborn.
* Alone.
* The Gravedancers.
* Dark Water.
* Tales From The Crypt : Demon Knight.
* The Haunting.
* Salem's Lot.

Eyes Wide Shut was watchable but not a repeat watch for me.
I don't really think about 'secrete societies' and find no mystery or threat in the concept.
I'm also not really into conspiracies.

When I think of horror I think 'horrific'.
If the film has horrific elements or horrific deeds, that's enough for me to classify it as horror.

There are some films that are just to sick and twisted for my tastes.
I also have no love for the sadistic ones.

I don't mind a few 'jump scares' if they are done right but when they are not, it ruins the watching experience for me.
Anytime I can't put myself into the picture it ruins the experience for me. I'm more of an 'immersion watcher' that an art critic.
Like found footage/shaky cam films.
Some people like them because they are artistic but I find them as lazy film making.

When I'm watching a movie, the good ones make me forget that I'm watching a movie.

Anyway, here are some more horror movies I like...
