Does House by The Cemetery and the Pet Sematary movies count as "zombie" films? i mean is Dr Freudstein a zombie or he is just a self-experiment? and would anyone consider the undead in the Pet Sematary films and book to be "zombies" or "ghouls" i mean the kid, Timmy Batterman, Rachel, Gus the sheriff etc. or are they dead corpses possessed by demons?

I don't consider 28 Days movies to be zombies, they aren't. They are infected people.

Zombieland, shaun of the dead. I would consider pet sematary a zombie movie. And thats another favorite.

Shaun of the dead
 
Hands down Shaun of the dead! Nick Frost and Simon Pegg work SO good together! and just love that movie. That said I hate zombieland I found it a bore and overrated. I didn't watch dawn of the dead until after it was claimed the best thing ever so I didn't get the full effect so won't place much judgment on it but holy crap is Ving rhames in everything! He was in another zombie movie I watched on syfy too. There's this one zombie movie I saw on syfy that took the ending from dawn of the dead, I've been trying to think of the name forever but I keep drawing a blank. Like the chicks dad has been hiding a boat to get off the island, things get crazy they run to the boat, the dad gets bit, they all get on the boat and sail away as the dad stand there on the peer watching them.

Hard to pick my fav zombie movie. I used to like Return of The Living Dead I and II as a kid, but now all the zombies moaining,"Braaaaains," just gets annoying. I like my zombies moaning or growling and that's about it. Talking zombies don't scare me as much. I still enjoy the ROTLD movies though. Really like the 2nd one. I watched ROTDL III a few times but like the first and second ones better. Haven't seen those movies in years, so maybe it's time I dusted them off and popped them in. They're still some of my favorites in spite of all the zombies fixated on "braaaains." Also enjoy the Resident Evil series. Since I've finally been able to get my hands on the game novelizations, I think I enjoy the books a bit more than the movies. They're basically the games in written form, which I really get a kick out of. The neat thing about RE is that you've got more than just zombies running around. There are all sorts of beasties to contend with, which makes things even more terrifying. The zombie dogs freak me out, as do the tyrants and lickers. Nemesis is just bada$$. An undead brute wielding a rocket launcher sounds like a horrible way to go. I liked his added gat in the movie but miss the tentacles.

I loved the remake of Dawn of The Dead. The zombies sound more like rabid dogs in that one. They do in the RE movies as well, which is a bit scarier to me. Guess they sound the same in The Walking Dead TV series but that's a story for another thread. I'd have to say out of all the horrors introduced to us via scary movies, zombies terrify me the most. I suppose it's their overwhelming numbers that factor into things. Plus, once you've been bitten, there's nothing that can be done save a bullet to the head. Well, unless there's some cure lying around. Depends on the movie you're watching, I suppose. Never seen Zombieland, so I think I might give that one a try. Shaun of The Dead is also another one of my favorites. That one was just plain brilliant.

Shaun of the Dead always makes me laugh every time I see it.
Both the original and remake of Dawn of the Dead are great movies to watch on Halloween.
28 Days Later is still one of ny favorite movies

Zombieland and Shaun Of The Dead. They're funny but gory as well.

Haven't seen all those. My favorites are Night of the Living Dead '68/90s remake and Return of the Living Dead.

I know 'Return' is meant to be kinda actiony/humorous but every time I watch it I think its genuinely kinda scary. Aside from being trapped at the morgue I think the two guys slowly turning into zombies is creepy, when the paramedics say they're technically dead.

The thing Ive always found really disturbing though was that the military would rather bomb the area instead of rescue survivors. They finally call the number on the canister just to initiate a launch.

Pet Sematary (book and film adaptation) and the film adaptation's sequel are debatable as zombie stuff.

Anyone thinks the undead in the PS films and book like Gage, Timmy Baterman, Rachel, Gus, the Punk etc. are less flesh-eating creatures and more like dead corpses possessed by demons and are more like the deadites and the REC creatures in terms of undead beings that come back to torment the living? in the book it stated by Jud that the Micmac grounds were soured by a Wendigo (a vengeful cannibalistic trickster demon spirit) and the Micmac Indians stopped using the piece of land when the area went sour by the Wendigo as it's spirit lives on in the forest. It also said that the animals were brought back less dangerous like Spot in the book but some came back real mean like Harriety's prize bull but only the humans become more like tricksters. The Wendigo explanation was missing from the film version but was in the original 86 screenplay which can be read as it was the first draft and in the book and 86 script it showed the Wendigo itself that appeared before Louis before he buried his son as it's a horned yellow-eyed monstrous demon with black sharp teeth/skeletal looks and all that, however in the movie version it was replaced with Pascow instead trying to scare Louis. In the book Gage came back yellow-eyed and foul mouthed as he talked like an adult as he taunted Jud about his wife before he killed him and even implied that he ate a bit of his mother's corpse after killing her even to Jud's dead body.

And do Wendigo's possess dead bodies or is that something Stephen king made up as they are trickster demons who can turn you into a cannibal if your touched by one?

I guess the stuff about the Wendigo's touch is something King might have thought up. I'd never heard of Wendigos bringing back corpses and causing them to serve. Most Wendigos I've seen in other movies and TV shows are more like forces of nature. King also touches on this subject of the undead serving nameless Lovecraftian beings in a short story called Jerusalem's Lot found in Nightshift. That one is also creepy. Now those undead slaves in JL are def more like zombies than in Pet Sem sequel etc. I'm glad you guys brought up Pet Sem as the book/film is one of my favorites involving zombie-like servants. Scares the hell out of me but still one of my favorites. I think I like the book better, however. Yeah, I also think the things possessing the corpses in Pet Sem are some sorts of demonic servants that undoubtedly worship the Wendigo. It seems that the human soul has departed the bodies when they're reanimated and something more malignant has taken their places.

I think the rotting zombies freak me out the most. The freshly dead are alright but not that scary to me. If they've been in the ground for a year and a half or so, that's different. I would guess they look scarier with bits of bone, brain, and muscle showing.
