There are no zombies in the evil dead movies! They are Deadites! DEADITES!!! Zobies are brainless, slow, and canibalistic. Dedadites are moderatly fast, seem to have some sort of logic mind, are capable of speach, and they dont bite people because they are hungry. They do it just to be nasty little buggers.

Well.......Kygotc is right. Sounds like he knows his Zombies. Anyone else here like to take EVIL DEAD and/or BAD TASTE from the Zombie List?

Well, even though I agree with everybody that Bad Taste is not a zombie film, I would argue that Evil Dead is a zombie film and so would Sam Raimi (director of Evil Dead) and Allen Bryce (publisher of The Dark Side magazine).

If someone wants to get into defintions, then let's see what Wikipedia has to say:

"The term zombie refers to a dead person whose body has been revived. Zombie, originates from the Afro-Caribbean spiritual belief system of Vodoun (otherwise known as Voo-Doo in America). These folkloric zombies are humans who have had their "Ti Bon Ange" or soul stolen by supernatural means and shamanic medicine, and are forced to work for their "zombie master" as uncomplaining slaves on isolated plantations. Other more macabre versions of zombies have become a staple of modern horror fiction, where they usually engage in human cannibalism."


Souls stolen by supernatural means, reanimated corpses; yes, Evil Dead could well be a vampire movie with these similarites, but it fits with a zombie movie theme much better.

There are other movies on the list which fit less with a zombie movie than Evil Dead.

Is it a zombie movie in the tradition of Romero and Fulci? Of corse not, but it has more in common with a zombie movie than not. Trying to have it removed from the list because it does not fit with one's personal viewpoint is really splitting hairs.

Agree with Menard.  "Bad Taste" is a bit of a stretch.  The deadites in the Evil Dead films are bodies possessed by demons.  Not exactly what we call the stereotypical zombie, but then we do get zombies caused by everything from toxic waste to a virus to magic.

Ok, EVIL DEAD remains and BAD TASTE is out. Unless someone has more info to add. It's looking like a good list.

I think NIGHTMARE CITY is radiation induced somehow if I remember correctly.

I think Nightmare City was people just mutated by radiation. They weren't dead and then re-animated, they just got deformed, I guess that's why they were still fast. Toxic Zombies is another one that should be added on the list.

hey anyone know if this one's a zombie movie, haha, I've never seen it

"Nightmare City" had some people walking around after being attacked by the zombies if I remember right.  Also, they could take hits anywhere to the body, requiring a brain shot to stop them.  I would call them zombies.

"My Boyfriend's Back" = Revenant or zombie, your choice.

From what I can recall of that virtual sleep inducer called Nightmare City, the initial group of attackers from the plane were not reanimated corpses, but were in an unstoppable and essentially indestructible state due to radiation exposure (or, I guess, overexposure). If I recall correctly, in a scene with Mel Ferrer (he must have been so proud), the doctor explains that the 'zombies' were not dead but rather tranformed into an almost superman state and that they could not be killed but that severing the head, or spinal cord, from the body would render them useless. In the movie, there are those who are killed and do not revive; but other victims do come back as zombies. It seems as though the plot of the movie is as confused and improvised as is Lenzi's usual incompetent direction.

My question is, Scott, when are you going to add the Friday the 13th movies to the list? Parts 6, 7, and 8 are definitely zombie movies. In part 9, I don't know if they had Jason as a zombie at the beginning, but he is primarily a demon in the film, but does get reborn of human flesh; leading us to part 10 where he is not a zombie, but a human with incredible regenerative powers.

So; when ya goin ta add Jason to the list? Huh? Huh?  TongueOut

Ok. I agree that zombiesa are reanimated DEAD corpses. But dig this. When ash gets POSSESED (not infected, mutated or other such zombies causes) he was not DEAD! In fact, he was alive enough
to kick some DEADITE ass for a third
film.
