Today they are everywhere. They used to just occupy our movie theaters....but now they fill our bookstores, our video games, comic shops. They star in television shows and are featured in commercials.
 
I am talking, of course, about the living dead. Popularly, we refer to them as zombies.
 
Due to the genius of George Romero they have become as popular and as familiar to us as Dracula and Frankenstein's Monster. Unlike the monsters of folklore they're origins are in the movie theater.
 
So, let's look at the best of the zombie movies. What are the top 5 zombie movies, and what makes them the best?
 
#5 Zombieland
This movie is just lots of fun. How can you go wrong with a horror/comedy about a road trip across a United States filled with flesh eating ghouls? Add a stellar cast starring Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg and featuring a hilarious guest appearance by Bill Murray.

Include a good practical set of rules for surviving the inevitable zombie appocalypse, and you've got a classic which is more fun then a barrel of undead monkeys.

There was talk for a time about a sequel in 3d but nothing came of it. Now there's word that Zombieland is in development for an upcoming tv show from Fox.
