Oh, there's plenty of love for House By The Cemetery, I just never considered it to be a zombie film. Was Dr. Freudstein an actual zombie or something else altogether (maybe something supernatural)?  In any case, it's one of my favorite Fulci films. Good call on Hinzman's Flesh-Eater, too. I agree that it has some creepy atmosphere. 

Fido

I don't consider House by The Cemetery to be a "zombie movie" because Dr Freudstein was a human who did dark magic and science on himself and is rather an immortal decaying creature who survived for 140 years by transplants, blood transfusions and all, he's an immortal.

Hell, i don't consider the book/movies of Pet Sematary to be "zombies" either because in the novel, it stated that a Wendigo (a cannibalistic native american/Canadian demon spirit) cursed the Micmac burial ground that is not too far from the children's pet cemetery and that any dead body buried in that ground will return as a bad shell of their former selves. The Pet Sematary resurrected are actually demon possessed bodies who return back as Deadite-like demons with the Wendigo possessing them as they seem to be intelligent and come back to torment the living especially gus in the sequel to the 1989 adaptation as he came back as a bad shell of his former self who is possessed by the Wendigo demon and is now a demon. And in the novel when Gage came back with the Wendigo inside him he told secrets to Jud before he killed him with Jud's wife's voice through the throat taunting him. They are really more like deadites in terms of puppets for a demon spirit.

 I also don't consider 28 Days to be "zombies' but infected humans who don't eat humans and can starve to death like normal humans as they can die from hunger.

When i do zombie lists, i don't include House by the cemetery, 28 Days and Pet Sematary or Evil Dead or Lifeforce (they are vampires).

Night of the Living Dead (1968) and (1990), Return of the Living Dead 1 and 2.


Zombie Apocalypse had its problems, mainly the crappy video game type CGI effects, but otherwise it was pretty good, I really liked the dialogue between the characters of how to survive zombies in an EMP world, when to kill and not to kill because the noise just attracts more zombies, the pros and cons of traveling on foot vs. bikes, protect yourself with heavy plastic sports gear but light weight so you don't sweat, etc.
