Top Ten Walking Dead - Best Zombies Ever!
9. Morgue Zombie
as seen in The Living Dead at the Manchester Morgue (1974) Fresh from an autopsy, this accident victim is justifiably peeved when an experimental pesticide resurrects him from the dead. In nothing but a pair of briefs and a bandaged skull, he feasts hungrily upon the hospital night attendants. Astonishingly, the film predates Dawn of the Dead by three years and Gianetto De Rossis groundbreaking special effects set the template for the kind of baroque grue that became synonymous with Romero/Savini. The stitched up autopsy scar running down Morgue Zombies chest is a particularly sick highlight.
