10. Graveyard Zombie
as seen in
Night of the Living Dead (1968) This was the one that changed everything. While previously zombies had belonged to Haitian voodoo,
George A. Romero transported this undead ghoul right into the heartland of America. With sunken eyes and a death-white face, it lumbers across the graveyard and savagely attacks a brother and sister visiting their fathers grave. His eyes lust for human flesh and after smashing the brothers skull relentlessly pursues the girl into the bitter night. In the pitch darkness there are more like him but he was the first.
