Zombies have been plaguing popular culture for decades. The first feature-length zombie movie, Victor and Edward Halperin's "White Zombie," was first shown in theaters way back in 1932, and the shambling, relentless zombie horde have been a staple of pop-culture ever since.
The massive, mindless legions of the undead are ideal creature-features in video games, and as games have evolved, so too has their portrayal of the undead. Below are four distinct varieties of the gaming undead - which is your favorite?
The most common portrayal of zombies is one of a slow-moving corpse, dragging one leg as it scours the land mindlessly searching for food. With the notable exception of Michael Jackson's Thriller video, this is how pretty much all zombies were portrayed until fairly recently. In games like Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts, and pretty much every Castlevania game, zombies rise from the ground and wander from one side of the screen to the other. They're easy to take out, easy to avoid, and are essentially living-dead goombas.
