Games
The Resident Evil Series- If you didn't grow up with these games you owe it to yourself to at least pick up the first one, play through it, and immediately not understand what all the fuss was about.
Eternal Darkness- Probably the only Gamecube game I ever played, it turned out to be a not-half-bad horror/adventure hybrid that wasn't strictly about zombies per say, but was somewhat hard, somewhat creepy, and contained shambling, shuffling monsters.
Dead Rising- Frank Genericlastname is an up-and-coming reporter who is the only one who can, through a series of timed missions and insanely hard boss-fights, expose a mysterious government cover-up somehow involving cows. More importantly, it's a mall filled with thousands of zombies and an assortment of destructive implements ranging from lawn mower to soccer balls.
Movies
The Evil Dead Trilogy- Bruce Campbell is a god among men. Things just won't stay dead. Somewhere along the line, a girl is raped by a tree. Hilarity ensues.
George Romero's '... of the Dead' series-
Including Night of the Living (for historical purposes if nothing else), Dawn (old and new, but especially new), Land (it really wasn't that bad), Diary (it was that bad, but watch it anyway), and Day. But only the old version of Day with the underground military base, not the new one with Nick Cannon. Fuck you, Nick Cannon.Quarantine- Characters you don't care about are locked in a tight apartment building with people and animals infected with an unnaturally violent form of rabies. Growling and teeth-gnashing follow. Worth your time if you can find it cheap. Legend has it that the original Spanish version, [rec], is even better.
Yes I totally left a lot of shit off this list. Some of it was on purpose for tomorrows compiling of what I would consider the best zombie media. Some of it I legitimately forgot or don't know about. Please make additions for the good of us all. Education is our best defense.
