Fast zombies, and it's just plain over. Slow zombies, ala the WWZ book- we've got a chance, but only if everyone gets on the same page relatively fast. The strength of the shamblers that overcomes their slowness is that they never tire.

For the best religious take on zombies, hands down, go see Prince of Darkness. It's a bit aged, what with the giant porn mustache on the lead and the girls' hairdos, but it's a terrifying movie to this day.

I don't have to go see it. I've got it on DVD. One of my favorite John Carpenter movies, fantastic soundtrack, Donald Pleasence & Alice Cooper in the same film... 'nuff said.

Creepy ass movie, and a SORELY underrated gem from Carpenter's later 80's, and ignored catalog.

Believe it or not, I heard a rumor that the plot for Prince of Darkness was Carpenter/Hill's original idea for Halloween IV when they were renegotiating -- had it continued the anthology format set forth in Halloween III. They had two ideas, this one continued the Halloween III format, and they had another Michael Myers story that never got made once Moustapha Akkad won the series back in court and released Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers in 1988 a year later.

In some strange way, like H3... Halloween IV: Prince of Darkness -- it still works as both a stand-alone and a Halloween entry.

That's fucking fascinating. Ome of my favorite movies of all time and I had no idea of its history. Thanks !
