Day of the Dead - Pvt. Torrez and Rickles get Eaten

--That's gotta hurt

As many zombie fans know, the death of Capt. Rhodes in the original Day of the Dead is the greatest "death by Zombie" in the history of cinema. But there were many other great death scenes from Day of the Dead that have been overshadowed and deserve some recognition....

Although Day of the Dead had fewer zombie kills than Dawn of the Dead, the scenes of gore are much more intense and convincing. Which brings us to the deaths of Pvt. Torrez(Taso N. Stavrakis) and Pvt. Rickles(Ralph Marrero), two of the most brutal Zombie "feasting" scenes ever and two of Tom Savini's greatest moments....

In this scene, the Zombies descend into the underground facility and wreck havoc on the remaining soldiers. Our first victim is Pvt. Torrez, who is literally ripped apart by the zombies, head first! Shortly after, our second victim, Pvt. Rickles is attacked and eaten as a Zombie rips off some of his face. Play close attention to the gruesome detail that Savini gives us. Some of the effects are so well done, it makes you wonder how he did that.

Night of the Living Dead - Another One for the Fire

"Oh hai! You came back"

A lot of remakes rarely live up to their predecessors, but the 1990 colorized adaption of Night of the Living Dead does the original justice. Sure, the remake was just made because most Americans can't sit down and watch a black-and-white movie anymore, but it was made well. The film is basically a faithful retelling of the original Romero story with the benefit of better special effects, cameras, and lighting. There are a few subtle differences, particularly the ending. While the original ending was very dark and full of meaning, the remake ends on a slightly more positive note, with some ham-fisted social commentary for good measure. But watching Barbara shoot that asshole Harry in the head was the most satisfying part of the film. A great death.

Day of the Dead - Greatest Death by Zombie Ever

I'm not quite sure how to say this, but I love zombies. I love anything related to zombies, in fact from now on I'm going to capitalize the word "Zombie" because I love them so much. I try to avoid posting the Zombie-eats-guy death scenes, because if it was up to me, the top 10 best movie deaths would all involve Zombies. But I can't contain myself any longer, which is why I'm posting my first Zombie movie death scene. In this clip from Day of the Dead, the malicious Capt. Rhodes flees from "Bub" who has aquired a handgun. Rhodes tries to escape through a door, but is ambushed by a group of zombies that tear him to pieces. But not before Bub shoots him. So let's recap: guy gets shot by Zombie, then gets eaten by a group of Zombies. Yeah, best Zombie death ever.
