In most if not all zombie films they will get you in the end

Slow makes it more fearsome does it not

It was, until I saw the fuckers start running. Then I thought about it and said, "If those bastards could actually run after my ass, there ain't no way in hell anybody's getting away".

Slow Zombies are the only true Zombies (going with the original Romero style), considering their flesh is rotting and they're slowly decomposing it would seem a bit stupid if they could run

All you slow zombie supporters are voting out of fear. Fear that if a zombie apocalypse actually comes to pass, you won't have an easy time getting away from a zombie attack if they're really fast.

Real zombies CANT be fast - see my previous post for details of your severe wrongness

Not if they haven't been dead for very long.

Fast zombies are for losers (not Loser, losers). You may as well be chased by a pack of teenage ruffians, it's nothing special. It's pointless.

Slow zombies represent something very insidious. Creeping doom. Sure, you can outrun them, until you tire, they never will...you can outfight them, until their sheer numbers overwhelm you...and of course, the zombies moving slow gives you something worse than anything they might do to you...it gives you hope. And that hope may well betray you. Slow zombies also mean you have time to make preparations, but that only intensifies your fear...anticipation is torment. When you are fighting, you are not thinking, you are reacting; but when you are sitting and waiting as the creeping undead slowly swarm your makeshift shelter, that will eat you up inside.

But the best part of slow zombies...it magnifies the speed and puts on display the manic and panic of the living.

The slow horror of true zombies has even been lifted into films where the monsters are fast. Look at the wonderfully brilliant Dog Soldiers. They were basically holed up waiting for the zombie hordes. They were panicked, they were in a nightmare. Sure, when the werewolves came they came fast, but the makers of that film really took advantage of the down time to build the horror up.

Only good Zombie is a dead Zombie..

And the only 'real' ones are the slow ones, the others aint Zombies. 28 Days Later? They aint Zombies, i get so tired of arguing wi people over that one that these days i just shoot them in the head and hang around to see if their gonna turn so i can go 'See, NOW ur a Zombie..'

Interesting...

I agree with DGX

Why not fast zombies? If Usain Bolt got turned last night do you think he'd slow down just to fit the stereotype? Noooooo, he'd run your fat ass down in a heartbeat.
I can understand the older corpses being slower because of degeneration, but not every zombie has been in the grave for 5 years.
