Rob Zombie lists top 5 Zombie movies

Although Rob Zombie has previously touted the original 1931 Frankenstein as his all-time favorite horror movie, he's got a different set of favorites on his list of the top five zombie flicks. According to AntiMusic.com, here are Zombie's fave movies about the walking dead from the bottom up, along with his reasons for their inclusion:

5. Zombie Lake - "This one is just really weird. Maybe not the best zombie movie, but for some reason I like it anyway."

4. Dawn of the Dead (1978 original) - "As a sequel, it's outstanding and a great political commentary on how people are zombified by their culture. Where else can you get a Zombie Mexican Biker Pie Fight?"

3. I Walked With a Zombie - "This one is classic, but a little unknown. They had a really different approach to the storytelling in this one, which I why I like it."

2. Night of the Living Dead - "This movie was simply groundbreaking for the black and white zombie genre. (Director) George Romero had people freaking out with the whole idea of zombies coming alive and eating people."

1. White Zombie - "Nothing like a little voodoo to make your woman love you more. Plus it's got Bela Lugosi."

Rob Zombie's remake of the classic horror film Halloween is scheduled to hit theatres a year from now. Shooting is scheduled to begin in January.

His previous credits as a screenwriter and director are 2003's House of 1000 Corpses and 2005's The Devil's Rejects.

He's also finishing up work on a live CD and DVD, recorded and filmed during his 2006 tour.
