Simple,we've seen them all
What zombies do you like more?

For me,the runners.Although I like the traditional slow zombie.The runner zombies are more intense.
If there's one thing you could be sure of is that you could outrun a traditional zombie...These sprinter zombies on the other hand can run as fast as a car.

So..Now it's up to you.

In any case, walkers. I barely consider the runners zombies in the first place.

I recommend you read "The Serpent and the Rainbow: A Harvard Scientist's Astonishing Journey into the Secret Societies of Haitian Voodoo, Zombis, and Magic" Amazing book. Zombies are real, man.

Walkers are classic. There's nothing like 1,000 decomposing people coming at you. Running zombies tend to be more solo.

walkers because they are the most realistic. because zombies would likely suffer from rigor mortis. meaning that their muscles are tightened when they died.

Runners, they are more epic, and could be the only scary one out of them.

If it's not slowly shuffling and occasionally stumbling over itself, it's not a zombie.

I like the dancing zombies :P seriously though I prefer the classic walking zombies mainly because the old zombie movies are far better then the recent ones.

I prefer runners. They're more fun to watch and actually seem to be a genuine threat, as opposed to the slow and bumbling walkers.

Zombies suck. And the only people who suck more then zombies are people who shoot them NOT in the head. I mean, COME ON, I don't care what fictional city you've been living in, everyone knows you need to shoot the zombie in the head. Anyways, my point is probably that most (especially recent) zombie movies suck, but still...

Runners seem more the work of shabbier filmmakers, (with apologies to Danny Boyle.) The whole idea was the way that they would just slowly overwhelm all but the most proactive of survivors. Some dropped shotgun shells here, a trip on a root there, and boom, zombie feast.

I mean seriously in Day of the Dead with Mena Suvari and Nick Cannon, some of them were wall crawling like Spiderman. If that were the case there would be zero chance of survival.

Usually, the slow, shuffling zombies are traditional "dead" zombies. And then there's the more modern fast zombies, which often times aren't techincal zombies because they aren't dead. More like people infected with some rage virus. I picked the slow ones because I loved World War Z. I can't wait for the movie. :P

Slow ones always manage to keep up with you. I think that's creepier than a fast zombie.

I dont know about as fast as a car >.> But take Left 4 Dead on expert for example, killing runners would be 3 times harder than that in real life I would imagine. They could not only cause grievous wounds that couldnt be healed, but I dont think they would die as eaily if shot anywhere other than the head or completely delimbed. Not to mention if you shot a friend, that would instantly be fatal in a real life situaion unlike in a game where you can just pick someone up after they go down lol. I'll try to find my topic so I can link it to you, someone explained why walking zombies are pretty awesome too.

In left 4 dead though, you have a litttle of both, they walk/shuffle until you are visible to them, then they run and *$%# you all up. thats what i like about it, also they lie down sometimes, wich i find awesome because there like trying to be a target at that point.

In real life though with the runners it seems as though it may be hard at times to tell if they are alive or not, like in left for dead sometimes you see the Horde leaning on a wall or a car, not only that but they can climb. Left for Dead may not be fully considered zombies but in any case, they would probably be very lifelike at times.

To watch in a movie, runners. To see in real life, walkers.

There's a movie? When is it coming out?

On a related note, I like the walkers because runners aren't traditional zombies, much like goth_bacon said.

Sorry, but the numbers have to be comparable.

If you can have 1000 slow crippled zombies, and those zombies are only slow and crippled in order to allow the heroes to slowly get away, then there is no reason why we can't have 1000 fast runner zombies.

Runner zombies are better for one simple reason...if zombies just generally want brains, then the slow crippled walker zombies sure as hell aren't trying very hard to get those brains. I can't have much respect for lazy villains, and you can't get much lazier than slow zombies.
