With the undead storming the big screen yet again in the latest installment of the Resident Evil saga, I wanted to salute the Greatest Horror Movie Poster Of All Time, the iconic one-sheet for Lucio Fulci's Zombie (1979). While there's been many examples of strikingly designed horror posters over the course of the last however many years - the posters for Rosemary's Baby, Jaws, and Alien come immediately to mind - it's Zombie that holds all of the cards. If horror had its own currency, this would be the face (what's left of it) on the $1 dollar bill.
It's a poster that makes you feel more alive just by looking at it.

The tag line "We are going to eat you!" is pretty awesome in its directness.
I agree! The fact that every aspect of this poster is so brutally blunt - from the tagline to the photo and even the title - is what makes it rule.
You're on the money here. And honestly, I prefer Zombie to Dawn of the Dead, after re-watching both recently. Zombie vs. shark, come on!
