18. White Zombie (1932)
A very different film than many on the list, "White Zombie" is the grandfather of the American zombie film, whose influence is felt everywhere from movies to music (as the band with the same name can attest). The movie is highlighted by Bela Lugosi at his creepy best, surprisingly scary looking zombies, and an important lesson for all zombie movies to come: You can't kill - or even slow down - a zombie by shooting it in the chest.
