Today is the Day of Dead. In honor of this Christianized pagan holiday — the pagans had the foresight to come up with most of the overworked Western world's religious holidays — in the follow-up posts you'll find my Top Five Scariest Living Dead Movie Actors. By that, I don't mean the actors were dead when the movies were made. Nor am implying they just went through the motions while on screen — unlike the vast majority of zombified human beings while on this plane(t). Instead, I'm referring to the movies' dead people who refuse to lie still.

I know, oftentimes it's hard to differentiate the walking braindead from the walking dead, but I'm doing my best here. In case you have authenticated proof that one (or more) of those listed in the follow-up posts were not dead when they scared the hell out of me, please drop me a line. I'll remove them from this list and will instead include them in some other category at a future date.
