Damn! I was scared! I was a kid at the time. I'm an adult now but it still manages to be very creepy. The most intense scene was the scene where he kills Spizato (how ever you spell his name) in the alley. The ways he yells for help and you hear the disgusting crunch. The creepiest scene was the scene in the cemetery.
shareIt's a superior episode alright.
shareThe one thing I don't like about it is the inconsistency. In all the earlier scenes, the zombie lumbers around slowly, which is all he needs to do because he can't be killed. But in the junkyard, he's pretty darn spry when he goes after Kolchak. I've always thought slow-moving monsters were scarier. Like in your nightmares when there's such a monster coming after you. You run and run, but every time you stop to rest or hide, you see it's still coming slowly, inexorably, inescapably towards you. Or like the mummy in the really old movies.
shareAlso my favorite. Great writing and excellent performances by the cast. My one quibble is the scene where the zombie hitches a ride on a bus and nobody bats an eyelash! Surely the stink and the man's atrocious appearance would've alarmed some of the other riders?

I watched this episode the other day. So far two good episodes.
I'll let you know when I come-up with a new signature, ξ.
Your not kidding. I think it was terrifying when he was actually trying to sew its mouth shut and it woke up!
shareThe Zombie is a superior episode. Itβs too bad the series couldnβt keep up this level of quality. I think four of the first five episodes are really well done.
shareHey,
I feel the same! I was born in the early seventies and saw this show in the eighties. Yes, as an adult, Iβm still terrified. They donβt make shows and movies like this these days. The best vampire movie of all times is βSalemβs Lotβ. I know in the book the vampire speaks but in the movie, he didnβt. The jailhouse and funeral home scenes are the scariest. This may come across as corny you, but checkout the vampire movie with David Naughton, βDesire, the Vampireβ. The full movie is on YouTube. Itβs creepy just like Kolchak.
