It's like asking a parent to pick a favourite child.

My vote goes to the Tar Man!
The films are both as good as each other...I can't pick a favourite...but the Tar Man just kicks ass in so many ways.

Oooh.......that's a tough one. What two better corpses to choose between. You can't go wrong with Tarman - brains! (with his white eyes opening wide) but I'd have to go with Nathan; "I want my cake, Bedelia, where's my cake, it's Father's Day?"

Tarman always did, and still does, really creep me out. He gets my vote.

ARE YOU KIDDING??????????? The Tar Man all the *beep* way!!!

The zombie in this film was a COMPLETE JOKE!!! It looked so very,very,very FAKE I even read they used rice krispes!!! lol

The reason Wacko Jacko died is because it's heart just couldn't BEAT IT anymore.

Tarman is one of the most memorable zombie characters ever captured. The way the actor used the costume and the movements of his body made a zombie into a memorable character with personality...there have been very few memorable zombie characters...in fact I think only Nate, Tarman, Bub or whatever his name was from Day of the Dead, and the red headed chick from ROTLD 3 also comes to mind.

reply

Yeah the way this guy walked and the hand popping part was good just the face shots were hilariously FAKE AS HELL.

I think they're both great corpses. If I had to pick the one who creeps me out more, I'd say Tar Man. "BRAINS!"

reply

Definitely Tarman...not so much for "brains" as for "More Brains!!" when he sees the rest of the friends, plus he looks totally gross and would definitely have me running for the next state, so I could avoid the final solution!!

reply

wow.. great question.

You know I couldnt honestly pick one, they are tied

In the spirit of The Season...I came to this page of 1 of my favorite movies and although I see this is a very old post, I had to chime in because these two creatures are from movies that are in my all-time top 5 favs. Lol. I would have to say Nathan's Corpse was better...His corpse and the Monster from "The Crate" were about the only things to ever scare me in horror films BTW...ever. Lol. And more importantly although Tar- Man has the cool "skull biting" scene from ROTLD...Nathan's Neck-Breaking Scene is 1 of the most brutal deaths I think has ever been on screen...Jason Voorhees never even pulled off anything like that !!! The Telekinetic Skull Crushing scene...and the reveal of what his "Cake" actually consists of make Nathan's corpse 1 of the coolest Horror Villains ever. Just my 2 cents.
