You could always do two lists, one with zombies and one without. It might be illustrative of your film tastes to show how many of your top 10 would be zombie films if you made a list including those films in which someone has risen from a grave and become a zombie.

Mary Woodhouse in City of the Living Dead and Beatrix Kiddo in Kill Bill: Vol 2 literally rose from the grave (I think the latter is a reference to the former), though only Mary Woodhouse was presumed dead.

[MrBarlow]

City of the dead= Mary
Highlander= Connor
Lord of the rings= Gandalf

Had them in mind also, thought of these movies.

Buried Alive=Clint Goodman. 1990
Howling 2= Karen White 1985
The Serpent and The Rainbow= Dennis Alan 1988.
Zombie Nosh=Flesheater 1988.
(did try not to add a zombie movies)
Dracula has risen from the grave=Dracula.
(anyone ever done that drinking game without spilling anything?)
Friday 13th =Jason
(he didn't rise up from the grave but does a lake count)

So that's one person who hasn't seen Dracula Has Risen from the Grave.

Any more?

I have seen Dracula has risen from the grave, if I do remember he was not on a grave he was in water and still flesh not dust like the other movies

So what has this to do with this weeks subject? Just because the film is daftly titled doesn't mean it qualifies. By your reasoning Mr B any Frankenstein film will also feature as it's bringing the dead back to life.

It could be a vampire, a zombie, a mummy, a mistaken burial where someone was never really dead, but when a person was considered dead, subsequently buried, and comes back to prominently feature in the film.


RISEN FROM THE GRAVE FILMS

Think that makes my list useless as a few of them weren't buried.

Must admit i didn't know as i'm not as familiar with them as i am horror films.

Had Nos given the subject as 'Back from the Dead' or something on those lines then they would all be fine. However he stipulated Risen from the Grave on more than one occasion so that's why Dracula Has Risen from the Grave doesn't count as he was lying in water and brought back to life by a trickle of blood.

I'd take grave to mean buried or entombed if you're rich.
