I think the basic zombies from Resident Evil 2. They were slow, but scary and full of gore. They were a nod to the old 'Night of the Living Dead' movies that reflected the fear in death itself - slow, easily delayed, but inevitable. They also utilized small spaces and limited maneuverability in addition to scary ambushes to make the terrain and setting part of the fear of zombies. Let's face it, a lone slow-type zombie on its own isn't really that dangerous (though the idea of a walking corpse is scary). Its a mob in a small area that really makes for interesting zombie drama.
