Your post is somewhat interesting, because I don't know too much about older zombie films. There is a film I saw the tail end of on TV once, and I have always been really curious about it!

It had a pretty big group of slow, sleepy advancing zombies with bowed heads...the makeups looked simple, mostly mud color, maybe. And the end of the film had a bunch of people in a showdown with these things. And then they escape in a jeep and drive away. The end!

It looked like a late 60's or early 70's film. And I was surprised at how much the zombie "look" resembled Fulci's "Zombie." The coloration of the zombies was not gray--they were largely a kind of pale brown or beige. This gave me the impression that the zombie actors had been smeared with some available mud! But they looked okay.

But this was made much earlier, from the look of the film. Couldn't have been ealier than mid-60's. It was in color.

Does anyone know what zombie movie this is??
