I do not know where you get your info, but ghouls are pretty much degenerate humans that are dark dwelling and for the most part are cannibalistic either consuming the living or dead corpses. More info by wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghoul

For the most part, no ghoul is the undead.

Sorry, I generally go by Dungeons and Dragons monsters. In D&D, Ghouls are cannibalistic undead.

Anyway, this should probably soon be moved to the transformation area

These zombies are less dangerous, singly, then Necromantic zombies (Unless you are armed with a melee weapon) but have the potential to grow exponentially in numbers.

Necromantic: The type of zombie created by a necromancer by drawing power from the negative energy plane into a corpse. Slower than some Plague zombies and less numerous (Unless the Necromancer has had a long time to work on them) these are more dangerous individually because there is no real way to kill them with conventional weapons, you can only chop them into enough pieces that they can't hurt you any more. The best sorts of weapons to deal with Necromantic zombies are blessed bullets, holy swords, silver weapons and sheer faith. Very effective at killing atheists who are unlikely to have access to any of the effective weapons.

Too bad holy items don't do you shit with Resident Evil zombies... >_>

Seen Hellsing? Did they get it right? Wrong? Terribly off?

Haven't seen hellsing, but they were wrong I guess.

The only true way to kill any form of evil(excluding evil fire monsters, but they tend to not attack all that often) is to purge them.
PURGE THEM WITH FLAMES!!!!

[Gaffenheimer]

I asked myself that the first time I played my first RE game.

I've got different ways to deal with them:

Trash compactor
Huge laser
Barbara Stresand Laser Disk
The Force
Healing Spells
The Holy Grenade (aaaaaaalleluia.....)
Daemonhammer (see Warhammer 40k) or 'Godsplitter'
Blackhole
Replicants (see Stargate SG-1), organics are no match for nanotech.
An army of Worms with bazookas

And finally an Hadoken.

I wonder what HK-47 would say about them (dead meatbags?)

[Shiar]

Hmmmm.... I don't know... I'd have to go with one of those tunnelling machines from Total Recall.... the handheld one for close encounters, and the actual ridable one for en-masse zombies.

The best way to kill zombies is with a phoenix down, duh

Isn't that similiar to using healing items on ghosts?

[AhziDahaka]

A level 16 Life spell will pretty much vaporize an army of zombies in one casting, although the Teleport spell makes for a good substitute if they're susceptible to Matter-type spells.

Hmm... How about a fully automatic rocket launcher that fires flaming chainsaw that explode after embedding themselves in something for a second? Sure, it's not as quick as magic, and the weapon itself could probably only be mounted on a tank, but it'd be really cool and destructive, right?
