Slow is dread. Slow is inevitability. Slow creeps inexorably toward you, constantly and unceasingly until it finally finds your hiding place, breaks down your walls and takes your safety away from you.
Fast is crass jump scares. It's not horror, it's just trying to elicit a reaction.
Slow every time.
If you want fast undead, use vampires or ghosts. They have a different vibe that isn't broken by speed.
Cue the horror movie where everyone is running away, and one guy adjusts his glasses, and notes "technically, because they're going for the abdomen first, and moving at a mid-jog pace, these are ghasts, not zomb- AURGH!"
The DnD nerd in me wanted to point out that ghasts are a subtype of ghoul, not zombies lol.
Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnerd
I won't deny it.
