I always thought it was freaky when they were slow... and dead.
The spooks in 28 days/weeks weren't dead.
Not zombies at all.
For me, it's not about the speed at which they move, but more about the force behind their movement to begin with.
You can't contend with a supernatural re-animation. I mean... there's no damn virus to cure. At least in keeping with the original Night Of The Living Dead.
It didn't become about toxic waste or other natural factors until Romero mistakenly thought he could outdo himself.
I prefer the cause of re-animation to be a mystery. It's more intruiging that way.
