| Room Full of Zombies | comment |
Almost every zombie film has a scene where the survivors go into a house or building because it looks safe... but then there's that one room someone overlooked. They open the door and a swarm of zombies start to pour out. Usually this happens when people refuse to properly dispose of infected loved ones and they reanimate hours later. Some refuse to kill their loved ones out of simple grief and decide to hide them in the basement, attic, closet, etc. Also common in hospitals, where loads of infected may have been treated before anyone truly knew what was going on. Overlaps with Safe Zone Hope Spot, Failed a Spot Check, Creepy Basement, and possibly Blackout Basement. |

The Walking Dead After waking up in an abandoned hospital, Rick discovers that the cafeteria is full of Walkers. The protagonists decide to take refuge inside a gated community. Too late they see the warning notice ALL DEAD INSIDE. The protagonists have been staying on Hershel's farm for a while when he reveals that he has Walkers locked up in his barn. Rick's group are aghast at this, but he's equally horrified at their suggestion that they just shoot the Walkers (including members of Hershel's family) when there might be a cure for them. While checking out a prison they decide to make their base, Rick and Tyreese open the doors to the prison gym hall, only to find it filled with Walkers. They promptly bar the doors again and decide to save clearing it out for later. |

Played with in The Last of Us: the group enters the sewers in order to take a shortcut to their destination (hopefully avoiding the raiders along the way), only to find the place home to hordes of Infected. They barely make it out the other side... where they see the entrance has been barricaded and has big, obvious warnings: "INFECTED INSIDE! DO NOT OPEN!" | |

Half-Life 2: Episode 1 has a particularly nasty trap involving a room that looks perfectly harmless, with only a single cut-in-half zombie in plain sight. Step on the wrong spot, though, and the floor will give way, dropping you into a cluster of a half-dozen other zombies. Headcrab zombies are also fond of luring Gordon into a false sense of security by pretending to be dead bodies or hiding in (opaque) toxic waste until he comes too close. | |

In Halo Wars 2, the ruined city of High Charity is this on a gigantic scale, sealed under a solid dome by the sentinels of the Ark and kept under heavy guard. Unfortunately, the Banished destroy most of the defences so they can salvage resources from the surrounding debris field, and one of their commanders decides to slice open a tiny passage through the shield so he can search for greater treasures. A few minutes later, the Flood emerge from the breach, overrunning the landscape and devouring everything they see. | |

At the end of Day of the Dead (1985), Captain Rhodes, while trying to escape from the semi-intelligent "domesticated" zombie Bub, gets chased to the end of a hallway with only a single door offering escape. He opens the door to find one of these, then gets shot by Bub and Devoured by the Horde. | |

Dance of the Dead: Features a version where the characters have to deliberately go into the room. The school gym gathers most of the zombies in town during prom, with all but a handful of students having been turned into the undead, after the group arrives too little too late. When they attempt to blow up all of the zombies, someone crawling through the vents accidentally drops the remote into the middle of the dance floor, with part of the climax involving trying to get to it without being eaten. | |

Resident Evil 2: Shows up where you open an unassuming door (in a save room, no less) and zombies shamble in. If you pay very close attention, you can be Genre Savvy before opening it. Seeing as the room has a window to the outside, and it's been well established early on that all of outside is filled with zombies. In one of the RPD's save rooms, there's a fuckload of them in HUNK's minigame, to the point that players have a margin for error of literally one half a second to get away from the entrance before the zombies swarm and inevitably kill them. |

A small antechamber in a seemingly-empty dungeon in Eye of the Dragon turns out to contain six zombies, which ambush you the moment you enter the room. If you have a Ring of Zombie Control, you can order them to back off, otherwise you (and your friend, Littlebig the Dwarf) will have to battle the entire group. | |

Doom (2016): This is a common occurrence in the game, but the most notable one is right after getting the BFG9000, where you land in an area with about twenty Possessed. It's pretty much a testing ground for the aforementioned weapon. | |

The Walking Dead (2010): In the series premiere, Rick is faced with a room that's been barred shut. Fortunately, the helpful sign on the door, as seen on the trope image above, helped warn him from unsecuring it and letting out the zombies that were behind it. It's later pointed out the sign is confusing — it was the chained door and the guttural snarling that frightened him off. Shows up again in season 3, where Andrea opens a door that leads to a staircase FILLED with the dead bastards. The Hunters make camp at a school they used to live at, which now just barely contains a horde of starving walkers. Sure enough, a few episodes later, Father Gabriel accidentally unleashes the horde and gets his own church overrun. The Wolves have a trap set to kill innocent people where the victim can accidentally open several food trucks full of walkers. |

In World War Z, South Korea was afraid that this might be the case with North Korea. The entire population of North Korea disappears after the zombie outbreak. It is theorized that the entire country disappeared into underground tunnels. It is left ambiguous whether they remain uninfected, in which case there's a highly militarized nation down there that thinks the entire surface is zombie-infested, or whether they were infected. No one wants to mount an expedition for fear of releasing nearly twenty-three million zombies. | |

Blood of the Zombies: The interiors of Goraya Castle; every random room will contain nearly ten of these undeads, and there are chambers literally crowded with zombified foes in the double digits. But luckily this adventure happens to be set in modern times (unlike most of the books which took place in the Medieval era), therefore your character would've had access to firearms and grenades to battle the undead. | |

The original Dawn of the Dead (1978) had a SWAT team raid a housing complex that had their basement filled with zombies. The trope also shows up at a refueling station, and towards the end with Stephen's death when his elevator opens up on a floor filled with zombies. | |

Can happen in Cataclysm fairly often, and refugee centers in particular always generate with a sealed-up room or two full of undead. Even if the center is inhabited by NPCs, though in that case they'll usually assign a mission to clear out the sealed-off rooms if prompted. Nothing's guaranteeing it'll STAY sealed though, especially considering zombies gain a bonus to their ability to smash obstacles when surrounded by fellow undead. | |

There's an elevator full of zombies that opens up and released them in The Cabin in the Woods. It's possible to overlook, as there are seven more elevators opening at the same time, which spill out other kinds of monster. | |

Zombies are a recurring enemy in the Fighting Fantasy series, and more often than not you'll end up randomly opening a door and be greeted by a small legion of undead foes. A small antechamber in a seemingly-empty dungeon in Eye of the Dragon turns out to contain six zombies, which ambush you the moment you enter the room. If you have a Ring of Zombie Control, you can order them to back off, otherwise you (and your friend, Littlebig the Dwarf) will have to battle the entire group.

Left 4 Dead: Because of the way zombies spawn, an otherwise empty house might have a single room packed with zombies or be an area that a zombie horde spawns from. The official comic featured a boat that the cast initially thought as a good means of escape, but was quickly declined since its cargo hold was full of witches. Due to some Early-Installment Weirdness, occasionally the original game would see zombie hordes spawning out of a bathroom stall. |
