Zombie Apocalypse | comment |
Within the past couple days or hours, something very strange has happened. Maybe the Synthetic Plague the government was working on got unleashed. Maybe a voodoo priest's spell went awry. Maybe an alien space probe broadcast a weird signal at the Earth, or fell to Earth and brought radiation with it. Maybe there's just no more room in Hell. Whatever the cause, the result is the same; the recently dead have risen, en masse, to feed on the living. With each victim they claim, their numbers swell, and no force on Earth can contain them. As society collapses, it's up to the Big Damn Heroes (or a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits) to fight their way to safety or keep shooting until things blow over. The Zombie Apocalypse has arrived. While Horror is assumed to be an inherent part of the zombie apocalypse, not all the horror and conflict comes from the zombies themselves. Instead it can come from the reaction of the living humans involved, and how they respond to the state of fear and violent chaos brought about by the zombies. Often, the answer is "not well". The breakdown of society, the fear that your Fire-Forged Friends could be infected and turned against you without warning, are at least as important to a zombie story as the zombies themselves, if not more so. Common to virtually all Zombie Apocalypse tales is that, regardless of the reason zombies attack living/non-infected people, they never attack other zombies. Whether they'll attack animals other than humans varies, but it's rare for The Virus to affect other species, probably because it's cheaper and easier to film humans in make-up than to work with animals, whether trained, animatronic, or CGI. Due to the threat that zombies pose (they did just become the apocalypse, after all), protagonists of more serious works are required to become very smart very quickly (but will be ignorant with regard to the word "zombie" itself). Failure is often the only option in these stories; rarely do they have an ending that could be considered "happy" by typical standards, or indeed one where humanity survives as a species. Another main staple is that things will always, always go From Bad to Worse. Either from the character's actions or circumstance which are out of their hands, no matter how improbable it is. Since trying to plot a zombie outbreak from Patient Zero is long and difficult, most zombie stories are set either After the End, have zombies turn very quickly, or have a significant mass of people infected all at once by some sort of bioweapon. The Militaries Are Useless trope is usually a must in such a movie, if only to avoid the film ending in five minutes. If they ARE actually competent, they'll likely happen to be evil. The collapse will also take place very quickly, over a period of weeks or months, instead of years. This prevents society and/or the main characters from adapting, and also makes Convenient Comas somewhat plausible. In the occasion where collapse occurs in a couple of months, a nuclear submarine, aircraft carrier, or other large vehicle could realistically be expected to weather the entire outbreak start to finish in perfect isolation and safety. Characters may also assume that their portable radios have infinite reception and frequency range, and local dead air means a completely global collapse. The audience may not need to speculate about this, if a Spreading Disaster Map Graphic crops up in the opening credits. Another common staple of the Zombie Apocalypse is that the zombies are often not the most dangerous enemy that a survivor will face. It's usually other survivors, power-hungry maniacs or regular-hungry people who want to attack you to get at your food and shelter. Sometimes Humans Are the Real Monsters will occur (after all, a zombie is just a degraded human!) Subtrope of Our Zombies Are Different. A member of The Undead trope family. See Night of the Living Mooks for cases where zombies don't threaten the end of the world. See also Zombie Gait, Everything's Deader with Zombies. Raising the Steaks is what happens when humans are not the only creatures that can be infected by The Virus. The zombie apocalypse is almost always a case of Guilt-Free Extermination War requiring that everybody be armed. Expect a healthy dose of Improbable Infant Survival — for despite a population of millions of children at any given time in any human population very few will become (visible) zombies — and the few that do are for audience effect. Also expect the Incongruously-Dressed Zombie to turn up for occasional comic relief. Contrast Friendly Zombie, who is not there to make an apocalypse. (Attractive Zombies also generally tend to avert this, due to Beauty Equals Goodness). The trope Zombie Apocalypse refers to any kind of undead apocalypse, with the common traits of this trope are that the undead spread rapidly, wipe out humans primarily by eating or biting them, and are usually highly infectious — even if the undead happen to resemble vampires or yet another kind of monster more than zombies. Vampire versions of this nearly always involve Feral Vampires. If you are looking for different types of Zombie, see Our Zombies Are Different. Not to be confused with Vampire Apocalypse: The Series by Derek Gunn. Sometimes the 'zombies' might be a case of the Technically-Living Zombie, but the overall narrative usually plays out the same way regardless. A Zombie Apocalypse can be considered a sort of Came Back Wrong on a very large scale. Also known as a "Zombocalypse". |

In Wonder Woman (2006) Zeus raises an undead army of Greek Heroes as his Gargareans, and commands them to violently dismantle the earth's militaries and subjugate their governments. It's rather different than most takes on this concept as they're not shambling mindless things but unkillable visibly undead unsympathetic men who end up turning on Zeus and refusing to continue their mission anyway. | |

The main plot of ParaNorman uses the supernatural variant, where the zombies are resurrected by the curse of a vengeful witch. It otherwise plays the "small band of people running from a mindless, bloodthirsty horde" plot fairly straight, with the ingenious twist that it's the outnumbered zombies who are fleeing in terror from the savage, murderous mob of living townsfolk, which, arguably, is actually much scarier than the alternative. | |

Amazingly, this even happened to The Smurfs. The Smurfs started out as a Belgian comic book, and in the first issue, "The Black Smurfs", a Smurf is infected by a disease that turns him jet-black, violent, and unable to speak. He then spreads the disease by biting other Smurfs, and Papa Smurf and the few other remaining normal Smurfs have to find a cure. This story, despite having nearly every element of the modern Zombie Apocalypse, predated Night of the Living Dead by nine years. When the story was adapted for the animated series (see below), the color of the "zombie" Smurfs was changed from black to purple, presumably to avoid any accusations of racism. The Papercutz translation of the original comic book story to English also changes the infected Smurfs to purple. Also, purple allows for more shading and greater visibility. Gary explains the events of the first issue, Les Schtroumpfs Noirs, here. The original story also serves as the Origins Episode for the comics version of Grouchy Smurf — he was the Patient Zero who initially spread the infection, and retained some of the anti-social tendencies after the disease was cured. (In the animated version, Grouchy already exists, and Lazy is the first Smurf infected.) | |

Highschool of the Dead is about a group of teenagers who're forced to escape their school as it quickly becomes overrun by zombies, during a sudden and unexplained outbreak. But they quickly learn that their school was only the beginning. Yet, despite the grim sounding nature of its narrative, it's often offset by bits of comedy and fanservice. | |

Sluggy Freelance gives a quite elegant and reasonable-looking explanation for why zombies must eat brains (and other organs as well): as dead corpses, zombies are decomposing all the time, but are able to regenerate eaten parts. So if zombies want to keep their intelligence, they simply must eat brains. Or, to put it another way: "To keep our wits about us we need to eat the wits about us." Additionally, the comic also address the issue as to why zombies do not attack other zombies: Also worth noting that Sluggy has so far had: straightforward ordinary zombies; people turned into socially dysfunctional geek zombies by brain-eating mosquitoes; people (but mostly animals) turned into relentless flesh-eating zombies by subliminal messaging; ghouls from another dimension which were treated with similar tropes to zombies but turned out to be of different origins; military research into weaponising zombies; and a zombie-themed restaurant. Not in that order. |

Franken Fran has a zombie outbreak on an island. But it's a Deconstruction. Why? It's actually a disease, and its victims are unable to talk or do anything about it. Fran does note that they're all going to be killed by the survivors if she doesn't do anything soon, but not only was she bitten and forced to detach her head from her body in order to cure herself without being infected, but the chapter ends before she can actually do anything about that or the other victims. | |

The Walking Dead is a comic book that follows Rick Grimes, an Atlanta sheriff who Slept Through the Apocalypse, as he tries to find a safe place for his family and a rotating cast of other survivors. Since it is a series perpetuated by Rule of Drama, any safe haven is a Hope Spot at best, and Rick's life is perpetually a From Bad to Worse scenario. The narrative only follows Rick's story, so it is unknown how bad the apocalypse is, but the zombies have at least overrun the East coast of the United States. The zombies follow typical Romero rules.The Walking Dead is a unique case of the Zombie Apocalypse setting. Firstly, the zombies are presented as more like a natural disaster than a consistent threat: the true conflict of the series comes from interactions with fellow survivors and other group members. Secondly, bites do not infect people, everyone who dies with their brain intact re-animates.. Thirdly, the USA as a nation state collapsed long before the story starts, leaving people as scattered, nomadic scavengers. Finally, walkers seem to have good hearing and smell but poor eyesight. This functions as a double-edged sword: on one hand, walkers are drawn to gunfire and thus survivors must be careful about use of firearms, but on the other hand, it is possible to sneak around zombies provided you stay out of sight and don't attract attention, placing more emphasis on stealth and melee combat. This overall makes the idea of a widespread outbreak more realistic and plausible, while addressing commonly cited issues people have with the setting. | |

Zombies are an Iconic feature of Gaia Online. Gaia has not one, but two Zombie Apocalypse events (one traditional, one involving Killer Rabbits), as well as a Vampire war that was functionally identical to a Zombie Invasion. In addition, Gaia has released two item based Zombie themed skins, and later brought back even more zombies for the Olympics (although they're created through a serum rather than The Virus). The Zombies introduced for the Olympics played a part in the 2K8 Halloween event, where they were referred to as Glompies. They killed members of the other three teams by hugging them to death. | |

The Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Impulse" has the crew coming across a drifting Vulcan spacecraft whose crew have been affected by the Trellium-D they were mining from nearby asteroids. The insanely aggressive Vulcans stagger after the crew through darkened corridors growling incoherently and, while their bite is not contagious, T'Pol is affected by the Trellium, becoming a danger to the others. | |

The Simpsons: "Treehouse of Horror III" has a segment involving Bart getting a book from the "Occult Section" of the school library and attempting to reanimate deceased family cat Snowball I with it; he accidentally reanimates the human graveyard instead. In a "Treehouse of Horror XX" segment, a tainted Krusty burger causes a 28 Days Later-style outbreak, which leads to the Simpsons barricading themselves inside their house, where they learn that Bart is immune. The zombie hordes burst in, the family escapes, Homer gets bitten but it hardly makes much difference, and Bart gets to cure the masses by bathing in their soup. |

MythBusters devoted an episode to surviving an attack by a zombie horde. Among their findings: an axe is a more effective weapon than a shotgun, and pushing your buddy into their numbers may give you a better chance of escaping yourself.

In the Patternist series, a sci-fi version of this happens when the starship Clay's Ark returns to Earth contaminated with an alien virus that turns humans into predatory savages. While not literally undead, and still possessing some intelligence and cunning, the "Clayarks" as they are called are basically zombies in all but name, including the ability to spread their disease to others creating more of their kind. Eventually, they overrun the world and destroy civilization, except for fiefdoms controlled by the psychic "Patternists". | |

Friday The 13th The Jason Strain has Jason, while a "special guest" on a Deadly Game, being abducted by scientists, who want to replicate his regenerative abilities and immortality; Jason wakes up partway through the vivisection, rampages through the lab and is exposed to an experimental virus which reacts negatively with him, giving him the ability to reanimate his victims as zombies. Thousands of deaths later the virus is cured and Jason's rid of his new powers. Notably headshots don't stop the zombies — the head needs to be completely eradicated in order for them to be fully (re-)killed. Also, Jason fights a shark in reference to Zombi 2. | |

The series Crossed is a 28-days series done with Garth Ennis' subtle touch. The infected like to rape people to death and do other absolutely horrific things. They do not lose their intelligence and they can talk. Oh, boy do they talk. The crossed will prey on each other if there are no uninfected around, and they get bored. Ennis calls this the most fucked up thing he's ever done. In many ways, the work feels like Ennis read all those articles that explains why a Zombie Apocalypse wouldn't work in real life (See the Cracked example below) and decided to painstakingly address every single point: The military saving the day? All attempts of the army to control the plague ended in colossal failure. The initial viral breakout is concentrated on a single place where it could be easily contained? Every country had a Patient Zero and all the mass infection happened on the same day, late dubbed C-Day. The gradual infection taking enough time to be prevented? All the infected succumbed in a record time. In one hour London had fallen to the plague and in three weeks, the entirety of the United Stated was overrun with the infected. A cure is somehow created? All attempts to study the plague ended up with the scientific personnel getting infected and so on. |

D.Gray-Man: Parodied. The Science Department created Komuvitamin D in order to help people work overtime, however it turned them into zombie-like people instead. The zombie arc was played mostly for comedy but there is one scene where it is discovered that a ghost of a girl experimented on didn't want the Black Order to leave and infected them so they would stay forever as mindless infected people. However, Komui starts reciting the names of all the kids that died from experimentation by the Black Order in order to find out her name, telling her that even if they leave, they will never forget her. It doesn't stay serious for long. | |

In Stand Still, Stay Silent, the zombies are the horribly mutated victims of a sickness that automatically kills most of its victims. The resulting creatures can aggregate into bigger creatures and seem to be of the Perpetual-Motion Monster type. The world had a The Magic Comes Back episode after the initial outbreak, which is one of the hints towards the disease possibly being partly magical in nature. | |

Hooves of Death features this as the setting, with an added helping of Unicorns for good measure. Despite adorable cartoon unicorns on the side of humanity, the hordes of undead are just as persistent as ever, and the genre's dangers like being ripped apart by zombies or refugee camps from lack of food remain always hover over the characters. Judging by a flashback, the zombies' ultimate origin might be equally as magical as the unicorns themselves. | |

Attack on Titan contains many of the hallmarks of the trope, with the constant threat of humanity being devoured by a mindless horde of humanoid creatures being only one problem. Dot Pixis repeatedly predicts that humanity will be its own worst enemy, with food shortages and limited space creating ever-present dangers of starvation or civil war. His grim prediction comes within days of coming true, as the crisis within Wall Rose leaves the refugees starving and on the verge of violent rebellion. The Titans are essentially enormous zombies, with most mindlessly shambling about in their search for human flesh and only possible to bring down by inflicting major damage to the back of the neck. There's also the fact that Titans are transformed humans, and the only way to kill them is to sever the spinal column. The Beast Titan is a being capable of infecting human victims, leaving the horrifying possibility that anyone could become a Titan without warning. While not strictly undead, Titans lack many of the hallmarks of living beings and make about as much sense as a zombie in terms of how they function. The story gradually moves away from this though as it becomes apparent that the people in the Walls are not the last remnants of humanity and the Titans are more of a finite, organic weapon being used against them by another human faction rather than some infinite supply of creatures acting on their own. The mindless Titans are completely cleared from Paradis Island about a year after the Battle of Trost and the story then becomes more about human-warfare than the Titan invasion. |

Although they are not real, in an episode of Spaced, "Art", Tim takes some bad speed and plays Resident Evil 2, essentially making him hallucinate a zombie attack throughout the whole episode. The Twiglets he ate at the party didn't help either. | |

The Cracked website has dedicated a few lists to analyzing a possible zombie apocalypse in real life. This article explains the ways it could happen and how likely it is. This article debunks the lethality of a zombie apocalypse, showing how it would never get very far. A notable example is pointing out how rabies doesn't exactly sweep through the world, so why would zombie infections? Covering all the bases: in the event that it does happen, this article discusses how Hollywood Tactics would promptly get you zombified. This article examines the appeal of zombie invasions. |

SCP Foundation: Several SCP objects can potentially trigger this, especially SCP-008, which specifically invokes the trope. Additionally, SCP-093 allows access to a world where something like this has already happened; though the "zombies" are faceless, legless horrors, produced by a Sufficiently Advanced Alien, that have absorbed so many people that by this point they're the size of buildings. | |

Xombie is a series of animated web shorts, trade paperbacks, and web comics that deals with the war between xombies, zombies, and humans. The schtick is that zombies are your average, run-of-the-mill reanimated dead, whilst xombies are corpses that retain their former intelligence, gain enhanced physical strength, some kind of crazy weapon, and high Animal Empathy. The original shorts revolved around the xombie Dirge and his dog Cerberus protecting a young girl (Zoe), on her way to the last human settlement. | |

The Adventures of Dr. McNinja's titular Dr. McNinja has faced one, of course. Zombie ninjas, no less. And zombie Ben Franklin. The zombies are contained thanks to McNinja and the mayor of the town (who is secretly a time-traveling survivor of a future ravaged by this very apocalypse) having set up anti-zombie defences for the city. McNinja is convinced the zombies have risen in revenge for him mass-murdering them in the previous storyline (for the greater good, of course). However, it is revealed the zombies are just a side-effect of a resurrection drug used by the clone of Ben Franklin after he was murdered in the previous storyline. The resurrection itself actually turns out to be part of a larger plan by Dracula. It's that kind of comic. | |

Higurashi: When They Cry: The justification for the Plan 34 massacre is that the Hate Plague Hinamizawa Syndrome could cause a Russo-style Zombie Apocalypse if it started spreading out of control. The manga-only chapter Onisarashi-hen shows precisely what happens when Plan 34 fails and the disease breaks quarantine: aside from a few isolated cases, life goes on as normal. The person who created Plan 34 deliberately lied about how dangerous the Syndrome was in order to get it approved. Higurashi Kira's second episode features a fog that zombifies the residents of Hinamizawa by brainwashing them and making them act hostile towards those unaffected by the fog. The fog was created by — you guessed it — Miyo Takano. The Kaku special is even closer to an actual Zombie Apocalypse than anything else in the series. |

Space☆Dandy's fourth episode is about a zombie outbreak at a hospital where Meow is admitted after he gets bitten by a zombie alien, leading to your typical (yet surprisingly frightening for such a light-hearted comedy series) fight for survival for the main characters. Halfway through the episode, all the main characters get bitten and turned (yes, even the robot QT, because they live in an age where robots can be zombified), and by the end, the infection spreads across the entire universe. In a hilarious twist, this turns out to be the best thing to happen to the universe; as detailed by the Lemony Narrator, there's no more death, war, or discrimination now that every living thing in existence is undead, and the heroes even find a more positive outlook on their undeaths by eating yogurt instead of flesh, thinking of themselves as "fermenting" instead of "rotting", and mooching off their own life insurance. | |

Schlock Mercenary: A zombie apocalypse is mentioned offhand in a footnote. A series of natural disasters and poor city planning took a worse turn when the flood got to the city's reserve of moisture-activated emergency-resuscitation nanites. We see a small-scale one in the comic, once again involving nanites. A secret government project hijacked medical nanites to put mind-clones of their own soldiers in the bodies of civilians. But the whole thing was a prototype and the heroes were trying to block it, so most of the people just became mindlessly violent that were easily dispatched instead of intelligent and dangerous special forces soldiers. And then the government blamed the whole thing on the victims by claiming they had illegal technology that got out of control. |

In Exalted, this is one of the favored tactics of the more militarily inclined Deathlords. High level Necromancy can raise corpses en masse, and certain spells can even corrupt an area to the point that the dead will rise of their own accord. Eye and Seven Despairs, one of the Deathlords, has even pioneered a zombie plague that works on its own accord, but is too busy tormenting the reincarnations of people who screwed with him in the First Age to actually deploy it. | |

Rhinoceros is a play by French author Eugène Ionesco that revolves around people spontaneously becoming rhinocerotes. They're destructive, but not violent, and one must apparently choose to become one (or at least not actively choose not to). Though mostly comedic, it still has the feel of a Zombie Apocalypse, not least because there's only one man left standing at the end. | |

The Newsflesh series by Mira Grant (pseudonym of Seanan McGuire), in which bloggers and geeks are the only reason that humanity survived the Rising. Subverts and lampshades lots of related tropes, while playing others straight (notably zombie animals: any mammal over 40 pounds will reanimate upon death). | |

Zombo had this as a background in the far future, where a zombie apocalypse is sweeping through the galaxy, and being hushed up by the government. The eponymous Zombo is a human/zombie hybrid (DON'T TRY TO THINK ABOUT IT) created by the government to fight back. Zombies personalities are exactly the same as when they were alive, except they now crave human flesh. It's a weird story, even by 2000AD standards... | |

The Marvel Universe comic Marvel Zombies, spun off from Ultimate Fantastic Four, fuses this with the Super Hero genre, to transform the superpowered characters into intelligent, Russo-style zombies. Zombiism in this series causes decay and an incredibly powerful craving for non-zombified human flesh. Although the virus can infect anyone, the super-powered zombies still keep their powers, and thus quickly overwhelm and devoured all the defenseless, normal humans. The series starts on a world where they're the only ones left, having already hunted down and eaten every last non-zombie person on the planet.In addition, Marvel Zombies discusses why they do not turn on each other; zombie flesh is unappetizing, and flesh imbued with the Power Cosmic is more nourishing to the zombie-ized superheroes. Also, the zombies are able to stay sane and focused after they have just eaten, though it is later revealed that the hunger also goes away if they go without eating flesh for a sufficient amount of time, making it more like a drug addiction. Later on, they're attacking the main Marvel universe. Good thing Aaron Stack is a robot with chainsaw hands... A later series also hints that the zombie virus is sentient, with various zombified characters referring to it as "the Hunger Gospel". Amusingly, this was actually itself made fun of in Marvel Zombies 5, in which the characters go to the real world and talk about how the trope itself makes little sense. | |

2000 AD: Zombo had this as a background in the far future, where a zombie apocalypse is sweeping through the galaxy, and being hushed up by the government. The eponymous Zombo is a human/zombie hybrid (DON'T TRY TO THINK ABOUT IT) created by the government to fight back. Zombies personalities are exactly the same as when they were alive, except they now crave human flesh. It's a weird story, even by 2000AD standards... Previous to Crossed Ennis wrote a Judge Dredd / Strontium Dog crossover zombie apocalypse story called "Judgement Day". The necromagus Sabbat has zombies attack every Mega-City on Earth, overrunning five (which Dredd has nuked) and killing three billion before being stopped. Mega-City One's response to the zombies, by the way, is "Estimate sixty million plus! OPEN FIRE!" The Dark Judges in Judge Dredd have been shown to employ a slightly different version on occasion. Namely, introducing the "dead fluids" that they normally use to prepare their host bodies into a civilian population will turn those afflicted into half-dead, Ax-Crazy zombies. Another 2000 AD strip, Defoe, involves a motley crew of adventurers fighting zombies in the 17th century using weapons provided by Isaac Newton and Robert Hook. |

Pathfinder: One of the potential effects of failing your save when using one of the powers granted by the Codex of Infinite Planes is for every living thing in an area of up to twelve miles of you dropping dead and rising as undead creatures of a type determined by their combat rating — CR 1-5 creatures rise as zombies, CR 6-10 creatures as ghouls, CR 11-15 creatures as wights and all stronger creatures as mhorgs — all of which are uncontrolled and ravenous for flesh. Appropriately, this outcome is referred to as "Zombie Apocalypse" in the rules. In a spectral variant, humanoids killed by a wraith or a spectre arise as new undead of the same kind under their killer's control, remaining that way until their maker is destroyed. Should this happen, they become full wraiths or spectres themselves — and gain the power to create spawn of their own. A small group of such entities, if left unchecked, can quickly grow into a dangerous plague. |

The final act is a Hold the Line action to prevent civilization from being destroyed against an onslaught of slow moving, dumb, but relentless horde of opponents that are afflicted with a highly contagious virus that infects one of the good guys and turns it against his friends.

Dungeons & Dragons: Zombies are simply mindless, reanimated corpses with no risk of infection, and are among the least dangerous of The Undead. However, there are quite a few undead with the "create spawn" ability, and several of them are incorporeal. The "Infectious Zombie" template was provided in the 4th-edition supplement Open Grave. Unfortunately, actual rules for the zombie plague were not, despite being alluded to in the template. In the previous edition, wights are probably the closest thing to more traditional zombies, though they had to actually kill their victims in order to turn them. A modified version of the infamous "locate city bomb" theoretically allows the PCs to One-Hit Kill every level 1 commoner in a 10-mile-per-caster-level radius with Level Drain, which has the side effect of causing them to come back as wights and slaughter everyone who survived the initial attack. The "Viral Deathspawn" template from d20 Modern — Apocalypse can be used in 3.5 D&D without modification (not that you should want to). It is worth noting, however, that Viral Deathspawn have only a -2 to their Intelligence score, meaning you can potentially have "zombies" smart enough to understand logistics, chain of command, sneak around, potentially use weapons and traps. Greyhawk includes a zombie variant known as a "Son of Kyuss", an aggressive zombie with green worms crawling about in its eye sockets. If the worms land on someone, they burrow under that person's skin and attempt to reach the brain, at which point the victim becomes another Son of Kyuss. Given the nature of some of the beings in the game, these creatures are probably too weak to cause a full-scale apocalypse, but they can easily wipe out an entire village of zero-level humans. In the 3.5 edition book Elder Evils, there's the World Born Dead, Atropus, whose coming is marked by the undead rising from their graves in a zombie apocalypse. His coming may cause anyone who dies by any means (not just killed by a zombie) to rise as a zombie (or skeleton if there's not enough flesh for a zombie). When Atropus gets close enough to the planet, anyone who's dead will reanimated as a skeleton or zombie by tearing out of their graves even if they were killed years ago. The fifth edition sourcebook for Ravenloft Retooled Falkovnia from a military dictatorship engaged in pointless, doomed wars with its vastly superior neighbours, into a military dictatorship under siege from armies of the living dead, who march out of the Mists every new moon. The people could, in theory, just leave and escape the zombies, but the Darklord, Vladeska Drakov, would rather die and take everyone else with her than admit defeat and has attempted "deserters" impaled. |

Comes up in Galaxy of Fear: City of the Dead. Long ago the people of Necropolis killed a witch's son, and she cursed them, saying that if they did not respect the dead, the dead would rise and destroy them. A mad scientist, looking to create an army of zombies, started raising corpses using a serum. The resulting undead follow orders and don't bite, but are tremendously strong and tireless. He ended up applying a lot of the serum to the massive graveyards, besieging the Necropolitans. The heroes were able to come up with a counterserum which they applied liberally to all the undead — it's a children's book, but this serum simply turned zombies back into corpses which then had to be reburied. | |

iZombie: Liv is afraid of one happening, or inadvertently starting one herself. But because zombies retain their intelligence so long as they can occasionally eat brains, the spread of zombies is depicted as more akin to a vampire infestation. Some people, particularly those dying of incurable illnesses, choose to be turned into zombies in order to live forever, while others are turned against their will by zombies looking to gain leverage over them (i.e. they have to eat brains in order to remain human, brains ain't easy to come by, and the person who turned them just so happens to be a brain smuggler...). | |

Wicked Ones: Undead Awakening includes rules for running one of these, with the mindless hordes being directed by the more intelligent undead Player Characters. The apocalypse isn't necessarily zombies though, as how exactly the undead work is up to the players. They could be simply be rotting corpses driven by an infection that spreads by bite, or they could be stranger things such as flaming skeletons who make more of themselves by immolating the corpses of the dead. | |

Respawn of the Dead asks what would happen if a Zombie Apocalypse took place in the Team Fortress 2 universe (long before the Scream Fortress event that let players use cosmetic items to turn into zombies or the "Wave 666" mission, which is a rather literal armed zombie invasion). The answer is that in spite of the game's darkly comedic setting, things would get really horrific (and really heartbreaking) really fast. In short, one of the Medics elects to recreate the technology behind respawning, which goes very bad in a big hurry. | |

According to the Demononlogy page in Dan and Mab's Furry Adventures, one becomes undead only if they die within 24 hours of receiving a scratch or bite from an undead creature. This implies that the wound itself is not automatically fatal, and that if one died more than 24 hours after receiving it they will stay dead. | |

If they succeed it will result in the dead rising from the grave all over the world and consuming the flesh of the living. It's not unheard of for Keepers to adapt the system to play zombie apocalypse survival campaigns, far removed from the Cthulhu Mythos and with a 1920s twist, especially as the 7th Edition core book provides stats for many classical horror monsters including zombies. |

The Zombie Hunters Reconstructions this against the backdrop of a near-future Post-Apocolypse. It's been a few years since The Virus nearly wiped out the human race and turned Earth into a Crapsack World, where multiple subspecies of The Undead roam freely. The known remnants of humanity and government have settled on an Island Military Base, to attempt to Find the Cure! and rebuild society, which would be fine if it weren't for the tensions between the two castes, uninfected and Infected. The Infected are a minority population of Zombie Infectee Action Survivors who contracted a dormant form of the virus due to low exposure at close proximity. Highly contagious, they can infect others through their own bodily fluids, and will inevitably reanimate after death. Consequently, Infected are both segregated from and forbidden from romancing the uninfected. They're also required to wear identifying armbands and ID tags, pass through checkpoints, and obey curfews while among uninfected, and the young and unskilled are exploited as highly-expendable, underequipped, yet vital Disaster Scavengers. The story revolves around a motley, dysfunctional crew of these so-called "Zombie Hunters", living within the margins of their Dystopian society, and training in an older Half-Human Hybrid Token Heroic Orc (who's contempt for his station parallels their own) while trying not to get eaten on the job. | |

Heavily subverted in Dead Heat, a cops vs. zombies movie with a Whodunnit to Me? plotline. Police detective Treat Williams dies in the line of duty, but is brought back temporarily with a resurrection device concocted by the corrupt scientist he was investigating. No apocalypse is forthcoming and no flesh/brain-eating ensues, as the zombies retain their free will if they're revived immediately after death and are compliant Mooks if resurrected a bit later. | |

The Flash (2014): Bloodwork, a "meta vampire" who acts as the Arc Villain of the first half of Season 6, sets about trying to "save everyone from death" by infecting people with his mutated blood acting like The Virus. In this case, however, the infected are completely under his control and become his Hive Mind, otherwise they act just like regular sci-fi zombies (without the hunger for human flesh at least). Bloodwork's final plan is to use the heroes' particle accelerator to infect the entire city (maybe even the entire world) in one go. | |

In Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shamballa, the Gate inexplicably turns a group of Thule Society soldiers into zombies. They also have thick suits of armor. The Big Bad has some knowledge of alchemy, and so she's able to control the zombies when she passes through the Gate. This results in armored, machine-gun-wielding zombies with militaristic capabilities. Badassity ensues. About their only real weakness is that they possess the zombie gait. | |

Deconstructed in Handling the Undead, which explores how society would react if dead people actually came back to life, and without the craving for brains that makes it so easy to just kill them all. (The zombie violence is rare and seems to stem more from their being unaware of their actions and consequences.) The first thing that happens is that the government calls an emergency meeting and decides what terminology to use, deciding on "reliving" because it sounds so much more pleasant than "zombies". A memorable subplot follows the grieving mother of a recently deceased young boy, fighting to hide her mindless zombie child from the authorities. | |

Tokyo Zombie is a 2005 Japanese live-action Zom-Com about a pair of bumbling Jujitsu practitioners where zombies of the shambling variety first appear by popping out of a mountainous pile of garbage, toxic waste and discarded bodies called Black Fuji. Within 5 years all of Japan is covered in zombies except for a pyramid-shaped building inside a wall where rich people have gathered for safety and to amuse themselves with zombie-on-zombie as well as zombie-on-human fights to the undeath. | |

Putting them down was the greatest challenge of Klaus' Empire creating career. It was later revealed that those revenants were just a small percent of the infected, and the rest look and act like any other person, even though they're mind-slaves to the Other. Tarvek said that the "zombie-like" Revenants were an unforeseen and rare exception, and helped to hide the nature of more numerous non-shambler Revenants. | |

Ashes of the Past does a variation of this to fit the setting. Early on during the first chapter of the Orange Islands arc, an entire island made of limestone spontaneously reanimated into a few million Kabuto (one of which Misty caught) and Cradily. As it turns out, Altomare is built on limestone. This allows Annie and Oakley to use the DMA on the exposed bedrock and unleash a Fossil Pokémon Apocalypse comprising of every fossil Pokémon in the history of the franchise onto the entire city. It forced Ash to summon every Pokémon on his team that was available along with all of Brock and Misty's Pokémon in order to keep it at bay, and it's implied that even with the aid of all the trainers who were in town for the festival, they would've eventually been overwhelmed had Ash and the Latis not broken the damn machine. | |

Around the time The Walking Dead (2010) came out and was a big hit, there was a FedEx commercial which showed a horde of zombies attacking a gas station/convenience store. Four survivors were barricaded inside: an Asian woman in a suit and two men bending over a third. He is lying on the floor, sweating and feverish and about to turn. One of the men is saying to his reluctant friend, "we have to do it, or he'll turn into a zombie and eat us". Just then there's a knock at the back door, and a chipper clean-cut young FedEx delivery man shows up with "a package for Dr. Lee". "The antidote" the scientist screams joyously. As the two disconcerted men look on, the FedEx employee looks at the man on the floor and asks with casual concern "He okay?" | |

Richard Matheson's 1954 book I Am Legend, while it was about vampires and not zombies, is an important precursor to the genre. Matheson's novel was adapted into the films The Last Man on Earth, the most faithful adaptation, and later into The Ωmega Man, which apes the then-recent Night of the Living Dead (1968) to a degree and turns the vampires into Luddite photophobic albino mutants produced by biological warfare. The most 2007 adaptation, I Am Legend, has the infected more like an odd cross between zombies and vampires. | |

BattleTech is not immune to this, having launched the Necromo Nightmare campaign where a small unit is sent to a mysteriously silent world to uncover what happened to the last recon team sent down there. The circumstances can be summed up as Word of Blake war crimes (releasing a biological plague on the planet that destroys higher mental functions and reduces people to mindlessly attacking non-infected) meeting Capellan Confederation war crimes (creating The Broken, a tormented, insane defense AI with the ability to copy voices and take over empty Battlemechs). This ends up creating zombie encounters on both the infantry and 'Mech scale, thanks to a combination of mindless horde tactics and enemies being far more resilient than normal. | |

Not the first fanfic to present a zombie apocalypse, but Zombies uses this trope as the backbone of the plot. Its one big video game crossover and the Zombie Apocalypse is quickly wrecking civilization, and the monarchs who attempt to deal with it are summarily killed off for their efforts. Humorously, the Mushroom Kingdom is imminently threatened due to their dependence on Mario & Luigi. The kingdom, just like the franchise, is a big, army-less nation completely susceptible to attack by MUSHROOMS WITH LEGS and TURTLES. What happens when an unstoppable virus starts turning the Mushroom people into flesh-eating monstrosities? |

As a result, rabid hordes of lunatics hunt down the few remaining normal people in the ruins of the civilization; a very strong similarity with this trope. | |

Happened in Fire Sea, third book of The Death Gate Cycle. In this case the effect was not pandemic but might as well have been (almost all the zombies were necromancers in life and simply animated every corpse they came across) and rather than being mindless they were sentient but Ax-Crazy with hatred for the living (except for Kleitus, the leader of said undead, who was still Ax-Crazy but also smart enough to have vision- he was gunning for ruling an entire zombified universe.) Mercifully, they were contained on just one world of the series multiverse at the end of the novel, and in the climactic volume Kleitus was killed in battle and the rest of the undead were destroyed by what could best be described as "cosmic reshuffling". | |

Flight of the Living Dead (2007) is a zombie movie which was clearly inspired by Snakes on a Plane, since it takes place in the confines of a commercial airliner. The film's zombies follow the Russo mould, in that they can move faster than a shamble, but the incubation time for the virus varies wildly — some are infected and do not turn until a good while afterwards, whereas some are zombified almost as soon as they die. | |

The second OVA of My Hero Academia has a survival training exercise, with Class 1-A of the UA competing alongside a group of four students from Isami High. One of them is a guy whose Quirk is called, appropriately enough, "Zombie Virus". He unleashes it by spreading out pink gas, infecting almost everyone (including his own classmates), but then gets infected himself when he's bitten by a zombified Bakugou. The infected become chalk-white, lose their eyes, along with most functions of their brains, gain Super-Strength and Zombie Gait, randomly use their Quirks, are Nigh-Invulnerable, can be fooled into thinking someone is a zombie, and retain some aspect of their personality. In the end, the only ones not infected are Midoriya, Todoroki, Uraraka and Ashido, who retreat themselves to a cave to plan a counterattack. But when they do so, the infected return to normal, revealing the effect was only temporary. Bakugou is not happy about this and attacks Midoriya in retaliation. | |

Wonder Woman: The sixth annual for Wonder Woman (1987) was a Pulp Magazine magazine homage, specifically to Robert E. Howard's horror tinged tales, and followed an adolescent Diana trying to stop a zombie apocalypse. In Wonder Woman (2006) Zeus raises an undead army of Greek Heroes as his Gargareans, and commands them to violently dismantle the earth's militaries and subjugate their governments. It's rather different than most takes on this concept as they're not shambling mindless things but unkillable visibly undead unsympathetic men who end up turning on Zeus and refusing to continue their mission anyway. |

Unhallowed Metropolis: The backstory puts a subtle but significant spin on this trope by having the first Plague outbreak occur in 1905. This is also the kind where anyone who dies may come back — although it's only a sure thing if they died of a bite from a zombie, there's a chance of it for any corpse, with the odds depending on the surrounding environment. It's also hinted that zombies might be the least of the world's problems. Bizarre wastelands expanding throughout the world, reports of unnameable horrors and mind-rending blasphemies in the jungles of Africa and beneath the streets of London, hints that the people of the Crimean peninsula have undergone an unwholesome transformation that makes the degenerate ghouls and feral vampires look tame by comparison, Hong Kong somehow having become a true necropolis where zombies can survive long past when they should have desiccated into immobility... clues abound that the Zombie Apocalypse is just the most visible symptom of something having gone deeply wrong with the world on some fundamental level. |

The Sliders had an alternate dimension Earth, where, get this, a new "fat burning" medicine causes a Zombie Apocalypse. The drug was meant to "eat away" fat and an antidote would be taken to end the effect... However something went horribly wrong and millions of people started to hunger for fat, even if that fat was on another human. For some reason these zombies also became very sensitive to light, possibly having something to do with the zombies becoming excessively pale. Also, the zombies aren't of the risen dead variety, but will die without feeding as the medicine — possibly an engineered virus considering it transfers with getting bitten — will simply eat them alive if they don't get fat to their system.. | |

It's one big Shout-Out of The Walking Dead (2010), though not a true crossover. While it follows a similar storyline to the TV series, there are notable differences. There are characters that share names with TWD characters, but they are not the same people, and the story isn't set in Georgia. | |

In A Song of Ice and Fire, wights are undead zombies created by, and apparently under the full command of, the Others... who are essentially ice demons/fey considered myths by most of Westeros. Wights have eerie, blue-glowing eyes and are particularly vulnerable to fire, yet are nonetheless persistent fighters that are hard to put down. Wildlings aka the Free Folk north of the Wall (where the Others are located) burn their dead to prevent them from returning as wights. As the series begins, the Others are becoming more aggressive and amassing large armies of wights from Free Folk towns and settlements they have overrun, seemingly in preparation for an invasion of the kingdoms south of the Wall. | |

The Unexplored Summon://Blood-Sign has a variant in which each individual "zombie" is a copy of an Eldritch Abomination with the power to easily destroy the world. In the seventh volume, the White Queen demonstrates the ability to turn humans into copies of herself by biting them, with the copies being fully subservient to her. Though unlike most Zombie Apocalypses, she can't infect just anyone — she can only infect humans with an innate disposition to being easily possessed by spirits. | |

In Herbert West–Reanimator, Dr. Herbert West devises a chemical that will bring dead people back to life. Unfortunately, the subjects either die (again) within minutes or turn into flesh-eating creatures that share more than a slight resemblance with your average zombie (they retain normal human strength and speed though). He eventually gets better at reanimating, creating an intelligent zombie who can reanimate more bodies. The intelligent zombie then leads an army of other zombies to kill Dr. West. | |

The World of Darkness games actually subvert the zombie apocalypse. While Zombies do exist, they're not exactly common, and aren't normally infectious. There was an adventure done by Thomas "Wanderer" Wilde (best known for his Resident Evil plot guide) that took this trope head-on, called The Last Escape. While there isn't necessarily an infectious means of Zombie Apocalypse, certain ghosts and spirits in the New World of Darkness have a chain of Numina that allow them to jump into a corpse, then jump into any corpse that corpse kills, then possibly invite some friends along... |

Magic: The Gathering: This sort of thing occurs from time to time, although Magic zombies are not The Virus; they cannot create more of their own kind through infection, but are instead created from corpses by Evil Sorcerers. Thus, zombie apocalypses are generally started and directed by one or a few necromancers, generally as a way to seize power. Grixis, one of the shards of Alara, is in a successful Zombie Apocalypse, albeit with necromancers and demons at the forefront, caused by the crapping out of two types of magic good at fighting them off. Humanity, or what's left of it, is reduced to a few isolated redoubts amidst a corpse-scape haunted by the walking dead. Invoked by the Archenemy deck Bring About the Undead Apocalypse, which allows you to create a Zombie Apocalypse of your own. The Innistrad block introduces a good old fashioned zombie apocalypse, vampires and werewolves, mad scientists and their abominations, demons and, central to the block's story, all of these at once. The trope is name-dropped in the card Zombie Apocalypse, which brings back all of your dead zombies and destroys all humans. The Horde format becomes this when you build the Horde out of zombie cards. Grave Titan has zombies crawling out of its chest. Every time it attacks it gives birth to more. |

The Amazing World of Gumball: "The Joy" has Gumball and Darwin get so overly happy from a hug Richard gave that it turns into an all-out infection that turns the victim into an overly happy, grinning being that literally vomits rainbows. They end up infecting the school in a zombie-like fashion and Miss Simian, noting something off with Gumball and Darwin from the get-go, tries to find a cure. While she does find it (sad music), Gumball and Darwin jumping her before she can play it over the intercom foils her attempt. In "The Box", Anais' theory as to what's in the mysterious box that arrived at the Wattersons' doorstep is that it causes a zombie outbreak across the entire planet. As a reporter questions how it began, it then cuts to the family finding the box containing an injector and some containers of presumably mutagenic chemicals, which Richard mistakes for a squirt gun and sprays the others with. |

Rot & Ruin takes place about 15 years after an unexplained Zombie apocalypse, and while the zombies are relatively easy to kill (zombie hunters tend to make a game of it) the society is still kind of in shock, so the idea of any organised take-back-the-earth campaign fails to gain traction when it's brought up. Something of an unusual example in that while the main characters do kill Zombies, one of the main points of the book is that just because they're walking around doesn't mean they're not someone's dead relative who deserves respect | |

Zombieland uses the fast zombie variant. They aren't very clever at all except where required by the Rule of Funny, and are pretty much limited to basic functions such as turning doorknobs and climbing fences and scaffolding, putting their minds at about "pissed off monkey" level. They were created by The Virus and can spread it through bites. They're also seemingly immune to pain, leading to the first two of the lead's Rules of Zombieland: Cardio (zombies can run fast, making it important to be able to run faster) and the Double Tap (put another bullet into the head after taking one down to make sure). | |

They don't eat human flesh, but are motivated purely to kill at the White Walkers' command.

Brilliantly skewered in the 2006 film Fido, which occurs in an alternate 1950s that is in the heyday of a zombie post-apocalypse. The zombies have been tamed into domestic servitude by a control collar. This is possible because zombie bites do not cause a change. Billy Connolly plays the eponymous character, one of the most charismatic shambling corpses ever shown on the big screen. | |

The Black Lantern Corps in the story Blackest Night are a particularly nasty variation. The zombies are reanimated by flying rings that are programmed to automatically seek out corpses. As long as the rings are still worn, they can construct zombies out of almost anything, even empty skeletons, so damage to the brain doesn't kill them. They are neither slow nor stupid, regaining all the skills and abilities they had in life, including any superhuman powers. The number of Black Lanterns in existence is truly Legion, recruited from multiple different planets across the entire universe. Worst of all, while Black Lanterns do possess many elements of their former personalities, they will all kill any living thing they encounter without hesitation or remorse. They actually have to kill people to recharge their rings. One ripped out heart, filled with one of the seven emotions, equals 0.01% power restored to every ring. Not that they need the incentive. Worse yet, even though they're magic zombies revived by power rings, their bites still carry part of The Virus. Hope the rest of the universe is more savvy than Donna Troy. | |

A real apocalypse later occurs in "Krabby Patty Creature Feature" when Mr. Krabs' new experimental Krabby Patties (invented by Sandy) turn everyone into mutant Krabby Patty monsters that force every non-monster they see into eating them. SpongeBob is the only remaining survivor (while taking shelter at the Chum Bucket) when he discovers that ingesting chum causes the monster Bikini Bottomites to vomit up the Krabby Patties that transformed them and return back to normal. |

They eventually call Mr. Verres to find out if zombies are a thing in their 'verse; he says that creating undead zombies is very difficult, and even if it does work you'd just end up with "an army of broken machines that will fall apart on its own anyway." Then he admits that not-quite-zombies are much easier to make, what with mind-control, fungal spores, and so on. | |

Fullmetal Alchemist: Fullmetal Alchemist has the Cyclops Army, "lesser homunculi" released by Father. They behave a lot like zombies, but headshots don't kill them. They also eat people, and beg for "mama" and "daddy". In Fullmetal Alchemist: The Conqueror of Shamballa, the Gate inexplicably turns a group of Thule Society soldiers into zombies. They also have thick suits of armor. The Big Bad has some knowledge of alchemy, and so she's able to control the zombies when she passes through the Gate. This results in armored, machine-gun-wielding zombies with militaristic capabilities. Badassity ensues. About their only real weakness is that they possess the zombie gait. |

Brawl in the Family's third Halloween episode started with Kirby walking towards Dedede, zombified. Soon, the entire cast was zombified. They all moaned 'braaains...' and began closing in on Mother Brain from the Metroid series. Now there are a bunch of zombies roaming the land, moaning, 'braaaaaiiiinss....' (except Mother Brain, who moaned, 'Meeeee....') The zombies then found a schoolhouse and studied hard and graduated, achieving the 'brains' they wanted. Then, it turns out the characters where just telling scary stories, and Kirby was the last one to add his part to the story. He apparently tells a disgusting and creepy tale, but the comic just skips to when he says, "The End!" with a very cute face while the rest of them look nauseous. | |

Doctor Who: The two-part serial "The Empty Child"/"The Doctor Dances" is a neat twist on the Zombie Apocalypse, with alien medical nanobots encountering a dead human child, assuming that's the human baseline, and rebuilding him and all other humans they encounter as shambling corpses. The walking corpses in the earlier episode "The Unquiet Dead" are closer, but they are actually hosts for the ghost-like aliens called the Gelth. "New Earth" set in a hospital in the year 5 billion and twenty-three on, naturally enough, a New Earth which is run by cat people. Towards the end, we find out that the doctors have been growing people in an enormous area under the hospital and exposing them to various diseases from the moment of their conception, which has turned them into your common-or-garden Romero zombie. Of course, the buggers get out and mischief ensues. |

Shaun of the Dead plays the concept for laughs, while at the same time remaining faithful to the style of the Romero films. Like those films, it includes hints that zombies retain some semblance of their former personalities. It also includes a Take That! against the Twenty-Eight series. It memorably subverts the "apocalypse" part by having the military seep through and restore order within a day. It's not even clear if any country but Britain was affected. | |

Sunday Without God has a subtle and not particularly violent one. Fifteen years prior, people lost the ability to truly die, so those who did die became undead. At first, something called the "half-dead fever" sprouted up, rendering people straight into zombies, and a deceased's body and mind will still rot, driving them mad, but eventually humanity adapted and deceased people began to create their own communities to support themselves, such as Ortus, with a population of over one million undead. Of course, with no new life the world is still dying and eventually all of the living will become deceased, but it's not a violent or horrific apocalypse. | |

Red Panda Adventures supervillain Professor Zombie tended to avoid causing these, preferring to use the zombies she created as mooks she can control. She even assists in fighting an Apocalypse in season seven. However, when driven by revenge in season nine, this goes out the window as by that point all she wants is to cause as much carnage as possible and she makes at least two separate attempts to create a zombie disaster before she's stopped. | |

Deadlands has zombies, but these things are intelligent and cunning. Makes them hard to put down. Particularly if they're intact enough to be shooting back. Specifically, Deadlands has a lot of different kinds of undead monsters. The default are creatures called Walkin' Dead, which are basically Flesh Eating Zombies made through Demonic Possession; this means they are smart, quick and capable of using weaponry, up to and including guns. They don't even really need to eat meat, but do so for enjoyment. Baron LaCroix creates "Voodoo Zombies", which are, as the name implies, the Voodoo-style slow, stolid, mindlessly obedient shamblers. 'Gloms are animated piles of corpses that grow bigger by absorbing more into themselves — a variant called a Colony 'Glom can actually send out component bodies as Walkin' Dead... let's just say we'd be here a while if we tried listing them all. | |

One of Ben's Mirror Universe counterparts, Benzarro, comes from a universe that suffered this. In this case, the zombification process turned him into an expy of Bizarro. |

South Park: In "Pinkeye", a bad case of pinkeye is going around, as you might have guessed from the title. Due to some Worcestershire sauce being used to embalm Kenny, he comes back as a zombie and starts infecting people. The local doctor, when visited by some of the infected, mistakes the condition for pinkeye and prescribes some topical cream. Stan, Kyle and Cartman, with the help of Chef (who does a great Thriller bit), attempt to stop the zombie threat. "Night of the Living Homeless" displays some homeless people as zombies in a parody of Dawn of the Dead (2004). However, they're more an inconvenience than a threat (doesn't stop the adults from treating it like one, though). |

The "Viral Deathspawn" template from d20 Modern — Apocalypse can be used in 3.5 D&D without modification (not that you should want to). It is worth noting, however, that Viral Deathspawn have only a -2 to their Intelligence score, meaning you can potentially have "zombies" smart enough to understand logistics, chain of command, sneak around, potentially use weapons and traps. | |

Shiki naturally points out that if there are vampires, and they have to feed so much, then why are there still so few? Arcueid points out that A. vampires don't get along well with each other and fight a lot and B. organizations such as The Church hunting them down, so they keep a low profile and avoiding making too many minions to avoid unwanted attention. | |

Rockabilly Zombie Weekend seems to get to apocalyptic levels, as the method of transfer (government mosquito repellent sprayed over the tri-county area, plus infected mosquitoes and spiders) allows for it to randomly spread to many places at once without a single Patient Zero that can be quarantined; within a few hours, the entire area is seemingly entirely populated by a few dozen survivors, a handful of soldiers with minimal equipment, and the zombies. A CB radio check with another survivor confirms that the highways to the airport are blocked, though it's unclear if it's due to massive death and destruction or massive traffic trying to flee. | |

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt does this in the eighth episode fittingly titled "...of the Dead" which parodies most Zombie Apocalypse tropes. In a surprising aversion, the title characters not only fail to stop the zombie outbreak, but end up becoming zombies themselves.

The GURPS Infinite Worlds setting has the Gotha timelines. Those are about twenty known parallel worlds where civilization was wiped out by the "Gotha Plague": a mutant disease that causes infectees to behave like the 28 Days Later variety. It specifies that the Plague has trouble establishing itself in small communities, so civilization on these worlds is in small enclaves. The Gotha Zombies have a few differences from other zombies, though; they're semi-intelligent, and function more like a highly aggressive chimpanzee tribe in terms of organization than anything else. They're quite willing to eat zombies from other "tribes", and will even eat their own if there isn't any other food available. They also retain just enough of their memory to fall back on some tribal customs from the group they belonged to — the reason worlds with them are called the Gotha Parallels is because the first contact with such a timeline resulted in the research team nearly being devoured by infected Gothic berserkers. Other worlds have zombie Thuggees, zombie Vikings, and so on. |

Played with in Dead Winter; the city is full of zombies, but they're normally not a threat until a large number is encountered without an escape route. Other humans are far more dangerous. | |

Spoofed in an episode of Urusei Yatsura. Alien toothaches are contagious, and if the sufferer bites three or four people, the pain will go away. In short order the entire classroom is filled with crazed teenagers with swollen faces and a burning need to bite each other and any non-infected that they can. It's like a very silly Zombie Apocalypse. | |

David Wellington's Monster Island and its sequels provide Romero-style zombies with an exception: if your brain is provided with oxygen between death and before returning as a zombie, you return as an intelligent zombie which the sequels call a lich. The dead are reanimated as a result of a scientist having pierced the source of Life Energy, causing the world to overflow with life energy, reanimating the dead. The trilogy is available online. | |

School-Live! is set in the aftermath of a zombie apocalypse; while the first chapter/episode presents the series as a typical laid-back Schoolgirl Series (and the manga did run in Manga Time Kirara Forward, which is home to many series of that kind), it's revealed at the very end that this is not the case. The main characters, the self-named "School Life Club", are a group of schoolgirls living in a barricaded section of their school. It's eventually shown that the virus is airborne, resulting in individuals turning even if they're not bit. Some people are naturally immune, but the virus evolves, meaning that this immunity might not last forever. | |

In The Epic of Gilgamesh, the goddess Ishtar/Inanna tells her father that if he doesn't help her get revenge on Gilgamesh for turning down her proposition, she will break open the underworld and bring up the dead to consume the living, all of them. He, sensibly, agrees to her alternative. Had she gone through with it, it would probably have been the Ur-Example by a couple of millennia. | |

Feng Shui: The Corpse Factories in Glimpse of the Abyss are Buro-created superzombies that are markedly more intelligent than the non-infectious zombies that they create. Only five of these things exist in 2056, and if just one of them gets loose, it's Zombie Apocalypse time, particularly since the Necromantic Implanter, an arcanowave device that every corpse factory is equipped with, can be used to turn regular zombies into more corpse factories. | |

The Radiant Dawn is the story of a zombie apocalypse brought on intentionally. The Big Bad of the story is a demon lord who instructs his acolytes to summon him to Earth. However, they are unable to, as human sentience interferes with the magical forces needed to bring him from his home plane to Earth. So what's a demon worshiping acolyte to do other than Kill All Humans? The zombie apocalypse, then, is merely a means to an end for the acolytes. | |

Mighty Max had an episode where Max had to travel to Haiti to help his mother investigate the strange behavior of the locals. They had a Zombie Gait and were pretty strong, however they were possessed by slug-like symbiotes (you could kill the slug to free the victim) and tried to attach more slugs to make more "zombies". Eventually, Max finds a hive full of them and kills the Queen slug. The victims were fully aware of what they were doing, a unique trait for these zombies. | |

Arrowverse: The Flash (2014): Bloodwork, a "meta vampire" who acts as the Arc Villain of the first half of Season 6, sets about trying to "save everyone from death" by infecting people with his mutated blood acting like The Virus. In this case, however, the infected are completely under his control and become his Hive Mind, otherwise they act just like regular sci-fi zombies (without the hunger for human flesh at least). Bloodwork's final plan is to use the heroes' particle accelerator to infect the entire city (maybe even the entire world) in one go. Legends of Tomorrow: In the Season 4 episode "I Am Legends", the Fates magically raise the dead of Britain just to hunt down the Legends. The zombies in question shamble when inactive, but are incredibly fast when they set sight on a living target. |

Transformers: In a Season 3 episode the Decepticons are tricked by the Quintessons into releasing a powerful creature called the Dweller. The Dweller drains the energy of any transformer it can capture, turning them into an "energy vampire". Despite this title, they behave almost exactly like zombies — they move slowly, though not quite shambling, and drain the energy from others to make more energy vampires. They even lose all color, becoming gray and lifeless in appearance. In Transformers: Prime the first five episodes concerned the use of Dark Energon, which revived Transformers into a mindless, zombie-like state. They don't spread the virus around, and Dark Energon only affects dead cybertronians, but given that is after a galactic war, corpses are not exactly in short supply, especially not back home... The two-part Season 3 finale "The Return of Optimus Prime", has everyone affected by the Hate Plague that has spread throughout the galaxy. Optimus used the collected wisdom of the Matrix of Leadership to wipe out the plague. |

Greyhawk includes a zombie variant known as a "Son of Kyuss", an aggressive zombie with green worms crawling about in its eye sockets. If the worms land on someone, they burrow under that person's skin and attempt to reach the brain, at which point the victim becomes another Son of Kyuss. Given the nature of some of the beings in the game, these creatures are probably too weak to cause a full-scale apocalypse, but they can easily wipe out an entire village of zero-level humans. | |
