List of Zombie Films

The following is a list of zombie films. Zombies are creatures usually portrayed as either reanimated corpses or mindless human beings, in both cases cannibalistic. While zombie films generally fall into the horror genre, some cross over into other genres, such as comedy, science fiction, thriller, or romance. Distinct sub-genres have evolved, such as the "zombie comedy" or the "zombie apocalypse". Zombies are distinct from ghosts, ghouls or vampires, so this list does not include films devoted to these types of undead.

Victor Halperin's White Zombie was released in 1932 and is often cited to be the first zombie film. However, arguments have been made that the 'somnambulism' in the German expressionist film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919) was an earlier example, involving a character in a state similar to that exhibited by zombies. The 1910 film Frankenstein features a reanimated corpse.
