Zombie Horror
- Zombie horror is a sub-genre of Horror. Zombies are fictional characters which are human like, but they are dead and tend to have wounds to the face and covered in blood. The popularity of zombies in movies has led to them sometimes having been taken out of their usual element of horror and thrown into other genres, for example the comedy film Shaun of the Dead.
