The Golden Age in general was fond of zombies as antagonists (Solomon Grundy dates from this period, after all), but Timely in particular used a ''lot'' of them.

* Subverted in ''Webcomic/GoneWithTheBlastwave'', where the zombies are actually disguised civillians who do this to frighten away the soldiers. And not because of any political motives, either, it's just because they ''literally'' have nothing better to do in the wasteland. [[RefugeInAudacy They even place bets on it for crying out loud!]]

* In the ''WesternAnimation/{{Catscratch}}'' episode Zombie Party a Go-Go, Blik coldly disallows Waffle to part take in the party preparation, until Gordon gives him a helpful job in making dip. However, despite Waffle's incompetent nature, he picked the Scottish Book of the Dead rather than the regular blue cook book that Gordon had requested him to acquire. Consequently, he created dip that is lime greenish in colour which caused the corpses of deceased people to reanimate. Blik had recklessly let the Zombies inside, mistakenly thinking that they are the guests that he was looking for. But eventually he finds out that the undead monsters aren't the important people. Eventually, after the Zombies are done with the food, they turn on Gordon and the rest of the gang, forcing them to fight against them in order to survive.

* In Austin, TX, pranksters broke the locks on highway construction signs and altered them to read: [[ZombieApocalypse THE END IS NEAR]]! ZOMBIES AHEAD! RUN! [[WorldWarZ RUN TO COLD CLIMATES]]! [[Film/DeadSnow NAZI ZOMBIES]]! Unfortunately, this happened once during a hurricane evacuation. Nobody panicked, thankfully, but it could have been a lot worse with the evacuees who were already under stress from the possibility of having lost most of their Earthly possessions.

** ''VideoGame/{{Metroid Prime}} 2: Echoes'' starts out with Samus entering a Galactic Federation base, only to find that all of the soldiers she had been tasked with rescuing have been brutally murdered. As she investigates further, all of the corpses suddenly come back to life as undead "Dark Troopers" and start attacking her (they're kind of rubbish, though). They continue to shamble about the base even after she leaves, but they never have a significant appearance later on in the game's plot.

* When the makers of TheLordOfTheRingsOnline had to bring the barrow-wights to life, they went the traditional "rotting animate corpses" route. Wights aren't much described in Tolkien's works, but they do have a physical form (Frodo cuts off one of their hands) so going with a medieval zombie look isn't such a stretch.
* ''{{Postal}} 2'' features its own [[OurZombiesAreDifferent mad-cow-tourettes]] zombies when an inevitable apocalypse hits Paradise, causing havoc alongside terrorist attacks, insane protesters, drunken rednecks, fanatic church workers, and cats raining from the sky. [[ButForMeItWasTuesday Just one of those days.]]
