The Dead Are Undead is a fanfic crossover between Resident Evil and Bleach written by Alex McMullen.
An unusual virus spreads throughout Raccoon City and causes mass casualties, only for the recently deceased to rise up again as blood-thirsty zombies. Meanwhile, Mayuri Kurotsuchi has obtained a vial of the same virus for some "scientific research". When he realizes the implications of the virus, he tries to destroy the evidence by blowing his lab to pieces. But by then, it's too late, and the virus spreads within Soul Society too.
As the worlds of the living and the dead battle against the growing horde of undead ghouls, things get a little nasty. The people of Raccoon City try to flee their country, but improper quarantine procedures brings the infection with them. One of their planes crash lands in the middle of Karakura and then everything goes From Bad to Worse.
A brave group of Karakura locals and Raccoon City survivors band together to survive the apocalypse, but can they survive?

Be warned, keep the light on.
The Dead Are Undead provides examples of the following tropes:
- Anyone Can Die: That's right, anyone. And it doesn't exclude babies, pregnant women or even the most memorable chacters from both series.
- Better to Die than Be Killed: The ending to the school scene.
- Blood Knight: Zombie Kenpachi
- Break the Cutie: Karin experiences so many things a young girl never should.
- Died in Your Arms Tonight: The final moments of the heroes trapped in the school.
- Downer Ending: There is no happy ending.
- Driven to Suicide: Orihime and Tatsuki.
- Family-Unfriendly Death: Numerous times, but Yuzu comes to mind first.
- Gorn: So, so much. Relentless, graphic and brutal. There are no sugar coatings in this story.
- Humans Are Bastards: Quarantine comes first. Even murder is off-limits as long as the virus doesn't spread.
- Kill the Cutie: Yuzu. If you don't feel mortified by that scene you have no soul.
- Our Zombies Are Different: The undead who reside in Soul Society are unable to be killed by soul-based weapons. So zanpakuto are practically useless.
- Suicide Pact: The desperate people trapped in the school.
- Zombie Apocalypse: Well, duh, it is the end of the world.
- Zombie Infectee: There are actually quite a few. One of the first is the man in the hospital, but there are many more. The worst is Renji
