History's greatest villains have also made for some of cinema's scariest foes and the Nazi zombie movie offers a terrifyingly cathartic cinematic experience. The zombie as both allegory and a beast of carnage was popularized by the grisly classic Night of the Living Dead, and the undead's reputation as resurrected titans of the screen was cemented by the likes of Dawn of the Dead, 28 Days Later, and Shaun of the Dead.
