10 Hidden Gem Zombie Horror Movies

Another more light-hearted entry on this list, 2008's Dance of the Dead throws a bunch of largely clueless teenagers into battle with the resurrected corpses from a nearby graveyard.

As for the title of this Gregg Bishop feature, that's due to all of this undead action taking place on the night of a high school prom. When said graveyard is corrupted by the local power plant, the dead begin to rise and set their sights on the living who are partying it up on prom night.

Here, there's a whole host of your usual high school stereotypes when it comes to the characters of Dance of the Dead - with most of these characters trying to get laid or forever saying totally the wrong thing at totally the wrong time.

Once Dance of the Dead gets going, the school is under attack, the zombies are conveniently susceptible to music, and there's an extremely explosive finale for this massively entertaining film. It's just a shame that this one has largely flown under the radar of even the biggest horror hounds.
