10 Zombie Movie Horror Fates Worse Than Death

7. Chased By A Zombie Stripper - Zombieland

A more light-hearted entry here, but one that in reality would be absolutely terrifying!

In terms of bringing something based more around entertainment than all-out scares, Zombieland was a breath of fresh air when it was released in 2009. Comparable to 2004's Shaun of the Dead in terms of tone and approach, the picture was a zombie movie that was vastly different to the majority of zombie flicks out there.

Of course, what Zombieland also had was an utterly phenomenal opening credits sequence, which in itself perfectly set the table for what lay ahead for audiences.

What deserves a special shout-out here, though, is the sheer fear on the face of the guy who finds himself being chased by a zombie stripper during that opening. Just look at that: that's the face of someone praying for a quick death instead of the current terror.

While any zombie sprinting after you would be enough to make most of us soil our shorts, adding a whole other level of terror to this is having that zombie be largely naked and with their boobs bouncing along.

But hey, what else can you expect when you decide to visit a strip club in the middle of a zombie pandemic?
