Zombies are now popular thanks to The Walking Dead, George Romero, Warm Bodies and Resident Evil. However, there’s one subgenre that adds more terror: Nazi zombies. I know what you’re thinking: oh look, another zombie games/movies that has Nazis in it. Zombies may look terrifying but adding Nazis to the mix equals chaos.
Although Nazi zombies are 2nd-level subgenres, for me, they’re genres of their own. Let’s take a brief overview of Nazi zombies, shall we?
Shock Waves is the first film that started it all in 1977. Wolfenstein 3D is the first video game that ignites the franchise in video game history. Hellsing delivers the anime goodness while Marvel Zombies literally suck the minds of viewers. Outpost brings the Nazi zombies into a franchise with three movies. Dead Snow nails it with blood, gore and dark comedy. South Park: The Stick of Truth badmouths critics with utter humor, excellent gameplay and nice-written storyline at its finest. However, Call of Duty: World at War stole that idea.
If there’s anything that lacks the overall taste, it’s the Fuhrer himself. Seriously, why not add him without taking the genre seriously?
