Definitely!
I'm willing to go back 8-10 years if necessary. I'm going to be on a panel called Good Dead Vs. Evil Dead which will talk about Recent Advances in Zombies, or well, how films like
Sixth Sense
and shows like
Angel
and
Now & Again
and
Dead Like Me
are treating the life-challenged these days....
Theo, if you haven't seen it, you MUST rent Idle Hands. It looks like an unfuckingbelievably stupid movie, and in some ways it is, but zombie stoners are the main characters, and it's actually REALLY funny. Plus -- Seth Green!
Let's see what I can pull off the top of my head, then.
28 Days Later, Resident Evil,
Medium, Ghost Whisperer, Supernatural, --wasn't there a recent
Evil Dead
remake or something?
My god, I'm old. I want to cite things that are on or past the bubble - G vs E, Kindred: The Embraced, never mind Due South.
Return Of The King
had undead in it,
Bloodrayne
is just out...
That's all I got for now.
What about The Others? It's a ghost story for sure, but told from the perspective of ghosts who believe they're being haunted because, you know, they don't know they're dead. Excellent ghost story.
Shit. I'm not really here. But ZOMBIES ARE MY FAVORITE THING!
There seems to be a site of undead movies -- I can't get to it from work.
Also, Dr. Who 2005 had an episode that falls into your category.
Van Helsing.
Also
Pirates of the Caribbean
-- I would think the cursed pirates would qualify as "life-challenged", though they're not exactly undead.
But ZOMBIES ARE MY FAVORITE THING!
in this you are very much the anti-me because zombies creep me the fuck out.
Idle Hands is fucking funny.
But ZOMBIES ARE MY FAVORITE THING!
This is just begging to be filked.
