Social:Nazi zombies

From HandWiki
Short description: Horror trope
Nazi zombies are common in art and popular culture. Here they can be seen in an art exhibition by Jake and Dinos Chapman.

Nazi zombies are a horror trope found in films, video games, and comic books. Nazi zombie narratives usually feature undead Nazi soldiers resurrected to fight for the Third Reich. The book Nazisploitation!: The Nazi Image in Low-Brow Cinema and Culture described the genre as a small theme of horror films.[1]

The first Nazi zombies films King of the Zombies and Revenge of the Zombies were produced during World War II.[2] Nazisploitation began to appear concurrently in other film subgenres.[3] These include a mini-invasion of Nazi zombie films such as Shock Waves, Night of the Zombies, Zombie Lake and Oasis of the Zombies.[3][4] The increased popularity of the zombie film in the 2000s increased interest in the Nazi zombie subgenre, with films such as Horrors of War, Dead Snow, and Frankenstein's Army.[5] More modern films such as Overlord, continue the Nazi zombie film genre.[6] Nazi Zombies also feature in the Wolfenstein series, Call of Duty series, and Sniper Elite series of video games.[7]
