Our collective zombie obsession began long before The Walking Dead premiered (although it certainly helped). In fact, it’s still going strong to this day, with creators bringing new life to stories of the undead. Zombies can serve as metaphors for our broken society or as catalysts for bringing humanity together. Sometimes they’re even kind of funny, in all their bloody, snarling glory. No matter what, zombie stories are always entertaining.

Here, we highlight some zombie TV shows and movies that are worth checking out. These are alternately bleak, hilarious and thrilling watches, meaning there’s a little something for every kind of zombie fan.

#Alive

This South Korean horror film focuses on Joon-woo (Yoo Ah-in), a video game streamer who holes up in his family’s apartment and tries to live out the apocalypse by himself as a gruesome virus consumes his city. Just as he begins to lose hope, he makes contact with a neighbor, Yoo-bin (Park Shin-hye), and the two strike up a tentative bond while helping each other fight off invading zombies. #Alive has fun with the creative methods Joon-woo and Yoo-bin use to distract and kill the undead and, as the hashtag in its title suggests, explores the power of social media in times of crisis.

Frankenstein’s Monster’s Monster, Frankenstein

Clocking in at only 32 minutes, this mockumentary-style comedy is an easy Halloween watch if you’ve got somewhere else to be afterward — trick or treating, a costume party, the candy aisle of a CVS. Actor David Harbour III (Stranger Things’ David Harbour) is hoping to learn more about his father, actor David Harbour Junior (also played by David Harbour).

So, he interviews some old colleagues, re-creates his dad’s old office space, and even uncovers lost lo-fi footage of a televised stage play DHJ did about Dr. Frankenstein (yet again played by David Harbour) and his monster (played by ... you guessed it! David Harbour). But DH3’s desire to understand his pops a little better leads to the exposing of some shocking family secrets. Somewhere between comedy sketch and theatrical satire, the film has a sense of humor that’s a little off the beaten path.

But if you’re looking for something more kooky than spooky this Halloween, Frankenstein’s Monster’s Monster, Frankenstein is just what the doctor ordered.

Interview with the Vampire

Interview with the Vampire is not only great vampire television. It is, simply, unforgettably, great television. The series, created by playwright Rolin Jones, spins a sumptuous and heart-wrenching take on Anne Rice’s 1976 novel of the same name (and the camp-tastic 1994 classic). Jacob Anderson leads this version as Louis de Pointe du Lac, a queer turn-of-the-century brothel owner who is made an immortal by the enchanting and volatile Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid). What follows is a saga of overwhelming romance, grief, betrayal, and bloodlust.
