Netflix has many horror shows, and of the best zombie shows on Netflix, there is a lot to choose from. The best thing about the offerings on the streaming giant is that these shows come in different flavors. While there are pure horror zombie shows that follow the typical post-apocalyptic formula, there are just as many shows that blend horror with sci-fi and comedy. With some zombie series being teen dramas, there's a zombie show for all age groups. With more getting made regularly, there's likely never going to be a shortage of new Netflix zombie shows.

Following the end of the Resident Evil blockbuster movie franchise, which turned the horror source material into an action series, Netflix attempted to make something much closer to the video game series. Netflix has attempted to adapt Resident Evil three times, first with another movie, then with an animated series, and finally with the live-action 2022 series, which only lasted for one season. Unfortunately, the planned Resident Evil season 2 was canceled, so the show never got the chance to see its story to a conclusion, but Lance Reddick's performance makes Resident Evil worth watching among Netflix zombie shows.

The story takes place over two timelines, giving the viewers glimpses of what's coming in the future, but also explanations for things they might recognize in the movies or video games. The series serves as an origin story for so many of the concepts used in the franchise, and it makes for a fascinating look into the action for fans who already know their lickers from their tyrants.

Goedam is an anthology horror series about Korean myths and urban legends, with each episode focusing on a different topic, be it ghosts, zombies, or some other supernatural force. Despite having some questionable effects and CGI in places, Goedam does have some shining moments. One lingering criticism that prevents Goedam from rising higher among Netflix zombie shows, however, is the lack of a genuine fear factor. Goedam makes audiences want to research more about the interesting myths though, and it's one of the more unique Netflix shows to feature zombies thanks to this fact.

Another point in the show's favor is that it's actually a very quick watch. Each story is shorter than the length of a typical sitcom episode, so those intrigued by the horror or the lore can binge it quickly or watch episodes in between other media, giving them a small sampling of the urban legends within.

RealityZ is a Brazilian remake of the superior British horror series Dead Set. The show follows a group of contestants in a Big Brother-like reality series during a zombie apocalypse and must fight for survival. With a mix of comedy and horror and a unique exotic setting, the Brazilian series didn't quite live up to its British counterpart. However, standing on its own as a Netflix series, RealityZ is still worthy of a watch for those wanting to browse the best zombie shows on Netflix with 10 episodes of funny zombie horror.

Reality TV fans, in particular, will likely be intrigued by the premise since it attempts to blend the horror and reality genres. It's not that hard to believe that an apocalyptic event would be carefully followed by a camera crew encouraging people to fight to make it to another day.

The animated Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness is another attempt by Netflix to turn the video game into a compelling series. And this attempt is actually much more successful than the live-action series. Fans of the franchise will likely find this one even more interesting. Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness takes place between the Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5 video games, which is a great decision given that the fourth game is one of the most celebrated survival horror games ever.

While some fans of the Resident Evil games felt Infinite Darknessfractured Claire and Leon's relationship in a way some disagreed with, it still delivers the same zombie action as the game's cutscenes. Those looking for an easy-to-watch animated Netflix zombie show definitely shouldn't miss this addition to the Resident Evil movies.

Consider celebrating Halloween this year by watching overlooked horror movies featuring deadly cults, unhappy ghosts, creepy clowns, evil hair, killer aliens and vengeful witches. I hope you like nightmares. The choices that follow are available on Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.

Norwegian horror film Cadaver takes place during the aftermath of a nuclear disaster, where a starving family -- played by Leonora (Gitte Witt), Jacob (Thomas Gullestad) and their daughter Alice (Tuva Olivia Remman) -- finds hope in a charismatic hotel owner Mathias (Thorbjorn Harr) who lures them to his unusual dinner theater who promises them shelter and food.

Attendees wear creepy gold masks to differentiate them from the actors who wander around the hotel acting out scenes that include both sex and violence. Soon it becomes apparent this isn't a typical dinner theater.

Bad Hair, a horror satire set in 1989, follows an ambitious young Black woman (Elle Lorraine) who gets a hair weave to succeed in the image-obsessed world of music television. However, her flourishing career comes at a great cost when she realizes her new hair may have a mind of its own. While this is a dark comedy, it also touches on serious themes like what it means to deny your own culture and roots to succeed in a superficial world.

Based on Clive Barker's horror anthology book series, Books of Blood follows three tales tangled together by one thread. A self-professed medium who channels the dead via bloody graffiti, a troubled traveler who is sensitive to noise and two criminals seeking payment from a bookseller all intersect into one complete tale of terror.

Spiral tells the story of gay couple Malik (Jeffrey Bowyer-Chapman) and Aaron (Ari Cohen), who along with their 16-year-old daughter Kayla (Jennifer Laporte) move to a suburban small town in the mid-'90s to settle down and establish roots. At first, the neighbors seem welcoming, but soon disturbing things begin to happen.

Malik suspects it's all part of a larger plot to drive him and his family out of town, but there may be even something more sinister at play that threatens the lives of those he loves most. This movie is a creepy slow burn with an unexpected ending.

If you enjoyed Netflix series The Haunting of Hill House, you're in for a treat with The Haunting of Bly Manor. This Gothic romance-influenced ghost story is based on Henry James' stories The Turn of The Screw, The Romance Of Certain Old Clothes and The Jolly Corner.

The Haunting of Bly Manor follows the lives (and possibly deaths) of the inhabitants of the stately mansion. Dani Clayton (Victoria Pedretti) is a young American au pair hired to watch over the unusual young children -- brother Miles (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) and sister Flora (Amelie Smith) -- who live at Bly.

There's also housekeeper Hannah Grose (T'Nia Miller), house chef Owen (Rahul Kohli) and gardener Jamie (Amelia Eve). A mystery surrounds the deaths of the children's parents, as well as the previous governess Rebecca Jessel (Tahirah Sharif), who drowned in the nearby lake. And what about the mysterious Peter Quint (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) who keeps lurking in the shadows of Bly?

During a night of wild Saint Patrick's Day parties and drunken hijinks, three friends band together to save a college town from a vicious horde of body-switching aliens. This is more of a dark comedy than a seriously scary movie. But it's fun to see a horror film take place during a holiday usually reserved for celebrating green beer and leprechauns.

As part of the new Blumhouse horror movie series, Nocturne goes inside the halls of an elite music arts academy, where timid musician Juliet (Sydney Sweeney) wishes she could be more like her more accomplished and outgoing twin sister Vivian (Madison Iseman). When Juliet discovers a mysterious notebook belonging to a deceased classmate, she becomes obsessed with the scribblings and sheet music inside. Juliet starts to become more emboldened as she competes with her sister in both music and love -- with dangerous results.

In The Wretched, rebellious teen Ben (John-Paul Howard), who is struggling with his parent's imminent divorce, faces off with a 1,000-year-old witch living beneath the skin of the woman next door. No one will believe him when he claims the witch is out for blood and "feeds on the forgotten." So he takes matters into his own hands.

If you grew up watching horror films during the '90s then you know exactly who Joe Bob Briggs is. The comedic host of The Last Drive-In -- now on Shudder -- knows every tiny bit of behind-the-scenes trivia there is about movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre to Halloween.

With the sassy mail girl Darcy, Texan show host Joe Bob hosts regular horror movie marathons while revealing interesting tidbits about the actors, directors and special effects experts. He often goes on entertaining rants about the movie business and the horror film industry in general.

Italian horror film The Binding centers around Emma (Mia Maestro), who must fight the mysterious and malevolent curse intent on claiming her daughter Sofia (Giulia Patrignani) while visiting her fiance Francesco's (Riccardo Scamarcio) devout mother Teresa (Mariella Lo Sardo) in southern Italy. The movie pits the characters' modern lives and traditional values -- modern medicine versus herbal medicine, Emma's instinct versus Teresa's old world knowledge, etc. Fair warning: This the kind of horror movie you probably shouldn't watch while sitting next to your in-laws.
