There’s nothing better than watching a zombie movie with a ghoul animal, am I right? I love seeing special effects artist renditions of what exactly an undead animal would look like. They seldom disappoint. With that said, here are the 14 best movies where the animal kingdom has risen from the dead.

Army of the Dead (2021) – Zombie Tiger

In this 2021 Zack Snyder-directed Netflix hit, Las Vegas is overrun with zombies, including Siegfried and Roy’s white tiger, Valentine. Zombie Valentine guards the entrance to the zombie alpha’s domain. Oh, and there’s a pretty awesome zombie horse, too. Check it out on Netflix today.

Black Sheep (2006) – Zombie Sheep

Black Sheep proves that New Zealand farmers should never meddle with genetics – especially when it comes to their sheep. Check out director Jonathan King’s hilarious zom-com on Tubi or get yourself a DVD on Amazon today. Damn, that’s an ugly sheep.

The Boneyard (1991) – Zombie Poodle

Ok, let’s not argue about whether The Boneyard is a zombie movie. Yes, the “zombies” are actually demonically possessed beings, so aren’t the Deadites from the Evil Dead franchise, and I count those as zombies. With that said, the zombie poodle in this movie is bonkers. Stream it on Amazon Prime Video or Tubi today. Or get on Blu-ray on Amazon.

The Jurassic Dead (2017) – Zombie T-Rex

As a huge Jurassic Park fan, I’m excited to throw this movie on the list. The only pre-historic creature you’ll find on this list is a pretty epic one – dinos! Stream it on The Roku Channel or get it on DVD on Amazon.

Pet Sematary (1983) – Church the Zombie Cat

Another feline makes this list, this formerly lovable fella Church came back just a tad bit different after getting buried in Pet Sematary. Sometimes dead is better... Stream it on Max or pick up a copy on Blu-ray on Amazon.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017) – Zombie Shark

One of the coolest entries on this list is Captain Jack Sparrow facing a fearsome zombie shark. The last time a flick had a shark this scary was a little movie called Jaws. Stream it on Disney+ or get a copy on Blu-ray from Amazon.

Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead (2006) – Zombie Chicken

Who doesn’t love zombie chicken? Well, these aren’t exactly chicken. This movie is pretty nuts, though. Stream it on Tubi or get a copy on Blu-ray on Amazon.

Re-Animator (1985) – Rufus the Cat

Poor, poor Rufus. I’m a cat lover. Heck, my wife and I own ~~three~~ four of them currently. It breaks my heart to see poor Rufus re-animated, but as a zombie movie lover (especially Re-Animator) I have to admit how gory and awesome an undead Rufus the cat is. Stream it on Shudder or Tubi. Get a copy on Blu-ray on Amazon.

Resident Evil (2002) – Zombie Dobermans

The quintessential zombie animal comes from the 2002 smash-hit Resident Evil. Who doesn’t love watching Alice kick some zombie Doberman ass? Pick up a Blu-ray copy on Amazon.

Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) – Zombie Crows

Next up on the list of zombie animals for Project Alice to destroy: crows! In this powerful scene, thousands of zombie crows swarm and attack the convoy as they prepare to leave. Get a Blu-ray copy on Amazon.

Train to Busan (2016) – Zombie Deer

Ok, to be honest, Train to Busan barely has a zombie animal in it. However, it does have one – a deer that gets hit by a truck. It dies, then after the truck drives away, the deer gets back up with cloudy eyes and an undead existence. Stream it on Amazon Prime Video or get a Blu-ray copy on Amazon.

Zombeavers (2014) – Zombie Beavers

Zombeavers is one of the funnier movies on this list, as you’d expect most zombie animal movies to be. It’s certainly no Shaun of the Dead or Zombieland, but it has some scary friggin’ zombie beavers. Stream it on Amazon Prime Video or Tubi. Get a copy on Blu-ray from Amazon.

A Zombie Croc (2015) – Zombie Crocodile

Easily one of the worst zombie movies ever made, A Zombie Croc doesn’t even have an intelligent or witty title. However, it does have a zombie crocodile…or alligator or whatever it is. Stream it on Vudu.

Zoombies (2016) – Zoo Animal Zombies

Zoombies is one of those movies that checks every box for your animal zombie desires. A safari full of zoo animals begins spreading a virus turning their greatest attractions into undead creatures. Stream it on Amazon Prime Video or get a DVD copy from Amazon.
