A few films followed in the zombie genre, but in 1968 the genre was re-established with 'Night of the living dead'. Which rebooted the genre with countless zombie films and TV shows being launched. Then Video games appeared, and zombie games were being made, the most famous being 'Resident Evil', 'House of the Dead' and 'COD:World At War Nazi Zombies'
