Almost every zombie film has a scene where the survivors goes into a house or building because it ''LOOKS'' safe. But there's that one room someone overlooked. They open the door and a swarm of zombies start to pour out. Usually this happens when people refuse to properly dispose of [[ZombieInfectee infected loved ones]] and they reanimate hours later. Or some refuse to kill their loved ones out of [[WhatHappenedToMommy simple grief]] and decides to hide them in the basement, attic, closet, etc.
