Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': A graveyard produces a seemingly unending succession of undead.
* '''Straight''': A BadassPreacher shelters in a rural church in the middle of Nowhere, GA, as waves of hundreds of zombies pour forth from the small churchyard surrounding it.
* '''Exaggerated''': A single coffin spews forth thousands of undead.
* '''Downplayed''': FridgeLogic suggests that there shouldn't have been ''quite'' as many corpses as there seem to be zombies.
* '''Justified''':
** Rather than waking the dead, a portal to hell has been opened up under the graveyard.
** The graveyard is the site of a mass grave, and [[ThePowerOfHate the sheer evil of the atrocity that created it]] is what provided the dark energy that allowed a {{Necromancer}} to wake the dead.
** The magic causes the dead to re-compose under the ground, so everyone who was ever buried there is being reconstituted from the bone fragments and dirt they've been reduced to.
* '''Inverted''': We [[NothingIsScarier only actually see about three zombies]] over the course of the film, but at daybreak there are hundreds of corpses littering the grass.
* '''Subverted''': There are stories of thousands of dead walking the earth at night, but these turn out to be exaggerations.

* '''Parodied''': The zombies and the zombie-slayers start playing ScoobyDoobyDoors with open sarcophagi.
* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': There are only a handful of corpses still intact enough to raise from the dead -- although unless subjected to KillItWithFire or the ChunkySalsaRule, they can always be ''re-''raised.
* '''Enforced''': Graveyards are the MookMaker for zombies in a SurvivalHorror game, and are simply spawned there whenever the AI deems it appropriate.
