History Main / IncongruouslyDressedZombie

** Common zombies all wear the remnants of a shirt, suit coat and tie, but the "special" zombies all are dressed in a way that identifies their particular attack method. The "dancing" zombie ''used'' to look like a ''Thriller''-era Michael Jackson, up until Jackson died and his family requested that they change his appearance. He's now a "disco" zombie with bell-bottom pants and big hair. The crazy Jack-In-The-Box zombie wears a straitjacket and carries an exploding Jack-in-the-box with him. The [[{{Pun}} Zomboni]] is a guy driving around a Zamboni, and the ice he lays down is used by Bobsled Zombies, who carry their bobsled with them and wear identical team uniforms. Zombies who attack over water wear snorkels, digging zombies have carbide lamp helmets, and so on.

* ''Series/{{Castle}}'', "Undead Again": Among the gathering of undead-cosplayers questioned about a reported "zombie attack" are a woman in a puffy pink ball gown and another with a beauty-contestant's gold sash.

* In webisode clips spun off ''Series/TheWalkingDead'', two child zombies wear paper birthday-party hats. Another (adult) zombie wore the day-glow yellow vest of a parking-lot attendant.

* ''L.A. Zombie'' had a group of undead [[{{Leatherman}} leathermen]].

* The mob of extras made up as zombies as a foundation challenge on season 4 of ''Series/FaceOff'' were mostly dressed in everyday street clothes, but a couple of the men wore surgical scrubs, one of the women had on a ragged wedding dress, and a chef's hat is visible in one of the group shots. Contestants regularly dress their own undead creations in odd outfits for spotlight challenges, to make the finished products distinctive and capture the judges' interest.

* Creator/GamesWorkshop games:
** ''TabletopGame/BloodBowl'' zombies typically sport the tattered remnants of American-style football gear.
** The Deadwalker Zombies kit in ''TabletopGame/WarhammerAgeOfSigmar'' includes a few who are still wearing battered armour in between the array of shredded pants and decaying dresses.
** The horribly mutated Poxwalker {{Plague Zombie}}s in ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'' have a model kit that included one in a long coat. The long lore presence of the Curse of Unbelief, a more traditional (if still Chaos-spawned) zombie plague, has also led to many, many conversions of zombified Imperial Guardsmen, including an entire campaign in ''Magazine/WhiteDwarf'' focused on it.

* Nearly every zombie that appears in Webvideo/{{Brains}} is a variation on this. A [[spoiler:hippie]], [[spoiler:hipster]], and [[spoiler:Seattle Mariners fan]] zombie are all seen in the first season.

* One ''ComicBook/HackSlash'' arc had a slasher who [[RaisingTheSteaks resurrected a bunch of dead animals]] as zombies, including [[DancingBear a circus bear in a tutu]]. There were also zombie football players in ''Hack[=/=]Slash meets Zombies vs. Cheerleaders''.

* Naked infectees are also incredibly common in ''ComicBook/{{Crossed}}'' as well. Other examples include crossed Hare Krishna monks wreaking havoc on an airport, freshly infected circus performers attacking a nearby town, a group of crossed dressed like different clerical figures (A rabbi, a catholic bishop and a nun, to name a few) hunting down "heretics" in a desolated city. Without a doubt, though, the best example of this takes place on "The Five Bloody Fingers" arc where a Japanese young man tries to get in contact with his friends during the onset of the crossed plague in Japan. This lead him to a Comiket-esque convention... and to fight a seemingly endless horde of crossed cosplayers.

* Romero's ''Film/LivingDeadSeries'':
** The UrExample is the nude female model, adorned only with a morgue ID tag, who was included in ''Film/NightOfTheLivingDead1968''.
** In the [[Film/NightOfTheLivingDead1990 1990 remake]], Ben and Barbra acquire a handgun from a zombie cop's belt holster. Barbra later uses it to shoot a female zombie that clutches a baby doll under one arm.
** In ''Film/DawnOfTheDead1978'', the Hare Krishna Monk zombie in his bright orange robes, as well as the infamously hammy Nurse Zombie.
*** One of the zombies wears plain clothes but he grabs the assault rifle of one of the SWAT as they try to get behind a door, forcing the officer to let it go. Through the rest of the film, the zombie keeps holding onto the rifle as he lumbers towards the characters, never dropping it, nor pointing it at anyone.
** The first zombie in the [[Film/DawnOfTheDead2004 2004 remake]] is the little neighbor girl in her pink sleeping gown, which causes Anna's boyfriend to get his guard down, and makes her come across as a KillerRabbit.
*** Many zombies in the early collapse scenes are in their pajamas and underwear. They get replaced by normally dressed people after the main evacuation camp falls. Still, the second batch of survivors from the camp includes a terminal ZombieInfectee who is an obese, middle-aged woman in her underwear.
*** When C.J. throws a gas canister on the zombie crowd to use it as a bomb, it is picked up by a large, bald, bare-chested (or naked?) zombie. An even fatter, bare-chested zombie shows up in a deleted crowd scene, soon after they arrive in the mall.
*** This is even [[ExploitedTrope exploited]] when the survivors are bored and decide to kill time by telling Andy to shoot zombies that resemble celebrities, such as "Creator/JayLeno" (a well-groomed zombie with white hair and a blue business suit) and "Creator/BurtReynolds" (a mustached zombie in a brown uniform).
*** A humororus fake news broadcast in the DVD extras shows a group of high school hustlers taunting an AttractiveZombie that wears nothing but a football helmet, BlackBraAndPanties.
** In ''Film/DayOfTheDead1985'', one of the zombies that invade the military base is dressed in a clown costume. Some of the zombies in the bunker paddock include an older woman in a shower cap, a ballerina, a zombie in a fisherman's outfit (complete with a bucket hat), a woman in a wedding dress, and a zombie drum majorette in a huge puffy hat gets a close-up in the city scene. At other points in the film, there is a zombie in an American football uniform, and a fireman in bunker gear (complete with a fireman's helmet).
** In ''Film/LandOfTheDead'', the zombie "leader" Big Daddy wears a gas station attendant's denim jumpsuit, with a patch that bears his name. Other examples include another zombie clown, a boy in an upper-class school uniform, a marching band complete with instruments, and a zombie cheerleader still clutching her pom-poms.
* In ''Film/WaxworkIILostInTime'', the alternate-reality that featured zombies had several dressed in over-the-top disco outfits.
* A [[MonsterClown zombie clown]] attacks a children's birthday party in a video clip from ''Film/DiaryOfTheDead''.
** There are also zombie clowns seen in the two [[Film/DayOfTheDead1985 preceding]] [[Film/LandOfTheDead movies]].

* In ''Film/TheReturnOfTheLivingDead'', a zombie priest is seen gnawing on a dead paramedic, then calling Dispatch to ask that more be sent. Trash becomes an example when she re-animates in the nude, having been killed after stripping in the cemetery.
* ''Film/ReturnOfTheLivingDeadPartII'' has the visual gag of a zombie dressed in Music/MichaelJackson's "Thriller" outfit.
* In ''Film/{{Zombieland}}'', several examples (a stripper, a bunch of little girls in ballerina outfits, father-and-son contestants in a three-legged race, one that's [[ManOnFire on fire]]) chase people around in the opening credits. One of the last ones we see is [[MonsterClown a clown]].

* There is a pair of zombified topless strippers very briefly seen in ''Film/ResidentEvilApocalypse''. They manage to distract a guy long enough to make him crash the car he was in.
* The short film ''Zombie in a Penguin Suit'' puts this in the forefront.
* The [[NotUsingTheZWord only-technically]]-[[DemonicallyPossessed not-zombies]] from ''Film/{{Legion}}'' had a few funnily dressed "zombies".
** The first appears to be a sweet old lady who [[AffablyEvil orders a steak and chats up a young couple]] before [[FauxAffablyEvil cursing said young couple and telling a pregnant woman her baby is going to burn]]. The second, an ice cream truck driver in a bright yellow suit, which just clashes in the most horrible way possible when he [[BodyHorror starts to change.]]
* In ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porn_of_the_Dead Porn of the Dead,]]'' one of the zombies was a waitress, while another was a mental patient still stuck struggling with a straitjacket.
* Non-zombie example: Some of the recently-dead from the afterlife waiting room in ''Film/{{Beetlejuice}}'' are dressed in amusingly-odd outfits (a headhunter, a Vegas showgirl).

* A number of the Zombies in ''Film/WarmBodies''. The [[GhostAmnesia amnesic and zombified]] main character uses his hoodie to determine he was unemployed in life, for one. M is careful about maintaining his suit, and another member of the hunting party appears to be wearing a Sikh turban. Worst is the character named in the credits simply as TSA Zombie, who carefully waves his metal detector over every zombie inhabitant of the abandoned airport, when not busy eating brains.
* ''Film/ZombieStrippers'', though there the emphasis is more on what the zombies aren't wearing.

* ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead'':
** The first zombie that Shaun and Ed ''know'' is a zombie (they meet a few before but confuse them for drunk people) is a [[WeddingSmashers wedding groom]] with a large, yellow flower over his left breast... and [[AnArmAndALeg an arm ripped off just under the shoulder]].
** Pete dies in the shower and his zombie walks around completely naked.
** A zombie outside Liz's place wears a business suit and carries an open suitcase.
** When the group passes through a crowd of zombies (by pretending to be zombies themselves), the zombies include a biker in a bright red suit and helmet, a wheelchair-bound woman, and two biker twins.
** Among the zombie crowd that crashes the Winchester in the end is a split-second zombified version of [[TheCameo Tyres]] from ''Series/{{Spaced}}'' wearing his full, brightly coloured bicycle-courier gear and cap. And he's (probably) ''still raving''.

* Many of the initial wave of living zombies from ''Devil's Playground'' are dressed as first responders, illustrating the rapid breakdown of law and order, as well as how their heroic attempts to assist the drug-test volunteers got them bitten for their trouble.
* In ''Film/CockneysVsZombies'', two herds of zombies in [[FootballHooligans the colors of rival soccer teams]] stagger towards one another and start clumsily shoving and punching each other in the street. A matronly zombie pushes a stroller with a zombie baby in it.
* ''Film/DetentionOfTheDead'' has a zombie in a fast-food server's uniform, complete with dorky cap and hairnet.

* The dead spirits from the film adaptation of Creator/CliveBarker's ''Book of Blood'' include a firefighter, a geisha, and an emaciated man in a concentration-camp prisoner's striped clothing.
* Otto from ''Film/OttoOrUpWithDeadPeople'' wears his Goth/Punk/Emo outfit which consists on skinny jeans, combat boots, a gray and black stripped sweater, a white shirt, a black necktie and a black hoodie.
* Some of the skeletal troops called up by the Necronomicon in ''Film/ArmyOfDarkness'' stand out by how they're dressed, such as the bagpipe-players-- they even still have full beards.
* ''Film/GhostbustersII'' has a ghost jogger and a ghost nanny, following up on the original ''Film/{{Ghostbusters|1984}}''' ghost librarian.
** The fact that one combative ghost is dressed as a Pilgrim is Lampshaded in ''Film/Ghostbusters2016''.
* Combined with AnachronismStew in the short film ''[[KungFuJesus Fist of Jesus]]'', with cowboy zombies. [[RuleOfFunny Eighteen centuries before the Wild West.]]
* In a non-horror example, the animated suits of battle-garb in ''Film/BedknobsAndBroomsticks'' include some Scottish bagpipers' costumes, and a 17th-century duelist's outfit complete with long flowing wig.
* The first TechnicallyLivingZombie found by Jim in ''Film/TwentyEightDaysLater'' is a priest in a church.
* The first zombie crowd in ''Film/ScoutsGuideToTheZombieApocalypse'' includes a roller skater.
* In ''Film/BigTitsZombie'', zombies starts showing up in all kinds of incongruous outfits, such as stripper costumes and school uniforms.
* In ''Film/Goosebumps2015'', the Werewolf of Fever Swamp wears blue lycra jogging shorts and running shoes with white laces, the toes and ankles ripped out by his transformed feet.
* ''All'' the lesser undead in ''Film/TheMummy2017'' qualify by the standards of typical mummy movies, as Ahmanet creates them by life-draining modern people or re-animating the corpses of Crusaders at the Crossrail tomb site. They are therefore dressed in ordinary street clothes or chain mail and tabards, with not a bandage or hieroglyph to be seen.
* Among the zombies seen in ''Film/AnnaAndTheApocalypse'' are schoolgirls in uniform, construction workers, and a zombified person dressed as Santa Claus. This also ends up being a BrickJoke; during the school talent show, two students in full-body penguin costumes end up performing a StylisticSuck song, and after the school is invaded by zombies, we see that they were zombified while wearing the outfits.
* All the discarded damaged robots in the "Flesh Fair" scenes of ''Film/AIArtificialIntelligence'' are essentially this, due to robots being created as worker replacements: there is a nanny (missing most of her head), a welder, a doctor, a chef, a prostitute, a factory worker, a hairdresser, a chaffeur, a headless and completely blackened robot after being burnt to a crisp, a legless ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}''-like metal skeleton with a police cap... [[TheCameo and]] Creator/ChrisRock.

* The lesser Black Court vampires that attack the shopping mall in the [[Literature/TheDresdenFiles Harry Dresden]] short story "It's My Birthday, Too" are newly-transformed security guards, and therefore dressed in their mall-cop uniforms.
* ''[[Creator/PermutedPress Day By Day Armageddon]]'' has its moments. In the first book Kilgore spots a grocery store employee with the phrase "If you can read this kill me!" written on his shirt in blood (who he obliges, noting he'd have probably liked the guy had he met him alive), and the third book has him fighting the urge to [[GallowsHumor laugh at]] zombies dressed in Hawaiian shirts in Oahu.

* In ''[[Literature/DanShambleZombiePI Death Warmed Over]]'', Dan and [=McGoo=] interrupt a pair of shambling zombie brawlers, who've continued their fight over a girl even after death. Dan lampshades this trope by marveling at the two teenage zombies' outfits: one, a powder-blue prom tux, the other a Disneyland hoodie. ("Who in the world would want to be buried in a Disneyland hoodie?")

[[folder: Live-Action Television]]

* The first army of '[[OurZombiesAreDifferent wights]]' in the Season 2 finale of ''Series/GameOfThrones'' includes several bare-chested wildlings, who contrast dramatically with the snowy landscape, and also completely bald ones (we learn later that this is a custom of the Thenn tribe). There are also a few black-clad Nightwatchmen sprinkled among them. In the book, there was also a [[RaisingTheSteaks zombie]] [[BearsAreBadNews bear]], and a zombie bear shows up five seasons later in the series.
** The Season 4 finale has Bran's group being attacked by skeletonized wights with very archaic-looking armor and weapons. It's the first undeniable proof that the White Walkers don't need to kill people and animals to turn them into wights; They can also turn bodies that have been dead for centuries. Most wight armies in later seasons also include skeletons among their numbers.
** At the Battle of Hardhome (Season 5), Karsi fights a wight wearing a Stark helmet before being attacked by five wight children. One of them is almost a skeleton.
** The Season 7 premiere confirms the existence of wight giants.
* ''Series/RizzoliAndIsles'', "Cops Vs Zombies": A few of the attendees at [=ZombieCon=] are dressed up as this trope, although most convention-goers (including the one who was murdered) are fairly generic undead.
* ''Series/{{Castle}}'', "Undead Again": Among the gathering of undead-cosplayers questioned about a reported "zombie attack" are a woman in a puffy pink ball gown and another with a beauty-contestant's gold sash.

* In Armor Games' [[WebGames Web Game]] ''VideoGame/TheLastStand'', a few of the zombies attacking your character wear clown costumes.

* One of the zombies in ''VideoGame/{{Medievil 2}}'' sports a beard and wears a suit, which Dan must steal from it to use as a disguise.

* ''VideoGame/ZombiU'' has zombies dressed as [[BritishRoyalGuards Buckingham palace guards]] and Beefeaters.
* In ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'', the Courier's [[TechnicallyLivingZombie Ghoul]] companion, Raul will change into his old Vaquero outfit if convinced to become a gunslinger once more.
* ''VideoGame/Fallout4'' has the ghoul, Hancock. He models himself off the historical John Hancock and wears a revolutionary war era coat and a tricornered hat.
* All the cadaver-level undead in the Facebook flash game ''The Last One'' are incongruously-dressed, including a short-order cook, a fireman, a lady mechanic, a legless granny with a walker, and a construction worker who'd died lying in wet cement and now has much of his body encased in chunks of concrete.

* ''VideoGame/GhostbustersTheVideoGame'' has ghost bellhops and a Fisherman Ghost.
* ''[[VideoGame/StreetPassMiiPlaza Battleground Z]]'' (also known as ''[[MarketBasedTitle StreetPass Zombies]])'' is one of the least serious zombie games in existence and is practically made of this trope. The bosses, for instance, consist of Star Quartersmack, who's dressed in full American football gear; Belinda Munch, an opera singer who fights you in her big pink frilly dress; and Bubba and Cletus, a pair of brothers who run a corn farm and wear overalls and straw hats. The Rare Zombies, who only come out under certain conditions, are dressed even more atypically, with characters like the Movie-Loving Zombie, who always wears a shirt depicting his favorite science fiction movie; the Helpful Zombie, who's dressed like a superhero; and the Fashionable Zombie, who, depending on the designated gender, either dresses in a bright striped dress or a sharp tuxedo. All of the female Rare Zombies also have their hair tied as GirlishPigtails.
* ''VideoGame/HouseOfTheDead Scarlet Dawn'' has Mac, a katana-wielding athletic zombie wearing a hooded ninja outfit and Bruce, a muscular zombie dressed like Slash from ''Music/GunsNRoses'' fame and armed with a mean electric guitar.
* ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' has featured some really bizarre undead demons such as the Bodyconian (undead Go-Go dancer), the Drag Queen (undead crossdresser), the Rasta Man (grinning Rastafarian zombie carrying a serrated blade and a bag full of heads) and the Batarion/Obattarion (undead naked woman allegedly based on Trash from ''Film/TheReturnOfTheLivingDead'', known as ''Batallion'' in Japan).
* The titular trio from ''VideoGame/TeenageZombiesInvasionOfTheAlienBrainThingys'' apparently weren't dressed in the usual funeral garb. Lori "Lefty" Lopez wears a basketball outfit, Zack "Half-Pipe" Boyd wears [[InTheHood a red hood]], and Finnegan "Fins" Magee wears a swimsuit.
* ''VideoGame/BeastBusters'' has zombie American footballers, workers with hard hats and bald naked zombies. Among the bosses there are a mohawked zombie punk (1st boss), muscular twins wearing nothing but speedos and Jason-esque hockey masks (2nd boss) and a trio of zombie bikers (3rd boss).
** Its sequel ''Beast Busters: Second Raid'' is set in a hospital and as such features zombie doctors and nurses. There are also zombie delinquents.

* ''VideoGame/ProjectZomboid'': Zombies are dressed appropriately for the buildings near where they are found. This includes medical zombies in scrubs and labcoats in hospitals, firefighter zombies in fire stations, and zombie congregations in their Sunday best near a church. Some of the zombies tell amusing stories, such as police zombies surrounding a house with two zombies wearing prison jumpsuits inside.
* Gaichû from ''VideoGame/ShadowrunReturns: Hong Kong'' is a [[TechnicallyLivingZombie ghoul]] dressed as a [[EliteMooks red samurai]] -- mostly because [[StillWearingTheOldColors he used to be one]], and silly as it may look it's still very good armour. It ''does'', however, make Gaichû even more noticeable than usual and therefore a really bad (or really hilarious) candidate to include on social missions, [[BavarianFireDrill where you are usually called upon to make up some outrageous bluffs]] to get him past the guards without violence.

** This became an issue during the airing of the anime since said zombie had a remarkable resemblance to famous former South Korean actor [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bae_Yong-joon Bae Yong-joon]], which combined with the nationalistic undertones of the story and the general antagonism between South Korea and Japan, caused a kerfuffle.

* In ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porn_of_the_Dead Porn of the Dead]]'', one of the zombies was a waitress, while another was a mental patient still stuck struggling with a straitjacket.

* ''Detention of the Dead'' has a zombie in a fast-food server's uniform, complete with dorky cap and hairnet.

** The Clown zombie is found in "Dark Carnival", running around with large clown shoes and a big red nose. The shoes squeak as the Clown walks, which aggravates other common infected into forming mini-hordes.

[[folder: Real Life ]]

* ''Very'' popular for participants in zombie flash mobs, horror conventions, and costume parties, who often want to be more memorable and/or conspicuous than "just another zombie".
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Film ]]

* The titular zombies in ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooOnZombieIsland'' are pirates, Civil War soldiers, and 19th-to-20th century tourists. However, the film provides a rare justification for this trope, as the zombies were the specific past victims of the movie's BigBad.

* ''VideoGame/Left4Dead2'' has your usual hordes of zombie masses, but there are also "Uncommon Commons", a step below the [[EliteZombie Special Infected]]. They all look different from usual, but also have unique properties about them. Depending on how you encounter them, they can be either hilarious, creepy, or utterly depressing.
** Hazmat zombies found in "Dead Center" run around in their still fully-sealed yellow and green hazmat suits. You can hear the air leaking out of them like a balloon if you kill them with a melee attack.
** The Clown zombie is found in "Dark Carnival", running around with large clown shoes and a big red nose.
** Mudmen are, well, covered in mud.
** Riot Gear zombies, found in "The Parish", gain some measure of protection from this trope.
** Worker zombies in the "Dead Rain" campaign wear bright yellow reflective vests, making them easy to see in the torrential downpour. They also wear personal protection equipment that increases their overall health and ear protectors that mean they neither hear nor chase thrown pipebombs. It can be said that the concrete dust accumulated in their nostrils before they turned makes them unable to smell bile bombs either[[note]]Pipe and Bile Bombs use the same coding, which the Worker doesn't react to. Ironically, the entire point of them ignoring Pipe Bombs was to make the Bile Bomb more effective on that level[[/note]].
** Fallen Survivors from "The Passing" still wear their survival gear, so they can drop a med kit, pills, adrenaline shots, pipe bombs, or molotovs.

* ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies'' has several examples. Common zombies all wear the remnants of a shirt, suit coat and tie, but the "special" zombies all are dressed in a way that identifies their particular attack method. The "dancing" zombie ''used'' to look like a ''Thriller''-era Michael Jackson, up until Jackson died and his family requested that they change his appearance. He's now a "disco" zombie with bell-bottom pants and big hair. The crazy Jack-In-The-Box zombie wears a straitjacket and carries an exploding Jack-in-the-box with him. The [[IncrediblyLamePun Zomboni]] is a guy driving around a Zamboni, and the ice he lays down is used by Bobsled Zombies, who carry their bobsled with them and wear identical team uniforms, zombies who attack over water wear snorkels, digging zombies have carbide lamp helmets and so on....
** Not to mention [[VideoGame/PlantsVsZombies2ItsAboutTime the sequel]], with every zombie changing outfit depending on which time you're in.
