* In this [[http://www.legorobotcomics.com/?id=71 LegoRobot comic]] humans killed and partly [[ToServeMan eaten by the Bugs]] have their remaining parts dumped in a pool of black jelly, which resurrects them and [[ShapeshifterBaggage regenerates the lost parts]] so that they can be eaten again the next day. However, for every time a victim is resurrected, they [[TheCorruption mutate]] very slightly: the oldest captives don't even resemble human beings anymore, and neither does the protagonist by the end of the story.

* In the end of the ''Banjo Kazooie'', the villain Grunty is knocked off the top of her lair and crushed by a boulder. In the sequel ''Banjo Tooie'', when her sisters get the boulder off her, she's still alive, but her body rotted away while she was under the boulder, making her a living skeleton.

* Yet another one: the movie ''DeathBecomesHer''. It features a potion that grants eternal life and youth--no matter how badly the body is abused, including the cessation of most vital signs.

* In the original ''{{Star Trek}}'' pilot (reused in the two part episode "The Menagerie"), [[spoiler:{{Sufficiently Advanced Aliens}} save a dying woman who crash lands on their planet, but she was in very bad shape and ends up a horrific mess due to their unfamiliarity with what humans are supposed to look like. Luckily, to make it up to her, their mental powers allow her to see herself as much more attractive than she actually was.]]

* ''DoctorWho''. '''Miss. Evangelista's. Face.''' Words do not begin to describe how disturbing that was. For the sake of clarity, Miss Evangelista is one of several people "saved" to a massive virtual reality scenario following death: unfortunately, due to data corruption, her face is horribly deformed.

* MonkeyIsland 2: LeChuck comes back as a rotting corpse. This doesn't seem to particularly bother him though, but he's still one evil SOB.

* After the [[spoiler: Punisher's death at the hands of Daken, Frank Castle is resurrected as Franken Castle,]] a Frankenstein's monster expy.

* In ''TheSims'', if you don't pay Death enough for a good resurrection, you get a zombie, and the zombie is not happy about being brought back all messed up. Also, if you pay only a little less than the money required, you may get someone who has all their personality traits reversed.

** [[spoiler: Yakushi Kabuto can now use this same technique, only on a massive scale, and his versions are able to retain their original personality and style of fighting. They're still very unsettling, as they have very hollow looking eyes, are wired directly to Kabuto's control, and are essentially immortal zombies.]]

* Yet another one: the movie ''Death Becomes Her''. It features a potion that grants eternal life and youth--no matter how badly the body is abused, including the cessation of most vital signs.

** In "The Thing on the Doorstep", dead villainness Asenath Waite switches minds with her asylum-imprisoned husband and killer... who raises from the grave in the [[Squick decomposing and liquefying body]] of his wife to give a last message to a friend.

** In "Cool Air", a [[MadScientist supremely talented Spanish physician]] had revived himself after being dead, but unless he "lives" at low temperature, below 56 °F (13 °C), his body [[Body Horror would decompose itself]] like a corpse, and even during this "life" there is [[UncannyValley something repugnant in his appearance]]. He eventually dies a second death when his refrigeration system breaks down, but for many months before his appearance had already become scary to people and his mind drifted.

* After the [[spoiler: Punisher's death at the hands of Daken, Frank Castle is resurrected as Franken Castle,]] a Frankenstein's monster-like ...monster.

** Though it may not have been a purposeful attempt at murder/suicide, given that said zombie (when he finally stopped screaming) shivered uncontrollably and said he couldn't feel his blood. Turning on the gas may have been an attempt to warm himself with disastrous consequences when he fumbled the matches for too long.

* In the ''TheXFiles'' episode "Je Souhaite", the stoner who found the genie wishes for invisibility and is promptly run over by a truck. His best friend uses his wishes to reanimate him and then give him a voice. The end result? A screaming yellow zombie who accidentally kills his friend and re-kills himself when he opens up the gas and lights a match.
