Not an exact match but is it this scene
from Scream 1996?
No, but I think I can use it to provide a clearer example.
The girl had brown hair and a white jacket and entered through the large door, not the small one. There wasn't a cat, and there was a car or table in the way middle of them. The killer wasn't Ghostface, but it was a humanoid figure with rotting grey flesh. I was too scared to look at his face, so I don't remember the features there, but he either didn't change his face shape or kept the same look throughout. It was also a lot darker than this, in terms of lighting.
Thank you very much for the attempt, though! It should help to paint a better image.
- EDIT* The girl's jacket had a thin red stripe up the side of the arms.
Was it I Know What You Did Last Summer?
I did some research and The Fisherman fits your description pretty well.
each day is a drive thru historyI'm not sure, I've never seen it. The villain just looked like what you were describing.

I've read up on the character a bit more, and a lot of things add up. His face is close to what I remember, and there were a couple of death scenes I could have easily mistaken for a garage. However, what doesn't make sense is the choice of weapon. The Fisherman uses his hook, while the zombie I remember used a fire extinguisher. Thanks for the help, though! I'll update the main post.

I watched a terrifying clippet of a film as a kid, and am trying to find it for closure.
There was a young woman with brown hair and a white jacket. (My child mind identified her as Lindsay Lohan, but that may not be right) She went into a garage looking for somebody. She slipped on blood and found the person she was looking for suspended above her. A zombie stands up and uses a garage door closer to close the door behind her. She is stuck with him in there. I believe the scene switches, and when it returns she is cowering in a corner while the zombie is holding a fire extinguisher or flame thrower. She shouts, "No, NO!" and screams as he sprays her with it. The cinematography reminded me of a movie, but it may have been a tv show in the same style of CSI.
EDIT: The face and hand of the zombie bear a close resemblance to The Fisherman from the I Know series, but the zombie's skin was just a bit darker.
EDIT: The actress in question was not Lindsay Lohan, though she did resemble her appearance from Herbie Fully Loaded. I will, check out the I Know movies to see if they are in fact what I'm looking for.
