Beyond "Thriller": Top 10 Zombie Music Videos

Page 2 of 3

Phantom Planet, "Big Brat"

The making and screening of a low-budget zombie movie inside of a music video. The only thing that would have made this video better would have been the presence of founding drummer Jason Schwartzman, but he latered the band to be Wes Anderson's golden boy.

Sellout. Just kidding, Rushmore is one of our favorite movies.

The Misfits, "Scream!":

The "Grandfather of Zombie" and director of Night of the Living Dead, George A. Romero, helped The Misfits out with this video. The band agreed to play during the final murder scene in Romero's then-current film, Bruiser, in exchange for his directing their video. Michale Graves chunked deuce a year later.

Billy Idol, "Dancing With Myself":

We still can't really match up the video with the song, but it's sweaty Billy Idol...so it's OK.
