Zombi (film series) The Zombi" series refers collectively to various European horror films that have been falsely marketed as sequels to either George A. Romero's Italian-American film "Dawn of the Dead" (1978) or Lucio Fulci's Italian film "Zombi 2" (1979); the latter was itself falsely marketed as a sequel to the former. A confusing history has emerged from the practise of retitling films for release in different countries, in which a given film may have a different title in each country in which it is released. In Britain, these films were released as the Zombie Flesh Eaters" series. In North America, these same films became known as the "Zombie" series.
