I've been looking around for good songs that are usable for a zombie film, more importantly for the opening credits sequence. I have two models of zombie film that I'm looking to put music to, the first being a more apocalyptic and dramatic film and the second being a more fun, action-oriented film.

As an example of what I'm looking for, here's a few good examples of good opening credit sequence songs that I've either seen used already or want to use myself.

Dramatic/Apocalyptic:
Johnny Cash - When the Man Comes Around

The Doors - The End

Action:
Metric - Help Im Alive

Post other ideas.

Now you probably know every single zombie movie out there and I don't, but I thought I heard When the Man comes around put to the credits of some movie of that genre before and I'd rather go with something that's not been done before, just 'cause.

KK ?

The song is "Passive", and it's the song that first introduced me to a perfect circle and tool, so I certainly have some bias towards it, but I think that the song, with it's lyrics and imagery, would be perfect for an openening credit sequence. The sequence could show people going about their everyday lives from, and show more shots of one person in particular, but this person would never be shown in full frame, just bits and pieces.

I like the idea of using CCR's Tombstone Shadow in a zombie movie, although I don't know if I'd use it in the opening credits myself

I also think it would be cool to see a zombie movie done some time in the past, so something like this could be cool

Or the live version of this James Brown song is cool, lots of screaming from the crowd (sure it's happy screaming, but when applied to zombies it might have a different feel to it)

for a more action oriented movie, some Rage Against The Machine could be cool

i imagine some sort of chase, but a song like this might be too obvious to use
