Gangnam Zombie is the latest single-location horror flick about the walking dead. The gravely serious opening sequence, which is a preview of what’s to come for these sudden survivalists, doesn’t quite convey the movie’s overall tone, though.

Salem, Massachusetts is an underused setting in horror, but that’s because it’s a bit too on the nose. Even so, the horror film All Fun and Games squarely places its sinister story in a city famous for historical persecution.
