'''''Zombi 3D''''' is a 1988 film and the sequel to [[Lucio Fulci]]'s ''[[Zombi 2 (Film)|Zombi 2]]''. The film was directed by Fulci with the assistance of schlockmeisters Bruno Mattei and Claudio Fragasso.
Dr. Holder, a scientist stationed in the Philippines, is working on a virus called Death One with the hopes of bringing the dead back to life. Little does he know, the virus does more than that: it ''[[Gone Horribly Right|kills the living]]'' in addition to reanimating the dead. [[My God, What Have I Done?|Horrified at how his work could have such killing potential]], he volunteers to turn in his resignation and turn in what samples he has left.
Just before the samples can reach their intended destination, two nutjobs driving a Ford Econoline show up to steal the box containing Death One. One is killed in the resulting shootout, but the other manages to escape with the box. Then he trips, and the box breaks. [[What an Idiot!|While trying to pick it back up, he accidentally touches the liquid]] and flees to the nearest hotel. No matter what he tries, the infection spreads and he dies.
A decontamination squad is sent to comb the area, and the blood samples left by the nutjob are traced to the hotel. The decontamination squad rounds up everyone inside and kills them after recovering their quarry. General Morton orders the hotel patrons and staff buried in a mass grave and the nutjob burned. As Dr. Holder unsuccessfully tries to warn the General to let the corpse out of the oven, what he fears happens: the nutjob's ashes infect the air and turn the living into the living dead.

'''Dr. Holder''': Cut it off!? ''How?'' By continuing to kill ''thousands of innocent victims!?'' }}

* [[Noble Demon]]: General Morton.

{{quote| '''General Morton''': Evacuate the premises... and eliminate everyone there. Bury them in a mass grave.}}
* [[Well
* [[Woman in White]]: Dr. Holder's assistant wears a completely white [[Palette Swap]] of Dr. Holder's outfit.
