zombie horde
Shambling corpse army
A zombie horde is a large, menacing mass of zombies moving together, typically in pursuit of living humans.
The phrase comes from horror fiction and video games, where survivors must outrun or fight off waves of undead.
Figuratively, it describes any overwhelming crowd of mindless or single-purpose pursuers: The Black Friday shoppers descended like a zombie horde.
