"Night of the Mini Dead" is the fourth episode of the third volume of the adult animated anthology series Love, Death & Robots. It was written and directed by Robert Bisi and Andy Lyon from a story by Jeff Fowler and Tim Miller. It follows a zombie apocalypse that ravages a miniature world unleashed by a sexual encounter. It was animated by BUCK.
A young couple has sex in a cemetery. There, the man knocks over a statue next to a wooden cross, which falls upside down onto the statue's empty pedestal. Lightning strikes the inverted cross, resurrecting the dead. The zombies quickly kill the couple and return to civilization.
The chaos and carnage begins in California and quickly spreads across the globe, with zombies invading Mexico, France, Thailand, Canada, and the Vatican. News of the plague reaches Washington, D.C., and airstrikes are ordered on major American cities. Survivors in these cities have resorted to Mad-Max-style modifications to their vehicles in an effort to combat the undead.
Upon attacking a nuclear power plant, the zombies receive an exponential power boost after being sprayed with mutagens, some becoming larger than others and capable of breathing green flames. With no other option, the world's powers launch nuclear artillery, destroying the planet in the process.
