Probably can't be done too literally but, how about trying out a translation of:

The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies

Or maybe:

Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Alien, Flesh Eating, Hellbound, Zombified Living Dead Part 2

Fun, eh?

Probably can't be done too literally but, how about trying out a translation of:

Noodlot...Should we start calling it 'Noodlot, the hands of fate?'
