Is there body horror?

Does some sort of experimentation, mutations, or other event happen that warps the body (ex: Dr. Who’s “Of Love and Monsters, Parayte (manga), Akira (anime)).

There's an entire planet grown from flesh that gets cut, burned, and squashed in various gross ways. CG animals are cut open and have artificial limbs and other additions attached to their bodies.

There’s nothing that actually fits body horror. There are bodily injuries and harm but not actual body horror

A bit over an hour into the movie, an elderly couple jumps off a cliff and the aftermath (which includes gorey, smashed faces) is shown in VERY graphic detail. It shows them unexpectedly once more after Pelle comforts Dani.

There is a shot of a child's rotting decapitated head sitting in the middle of the road, covered in swarming ants. We also see a rotting corpse hidden in an attic. One character decapitates themselves using a piano wire. A mummified severed head is used as part of a statue.

The eyes sometimes go realistic, Natsuki glitches into death. It's mildly disturbing

There's violence being enacted upon human bodies of course, but nothing I'd classify as "body horror" in the stricter sense

Not sure if this counts, but Joe does things to people after he kills them. I won’t go into detail but there’s a very prominent scene in s2 and the end of s3.

Emperor Belos, the man antagonist of the series, has a condition that causes him to turn into what is essentially a gooey rotting corpse. It's not bloody or super gory on accounts of the art style, but it's still pretty horrifying and not fun to look at.

Many of the walkers demonstrate body horror. They are in various states of decay, some have parts of their bodies missing, some of them have rotted to the point they are almost fused with the earth. I'd also say the way Negan kills a certain character is so brutal and graphic it could count as body horror.

not really sure why there's so many votes for yes? body horror isn't the same thing as people getting injured.

The zombies are infected with a mushroom growing on their bodies. Alot of their designs are very grotesque, especially the clicker.
