I really don't know what to think about this case. I mean... Supernatural occurences with Heiji. Again? There has been Yuki-Onna, the spider-queen-attic-mansion thingy(SHINE-case), demon dog, I guess FuuRinKaZan could also be counted, Vampire Mansion... And now Zombies...
Spoiler:
I think that story type only comprises 1/5th of the Heiji cases, if you don't like the repetitiveness... if you are saying its repetitive, of course.

Well, it's just feels like sort of repetitive. And I just remembered that Mermaid case too! And then there was the turtle-looking island related to the stolen crane painting... But yeah, when I being thinking about Heiji cases the ones with something supernatural lore behind them pops up to mind first... and would the Halloween showdown count too...

That's because Heiji cases are written to follow the basic early 1900s cozy (soft boiled) murder mystery settings, tropes and rules... There are 16 different character archetypes Gosho can go for with these cases and add multiple ones into one character (Heiji and Conan included during the Main cases) anyways so it doesn't matter.

The difference is that some cases actually rely on characters thinking that the supernatural creature is real and that the creature is doing the killings, and some just have the idea or theme of being scary.
Then, you also have the differences between Japanese folklore and foreign folklore. Creatures like Yuki-onna, Kappa, and Kamaitachi are all Japanese youkai myths. While Mermaids, Vampires, and Zombies originate from Western myth. Then the Demon Dog was a Sherlock Holmes: Hound of the Baskervilles reference.
I hope that I can find someway to contribute to the community even if it's just random crack theories and looking things up for people who can't find the information they need.
The cause of death is potassium cyanide, the smart phone shows the producer poisoning himself. Upon searching the producer’s corpse they find an ominous memo addressed to the director’s deceased brother, Naitou Jouji, and an envelope that contains the subtitle of the movie they’re filming (Funeral Procession of the Departed).
It’s become customary for the producer to announce the subtitle at a timing of his own choosing and if by some mistake someone finds out earlier he immediately changes the subtitle.
When he was president of the horror club, Jouji directed a movie for the school festival, but wanted to change it to a suspense movie.
He still had a taste for horror, but felt that a story needs logic as well.
In order to make the club members understand, he put on a play and showed them …
However no one expected Jouji to make himself the victim in a locked room murder.
The footage from that event is gone and the movie was put on hold.
Maybe it’s because they were talking about zombies the whole time, but suddenly they really hear a zombie-like moaning. When they look closely they see that it’s just the still dizzy Kogorou.
Kogorou says the villa is encircled by zombies, and it doesn’t look like it’s the delirium talking…
Side note: ’Funeral Procession of the Departed’ - The last will and testament of the deceased has become reality?!

Point is, it isn't really repetitive—only a fraction of the Heiji cases follow this pattern.

Zombie attack!... but it'll be revealed to be another trick, come next file. Kogoro looked like he was a part of it, too.
Love Heiji's blush at Shinichi/Conan, as well as his whistle (the music note that shows happiness), and Shinichi's/Conan's reaction.
The camerawoman had a "..." reaction to the video shot be the producer as she died, or a subsequent comment of Heiji's, so...

any possible explanation to the zombie attack trick?
Spoiler:
Whether it's a trick or not is yet to be seen but it's either alot of background characters arriving for the filming or it's not even really happening.

Who would stay in-character when arriving for the filming instead of during the filming itself?
This is actually getting pretty interesting. First Kogoro gets incapacitated, but not by the culprit (presumably). Then there's a bunch of guys surrounding the place. It's not often we get large crowds of people like that. I presume they're there for something innocent and aren't involved, but you never know, huh?
Knowing the truth and knowing what to do with the truth are two completely separate ideas. Learn to distinguish them. OR ELSE.
