I would say people who become monsters or machines is also workable. Indestructible Man, The H Man, Altered States, Tetsuo, Videodrome, Jekyll and Hyde...it's a really common monster archetype with routes going back as far as the Metamorphoses. Mummies really are nowhere near as iconic as zombies have become, and they're really kind of a golem archetype, being shuffling animated constructs as they are. Also interesting are machines that turn on people and places of sentient evil.
