Space Zombies is the first EP by YouTube comedian Jarrod Alonge, released under the moniker of his fictitious metalcore band Amidst the Grave's Demons on June 17, 2016. The album's title is a reference to the Zombie and Space EPs by The Devil Wears Prada.

Unlike Alonge's previous albums that focused primarily on satirizing musical tropes, Space Zombies directly parodies the bands The Devil Wears Prada, A Day to Remember, Architects, and For Today.{{Cite web|url=http://www.rocksound.tv/news/read/jarrod-alonge-unveils-ep-featuring-parodies-of-adtr-architects-tdwp-more|title=Jarrod Alonge Unveils EP Featuring Parodies Of ADTR, Architects, TDWP + More - News - Rock Sound Magazine|website=Rock Sound Magazine|language=en-GB|access-date=March 12, 2017|archive-date=December 20, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220111118/http://www.rocksound.tv/news/read/jarrod-alonge-unveils-ep-featuring-parodies-of-adtr-architects-tdwp-more|url-status=dead}} In addition to the band parodies, the EP also features an acoustic version of the song "The Swimmer" from Beating a Dead Horse, with the original song being a parody of the band Memphis May Fire.
