This generator exists for one purpose: to drag something terrible and original out of the dark and set it loose at your table. Roll the lists. Combine what you find. The results will not always be comfortable, and they will not always be predictable — which is exactly as it should be. The most dangerous undead are never the ones your players have faced before.
