If you'd like a good list of zombies, check out my BUG zombie deck.

As far as good creatures for the graveyard,  {Nether Traitor},  {Bloodghast},  {Vengevine}, and {Genesis} are all good options

Genesis is good just didnt make the cut. the other are too small impact in edh for me to include.

{Mirror-Mad Phantasm} is probably really good.

Btw this is amazing (NOTE: I do not claim to have found this combo) but  {Mesmeric Orb} +  {Basalt Monolith} + any eldrazi (  {Kozilek, Butcher of Truth} for example)

Keep tapping and un tapping monolith with the mana you get from it to keep milling your library (each does it a separate time) creating "infinite" zombies, as once you hit kozilek the cycle will continue. Enjoy! 😊

Phantasm wouldn't be good for this deck. It's ability is only one instance of milling, so Sidisi will trigger only once. However, the combo of monolith and orb will work, as that is multiple instances of mill.

You seem to have almost a clashing theme with reanimate effects, graveyard retrieval and using it as a resource (exiling it, ect). I would personally focus more on retrieval and re-animation.

Looking at the list there's nothing bad, but if you cutdown to reanimation and retrieval you'll have some more cuts. I'd also try to get it more zombie tribal if possible.

What I'm thinking for cuts,

{Stinkweed Imp} not a zombie. And besides the dredge it's just kinda weak...
{Gray Merchant of Asphodel} your devotion to black won't be that high. You can recast it though if you use a sac outlet...
{Boneyard Wurm} your graveyard is going to be fluctuating so much I'm not thinking it'll work very well. I could be wrong.
{Eternal Witness} if you want to use it more than once you have to kill and retrieve it, in which case couldn't you just retrieve what you wanted?
{Grim Return} as great as this card is, "from the battlefield" ruins it for this deck.

What I'm thinking for add ins,

{Rooftop Storm} read it. it's epic.
{Necromancer's Stockpile} get that dredge card where it needs to be, chuck something so you can reanimate it, and you get rewarded? Hwhaaat?
{Soul of Innistrad} repeatable retrieval. Epic.
{Grimore of the Dead} grab ALL THE THINGS!
{Extract from Darkness} reanimation.
{Champion of Stray Souls} I honestly don't know why this card is virtually unknown.
{Elixir of Immortality} so you don't mill yourself out.
{Psychic Spiral} see above.

If you decide to take my advice and cut more of the cards that'll reduce the size of your graveyard you'll have room for more add ins. Hope this helped.

 {Splinterfright} should replace  {Undergrowth Scavenger}, usually you're the one with creatures in your grave more than often plus keeps feeding your commanders ability each turn. Oh and trample :3

Also {Ghastly Demise} seems good too
