As far as horror movies go, zombies started getting a lot of attention again in the early 00’s, when movies and remakes would come forth like mad. I saw this lasting pretty much until now, and I figured it was some kind of fad. Since zombies are extremely easy to work with, why not capitalize them with games, books and TV shows. There may very well be some psychological link that relates it to current societal or economical happenings, but that’s beyond me. I just like zombies, and I liked them years before they ’‘were cool again’’.
