Zombies ? Why Zombies ?

I was watching the Giants collapse this weekend with some friends :-(  And the new Friday the 13th commercial came on.   A discussion ensued about horror films and I brought up that I only watch Zombie movies - that brought silence to an already depressed crowd.  Zombie movies ?  Like 28 days later ?  I guess that's OK.   So I found myself defending the genre.

Why Zombie movies ?  Because it could and probably will happen.   How easy is it to believe that the government - or big business will create some crazy ass virus and inject us all "for safety reasons".  Have you been to a casino lately ?  The invasion has already begun.  

What are the pillars of the horror industry ?  Vampires and Werewolves, sorry the aren't among us.   Psychopathic killers, CSI does too good of a job weekly for me to need the big screen. Creature Features, scientists  would carve them up before they got a chance to be a threat.  Supernatural Thrillers ? No, it's Zombie movies for me.   Simple plot, simple rules and quite the motivator to watch every move big pharma makes.
