I was reading my Gamer Informer magazine yesterday and I noticed that last month, 12% of the letters the magazine received were about zombie over saturation. I was just curious as to what my favorite people thought on this. Do you think that we have too much going on in the way of zombies? We have comics, novels, games, movies and television now. As a huge zombie fan myself, I could not be happier but not everyone is as excited about walking dead as I am. Express yourself! Attachments:

exageration heck,lately there havent been much games with zombies this year we just had Dead Rising 2,a Red Dead DLC and a survivor mode in the last Call of Duty i do agree that ,when compared to other monsters like Werewolfs,Vampires and Ghosts,Zombies are appearing more if theres something that is flooding the media,it is: 1) Bald space-marines with huge arms 2) overly sexualized woman with inhumanly possible boobs 3) ''Badass'' characters that can do just about anything ps: i am a zombie fan

Maybe they appear a lot but they don't bother unlike vampires for example which although I like, are becoming annoying.

Crom speaks the truth. I love the crap out of zombies and I am quite lazy.
It should be noted though, that a zombie apocalypse totally solves all the worlds problems with the possible exception of maybe global warming and, of course, that there are freaking zombies.
On a side note: I have loved watching the Walking Dead. Though it differs from the comic, I sort of like the deviations so far.

The lazyness I was referring is the place zombies are slowly taking as a horror narrative device.

The sad thing is that most of the time, zombie movies suck. I have only seen 3 that I even like and two are not even really zombies. 28 Days Later, Zombieland and Dawn of the Dead (2004).

Personally I find almost every zombie movie I've seen either a total borefest or stupid.
The only zombies done right I've seen were in Dead Beat the 6th Dresden Files novel. And that's because the zombies were minions to the villains whom were cool.

It's not that I don't care about them per say, more that the times I've seen them used right have been the exception rather then the norm. And in the same problem, good zombie movies as far as I've seen do not exist, they are nearly all bad.
But then, in those rare exceptions, like in Dead Beat where they are used, they were awesome to see in action. That book even had a zombie tyrannosaurus, awesome...

I do agree that most zombie movies really suck except my listed exceptions. I have watched almost all of them and yeah... Most are embarrassingly terrible.

Eh it's not a movie you watch a lot of time. You watch it laugh and move to something else.

I have to say most zombie films are pretty terrible. I think I might a bigger fan of zombies in games or television or other types of fiction outside actual films.

Zombies are either lame or funny for me. Mostly both.
