Are zombies getting old?

I ask this as a fan of zombies in any form of media. I love a good zombie movie, but recently I've realized that there isnt much that has been done with them. The only change I can think of of is having them run and in the case of Return of the Living Dead, talk. The best zombie movies seem to be more about the humans which is interesting but it also highlights how dull zombies can be after a while. They haven't evolved in years. I think more has been done with Vampires than zombies. There are much better Vampire movies than zombie movies.

It's a shame since I like zombies but what can really be done with zombies to make them more interesting?

Yes they have. I really don't get the sudden obsession with them. I also don't like how zombies have evolved as of late.

Wouldn't mind a back to basics zombie film. Dead c*nts with a vengeance. Not a virus. Not a disease. Not an infection. The rising of the dead, motherf*ckers.MrPraline

Its an original idea, and there is not much you can add to it.

zombies getting old

but there are more vamps happening than zombies

ok man

they are popular because they are the most "interactive" of the movie monsters.

nobody asks what you would do if a vampire came after you you would just run (or nail them or laugh at them depending on how sparkly they are).

with zombies people come up with elaborate plans to live through the zom onslaught and it is that interactivity that makes them popular.

i don't see that losing popularity any time soon because people like to pretend they are in situations and play the game of thinking their way out of it.

Classic zombie films like Night of the living dead and dawn of the dead are more about them being locked up together, the zombies don't actually get that much screen time. Similar thing with good modern zombie films such as 28 days later. It's mostly them exploring England, they don't see or kill that many zombies.

Zombies are a good plot device but I'd like to see some more original scenarios to put the characters in.

I never really cared for zombies myself. the zombies themselves are just so meh.

I don't think so. They look old already:P

Zombie-themed fun runs are starting to become a thing where I'm from. It's getting old pretty fast.

A vampire movie would be legit. Not that sparkly vampire crap, I mean something on the lines like Dracula or even Blade.

In a way, I agree that they're getting old but I still like to see more movies about zombies. I personally like to see a videogame that focuses on open world survival and zombies. Now that would be an awesome concept. I wonder why no one has done that yet.

They are maybe a bit played out, but it is nothing new, they have been a mainstay in popular culture for 20 years. The only difference I see now is comedy films with zombies and television shows

Yes, of course. But The Undead will live forever. ;)

not enough in my opinion.

only one good t.v show

no good games that has been released for while

havn't seen good movie for while

The zombie stories I follow are The Walking Dead, Highschool Of The Dead, I just started to recently read World War Z, and if there's a video game coming out with an interesting concept on zombies, I'll take notice.

Yes. Very.

Zombies don't age.:x

I want a Zombies Ate My Neighbours remake.

Yes.

So i'll just watch Romero's movies.

They were old about 7 years back. Maybe 4.

It's getting a little overdone

no,but you're slowly becoming an artsy.

Yes, I am getting tired of all these games and movies being about stupid zombies.

Not in my opinion:

No. Next question.TheWalkingGhost

You're so cool and edgy.

Yes, and very over saturated in every industry.

And I'm sick to death of the "realistic" zombies that are not realistic.

The its a virus, then proceed to ignore every other law of biology.(like the need for food & water)

If you are going realistic go all the way in, like 28 days later(if they are not living dead then they die off after so long)

Why is it so taboo to have witchcraft zombies now a days (you know, actual walking dead!)

Isn't the need for food and water appeased through flesh-munching?

You could argue this for the first month, but after the population disapears(like Walking Dead) then the zombies would start dropping like flies,

and be actual corpses in a weeks time.

If anything there's not enough.

Yes.

How do you even find threads from August?

Yes. BRING BACK THE GARGOYLES!!!!

to be fair vampires give people more to work with since they can actually have personalities. Personally I like zombies, but they do seem to be oversaturated at them moment.

btw it seems like it's been a while since I've seen you around Film_Guy how's it been going?

zombies, vampires, way too overdone.

why do people feel the need to bump topics from 4 months ago?
