There were only six zombie movies made in the year 2000. There were seven in 2001. Four in 2002. Then, suddenly, in 2003 there were 12 movies about the undead and 20 zombie flicks in 2004. In subsequent years the number of zombie films has multiplied like bite victims in a crowded subway car. If we assume that it takes between one and three years on average to make a movie, the horde of zombie movies went into production beginning more or less in 2001 and 2002 and multiplied each year after.

In academic circles, the resurgence in zombie films has been attributed to the 9/11 attacks. Other theories occasionally lurch into view, notably that zombies signify a discomfort with modern technology and the overwhelming nature of digital communication and modern consumerism, yet this fails to explain the spike in production of zombie films in the years after 2001.

what's coli's take?

Ive always felt that we all have a yearning for "society" to fall. No more jobs, no mores bills. Just life, day to day.


With the financial state and the 1% and the 99% people want that abolished and everything to turn back into an even slate.

Thats whats appealing abput the concept. Thats why people legimately have zombie apocalypse plans in real life.


Same way I view womens obsession with vampires. Theyre more vain than men. Whats more appealing the being being forever young and never losing their beauty.

I was gonna toss them in there too but the vampire vs werewolf craze seems to have died down lately

I believe it's toying with an idea for a scenario that's actually possible. People are able to envision post apocalyptic times and mentally test their survival skills.

Zombies isn't a concept that's impossible, and there are people who know this and are preparing. I think it's pretty natural to be fascinated with a situation you could see yourself in.

not on no conspiracy tip but a couple of movies attribute to the 9/11 thing (subliminally)

Now that you mention it, they are making a shytload of alien movies too...

In the 1970s and such, they represented the fear of being absorbed into one mass, of slowly losing one's individuality. You see this in Romero's movies, for example. Post-9/11, it's the fear of society falling apart in one quick and instantaneous act.

For nerds who love and plan for the idea of a zombie apocalypse scenario though, it's their libertarian fantasy where they get to shoot minorities and poor people.
