Zombies have always been an interest of mine, in all shapes, forms, and sizes. But unfortunately, after 'The Walking Dead' and its' million spin-offs seem to have beaten it to a pulp, and terrible movies such as 'Day of the Dead' and 'World War Z', one of the worst books to film adaptations since the first Percy Jackson movie.
It would be nice to see zombies explored in a different way that doesn't make people groan like the shambling hoards themselves when the people find a piss poor zombie story about the same repeated bullshit. I am not just taking movies either, zombie novels can be all the rage as well, zombies could be written with inspiration linked to voodoo. Or alchemy. Or even a rapture-style event where the dead pour back into the world of the living.
Zombies don't even have to be an allegory for anything (especially consumerism), because that horse has already been beaten to death (and unfortunately been brought back to life again and again), so all I am saying is that I would like to see more zombie stories with a little more creative inspiration and take some unique twists on the deadheads, and I am not talking about the pot-smoking kind.
What do you think about zombies and how do you think they can be creatively used?
