Zombies and vampires have long been popular monsters, but for some years now we’ve just been deluged with them in pop culture. I wonder if there’s a particular reason for the heightened fascination.

Because they have been humanized. Meaning they have been portrayed as having feelings like human beings.

As an aside from that, I think he should do a gun promotion for the coming zombie apocalypse. A lot of them have been popping up around the country. I wouldn’t mind having a chance to win a Remington 870 or a Judge.

I have a theory that's semi-serious. I think it has to do with conditioning people to believe that a resurrection of the dead is somehow evil. This is in contrast to the biblical teaching that there will be a resurrection of all the dead one day. In addition there was the resurrection of Jesus Christ there will be a resurrection from the dead of two witnesses in the end times.

Vampires are a surrogate for our government.

Zombies? Islam.
