Some have interpreted the original Night of the Living Dead (1968) to be about the white fear of black rioting. However, the genre has grown and I would think the popularity of it now is more related to the fear of a society collapsing.

The Walking Dead is somewhat of a special case, it is more of a western than a zombie movie. A western is about justice and morality when a character is trapped in an immoral situation with nothing to rely on but themselves and their own conscience.

Pretty clear, the focus on zombie movies is a direct reflection of the post traumatic stress syndrome we as a nation are suffering. Starting with 911, the constant events of the bush years, the economic collapse and the fascist rise since obama took over, we as a nation have lost hope. Zombies are just a way for us to prepare mentally for that certain end.

Yes, vampires are boring and predictable. Zombies? It’s every zombie for itself. Far more interesting.
