ZombielandLet's get this out of the way first: I'm a zombie fan. I don't like vampires, and I don't think that Edward is particularly sexy. Sorry. But as an entertainment commentator for Starpulse

Zombification,ironically,is something that even Bram Stoker,were he to ever rise from the grave,would mimic!

I like zombies. I have no problem with vampires either...if they're scary. I don't enjoy gay, sparkly, girly vamps.

All Pro Wrestling Acronym The reason for this is apparent. Zombies will never be sexy, nor will they ever be enviable. Even the new super fast mutant zombies from Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake can't compete with vampires who are now more akin to superheroes than monsters. They sparkle in the sunlight rather than dissolve. Who wouldn't pay the price of feeding off medical blood bags for an eternity if they could prance among the treetops and stop on-coming vehicles with their super strength? Even last year's Zombie Strippers merely succeeded in making our beloved shambling pussbags more laughable than attractive, and continue shoveling dirt on their shallow grave.

None of this deters me as a hard nosed zombie fan because zombies bring us better horror movies than vampires. The best vampire movies usually reside in the middling area of action/comedy/horror (Underworld, Dusk Til' Dawn, The Lost Boys) whereas zombies, at their best, deliver the hard dosage that horror fans crave (Day of the Dead, Lucio Fulci's Zombie, Pet Sematary). And when they're not doing that, they're always good for a laugh (Shaun of the Dead, ZombieLand).
The simple truth of it is that vampires and zombies occupy two different subgenres of horror, and both are fiercely territorial. Vampires are light, fun, and dramatic, where zombies are eith

Return of the Living Dead 3 had a sexy zombie in it. The genre could always be reinvigorated with a new type of zombie. Personally I'd like to see a return to the voodoo zombie ala White Zombie and Serpent and the Rainbow then more of the Romero zombie apocolypse.
