    Well for me personally it's not all of a sudden.  I've loved zombies since I saw  Night of the Living Dead when I was 7. Its just a trend right now, like Vampires were a few years ago.

      Hmmm maybe... I wonder what started this trend? At least I can chalk the vampire thing up to 'Twilight'.

      I've never read world war z. But I am a die hard Walking Dead fan. The Zombies are cool but I'm more into the characters survival and relationships.

    I am hooked on the tv show, The Walking Dead. For me, it is not about the zombies but about how people handle being thrown into extremely difficult situations. It makes me wonder what I would do and how I would handle it if the world got turned on it's head.

      Maybe I'm just out of the loop, are there/have there been other tv shows, movies or books about zombies recently? I'm trying to think but am not coming up with much.

      Zombieland was a movie with Bill Murray and Woody Harrelson. It was actually pretty funny. And there is a really popular book called World War Z, but I have not read it.

      Well Resident Evil just had their 4th movie come out. The Walking Dead just started their 3rd season. It comes on Sundays at 9 on amc. The show is based off a popular comic book by the same name. You can read the first 5 on you tube.

    Because people are desperate to watch people with a little more life than those on political debates.
