They have lady zombies too. There was a zombie nun in Dawn of the Dead.
Seriously though, there are much worse things you could be doing as far as entertainment.
For example: going out/getting drunk/smashing other people's property; basically anything that derives pleasure from the misery of others.
To gain enjoyment from a film medium, one does not have to wish to emulate that medium in real life. Watching slasher films doesn't automatically make you into a mass murderer.
Sure, those who are psychologically developed to be mass murderers may develop an obsession with films about the subject, but it doesn't mean that everyone who enjoys the films will want to kill someone.
Personally, I have been watching horror since my pre-teen years, and I don't think that has "damaged" me at all. I am about as anti-violence in "real life" as you can imagine, and my job involves helping people, not harming them.
