I was never a big fan of zombies, although there were a few that I really loved. I definitely agree that the market has been over saturated with zombies films. Consequently, as always happens in the history of horror, a crash occurs. This is what has happened with the zombie sub-genre. At the present time, demons are the sub-genre that is the most popular (due to Paranormal Activity), but, that too, I believe is about to experience a crash because there are way too many demon films. I believe that there are so many demon movies that Scary Movie 5 primarily spoofs demon films (just a note, I hate the Scary Movie series, I am just making a point). As always happens in horror films, these sub-genres will fade and then come back again One example would be the slashers of the 80s, which died by the end of the decade only to back a few years later, only to die again. Thus, a very quick death, recovery, and death again. Ultimately, zombie films have faded, but I am sure they will be revived again.
