I totally aggre with coyote 100% other than just this small part here.
Zombies become that last bastion of horror that we cannot relate with mingled with the threat of the one thing that humanity fears on a whole: death.
Frankly I think thats the most scary thing about zombies. We can relate to them because they are US. For example in a war of mankind vs. vampires hardly any human would think twice about killing a vampire. Why? Cause they are all unholy creatures of darkness thats sole purpose it kill and feed on humans. In short they are NOT human.
Now in a war of humans vs zombies things get nasty for a few reasons. First like I stated before, zombies were once humans which puts a whole mess of emotional and pyschological trama in the mix. Think of it this way. In war friends and loved ones die, could you even think of anything more scaring then to first lose someone close to you in a battle just to have face them again on the side of the enemy as one of the undead horde?

Its kinda like that scene in the Walking Dead TV series when one of the survivors faces having to shoot his own wife after she became infected.

The Twilight vampires are the shiny sparkly object that's been thrown into the mix to distract everyone while the real vamps get to do their work by night and in the shadows.
Just sayin'

Blame Ann Rice.. THAT was the begining of the end for bad azz vamps. period. Her books were the main cause of the vampire / insecure Bisexual blood sucker, trying to get in touch with his or her's feelings. While I did enjoy most of the cronicals, biting the tool of a trans gender vamp to become a night stalker, well.... I think I'll work on my tan..
Edit: and finish my mojito. Goddamn mint leaves always clog the straw, I fucking hate that.

You seem to be forgetting that vampires were once human too. The themes are very similar, the primary difference being that vampires have intellect and zombies do not. It is still the fear of an evil thing that is already dead that was once human.
And because vampires have intellect, that defeat zombies in any contest of skill or power, and are generally cooler and more varied, and therefore better storytelling tools.

The whole reason we are enamered by the whole Zombie thing is because we as people are lazy.
Yup.
We see an apocalypse as redemption. yea, we might have to fight off the zombie threat, but the real infatuation is free break'ins at the malls. That, and securing some bad ass weaponry, and no more responsibility whatsoever.
Credit debt?? Forgotten.
Bitchy wife? Could have sworn she was undead. Ohh well, my bad.
The need to pump hot lead into something that deserves it, but yet your doing mandkind a favor?.. Priceless.
